Feeling Like Winter

Woke up Sunday morning to snow covering the fallen leaves and pine needles I still need to clean up off the lawn. I knew snow was a possibility, but that possibility turned into reality between Saturday night and Sunday morning. My wife and daughter stayed up pretty late Saturday night, while I fell asleep rewatching […]

Funk #4,999

The brain is a tricky beast. You don’t often think about the brain getting fatigue, much like say your calves or forearms after a strenuous workout. Or hell, maybe you do. I don’t, anyways. I’ve been dealing with anxiety and panic attacks for over 10 years now, so I’ve gotten used to what they feel […]

Friday Reprieve(Requiem For A Nightmare)

This has been one hell of a ride, reality. I get it, we humans are tough and can take whatever God/Satan/Medical Emergencies/Baphomet can throw at us. But man, these last 9 to 10 days have been pitching some seriously dangerous fast balls at my head and landing quite a few of them. I’m not going […]

The Hubners And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Year

There are days when I just want to yell at the universe, “Give me a break!” A series of events take place that snowball into a dumpster fire of epic proportions, leaving you to put out that dumpster fire before your life is overtaken by burning trash. That’s sort of how I feel about the […]

Friday Check-In : March 1st Edition(Watching The Wheels)

Hard to believe it’s March 1st. I mean, if I’m being honest I’m still trying to catch up from Christmas. The fact that it’s now March of 2024 is kind of insane to me. The last four years all feel like a big, messy blur. Four years ago we were looking at the real possibility […]

Things Keep Moving, Changes Imminent, RIP Uncle Joe

It’s been a heavy week so far. The impending move of our oldest is officially happening. They found an apartment in Indianapolis. Something that’s reasonably priced but not a dump either. Reasonable price and not a dump is a rarity in the world of renting these days, so I’m happy they found something. There was […]

Friday Words Of Wisdom(Or Wisdom According To Me)

I’m coming to the conclusion that you should not ask the universe the question “Can it get any worse?”. Nine times out of ten the reply from the universe is “Hold my beer.” Just when you get a day or two reprieve from it all, something else is lurking just around the corner waiting to […]

Miss Celeste

Life can be pretty relentless. You hear about stories where someone just continues to have the best of luck in life, love, success, and all the above and wonder “Wow. How?” I’ve seen the opposite with my 20-year old daughter over the last year. From health issues to relationship issues to job issues, one after […]

Cemetery Walk, Olivia Rodrigo, and Feeling The Feels

I was still feeling sore today. Not enough to stop me from being active, but enough for my brain to talk me out of being active(damn you, brain.) Still, common sense and the need for some quality sunshine prevailed over ‘Lazy John’ and his whispers of “nah, just go home”. I headed to the Beyer […]

Upgrading To The 21st Century

Life tends to evolve, shift, and upgrade right before our eyes. Sometimes it even does it when we’re not watching, so the next time we turn around its as if we’re living in some strange, new existence. I’ve always tried to keep up with the times. I never wanted to be left behind, yet it […]
