Everything went downhill.

Yesterday, I woke up unrested again, with mental anguish and memories of bad dreams. The day began early and in a typical fashion. Everything went downhill from there. I’m getting too old to start over, but I need a fresh start.

Happy Hump Day

I want to go home.

Another restless night.

I learned yesterday that another team member gave notice and is leaving this Friday. Maybe my weird dreams from the previous night were a warning of this situation. This situation is a repeat of six months ago when my boss resigned unexpectedly. I can’t keep up with the pace and workload, and I have to finish a project where he left off.  I want to go home.

Happy Tuesday.

Another restless night

Last night, I had the most restless night’s sleep. I experienced dreams involving major construction at an office building, waiting in lines, giving someone advice to become an entrepreneur, and conversations about cats, chalk, and mini chalkboards. By the time I drifted off into a deep sleep, my alarm went off.

Happy Monday.

Who knew?

Happy Mother’s Day. It has been six years since the “Mother’s Day Experience.” My mother and I have not spoken since my father’s death three years ago. This time, a year ago, a consumer collections company sued me.  

I wish I experienced the Aurora Borealis this weekend. Who knew a solar storm could be this cool? Tomorrow, I return to work and the things that await. Happy Sunday.

Northern Lights

This weekend, the effects of a solar storm in the Northern Hemisphere brought the appearance of North Lights across the sky. Some of the photos online were amazing.

Last night, I dreamed my entire yard was buried deep beneath dirt and old leaves. I kept digging but couldn’t reach the bottom. This morning, I watched “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” The film was decently entertaining.

I have to go to the airport later.  

Happy Saturday.

HOA

I spent part of the day at the doctor’s office, leaving with lab assignments before my next visit. It felt like school, well, kind of. Our next-door neighbor finally moved their broken-down car from in front of their house (it always created an issue on trash day); I saw it parked in the community parking area—probably courtesy of our HOA (Home-life Objection Authority).

Happy Thursday.

Perks of adulthood.

Yesterday, I watched the Netflix six-episode series “A Man in Full.” It is a story about a wealthy man who owed over $1 billion in debt, and one of the largest banks he owed the most significant portion of debt went after him and his assets. This morning, I took my car in for maintenance service; as with every visit, the bill came with a list of servicing needs and estimates—one of the perks of adulthood.  

Happy Hump Day.

So far…

Yesterday, I watched the movies “Unfrosted,” “The Equalizer,” and Katt Williams’ comedy special “Woke Foke.” My 3D puzzles arrived, but I didn’t want to open them, the nerdy collector in me. Things have been quiet so far; I hope it stays that way, even for a little while.

Power Ball

Yesterday, my workday started early; my eyes were bothering me. I received a jury summons and experienced more drama regarding my late father’s estate.  

A Laos-born immigrant with cancer won the $1.3 billion power ball. The US economy is reliant on more debt to boost economic growth.  

Have you ever met someone who couldn’t sing and loved to sing?

Happy Tuesday.

Another dreadful week.

Yesterday was weird, with triggered animosity. It was my son’s birthday; we had not spoken to him or his family in two years.

Last night, I dreamed I was with my mother. I asked her if she regretted having all those kids; she said yes. I have not spoken to her since my father’s death three years ago.

I’m dreading work today. It is the start of another week of things I don’t want to do. Happy Monday.

Work-Related

I woke up this morning unable to recall my dream, but it was work-related. I watched “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” part one, which focused on Barry Allen and his wife, Iris; I thought it was decent storytelling and entertaining. In the news, there were tornadoes in the Midwest; the White House had its Correspondence Dinner, and the FCC reinstated Net Neutrality. I challenged myself, ordered a few sets of 3-D puzzles, put some of my social media accounts on hiatus, and scheduled time to continue downsizing the content in my home.

Happy Sunday.
