Cloaked Names For Refined Sugar

It was a bit of a see-sawing day with our weather, but after the rain started, it quickly began cooling down which was just fine by me. On my way to office exceptionally early, I stopped at a convenience store on the south end, just to grab a small cup of coffee to keep me alert after having another multi-awakening night. I happened to be the only … continue reading

A Check Was Written

With the approaching full moon, I was once again reminded of its effects on my sleeping patterns while preparing for work this morning. I don't have sleepless nights, but rather ones where I'm often awakened for absolutely no reason, which of course doesn't allow me to get a fully-restful night's sleep. These patterns have followed me for countless … continue reading

Overflowing With My

I was a little late getting to office due to several errands I had to run beforehand, but happy to have them over with before I started my day at office. I sometimes find it a bit laughable whenever people in the general public think I'm one of those who doesn't get to office until mid-morning, when in fact, I'm there most of the time before many h … continue reading

Her Fecal Roster

Another Monday morning arrived, and after having had a good physical workout in the heat and humidity yesterday, I was hard-pressed getting myself up and at em at the normal hour, so I was inevitably later to office than normally which had me racing to play catch-up with my early morning duties. As soon as the hour of eight arrived, I was off to … continue reading

Only A Failure To See

The rain that began last evening appeared to be an on-and-off progression of showers throughout the entire night and into the morning. Of course shortly before I awakened, my power went out and remained that way for a good four hours. I was beginning to worry about my frozen foods beginning to melt in my freezer, but fortunately they remained froze … continue reading

Deeply Infested With Drug Addicts

Now if we don't get a storm tonight or tomorrow, I'll be greatly surprised, and only due to the fact that whenever we have high temps coupled with high humidity, that's almost always the precursor of a rain-filled storm front coming our way. We need the rain, but definitely not high winds or tornados. I had a nice chat with a colleague of mine t … continue reading

How Much More Money

This heat just doesn't seem to want to let up, where even early this morning it was already feeling like it was going to be another hot and humid one. Let's hope we get the rain they're predicting towards the end of this weekend. Most of my morning was consumed by an early closing which I ended up being late for because the closing agent told me … continue reading

They Become Up-Hill Battles

When looking at people's lawns as I was driving to work this morning, it became quite evident we're approaching drought conditions, and if these days without rain continue, we're gonna have some pretty browned-up yards and gardens all over town. Just yesterday I noticed someone having planted either a squash or pumpkin plant near their front sidewa … continue reading

Wavering Loyalties

Having had a decent night's sleep, I was back in my normal morning routine, and glad for it because there are times when we get side-tracked by some happening which takes days and even weeks to get back into the groove of things. Thinking I'd stop and grab a cup of java on my way to work, I decided against it because of the many cars already par … continue reading

No Horsing Around

Having had a half-waking and somewhat turbulent night's sleep, I found myself at office even an hour before my earliest, which afforded me time to get my brain re-calibrated and head into a new day. After having a good long reflection on the happenings of last evening, I came to the conclusion that beyond a doubt, there's no good deed that goes unp … continue reading
