One’s Self, Avoiding Pecans, and Painting Mishaps – Thoughts from March 27, 2025
March 27, 2025 Here we are again. I’m at the Honda dealer, waiting to get my car serviced. It sounds like I’m waiting for my car outside a brothel, but you need to get your mind out of the gutter. Why you, the future reader of these words, would plant that in my mind, I…
First Surgery, Allergy Apps, and Drinking the Costco Lemonade – Thoughts from March 23, 2025
There’s so much I haven’t talked about in these Thoughts papers; I don’t know where to begin. The biggest thing going on in my life is being scheduled for my first surgery. On May 22, I will have that first surgery. I am augmenting my nose to be even larger. Actually, I’m getting the polyp…
Sleeping In, Addictions, and Being a Control Freak – Thoughts from February 24, 2025
The best way to start this Thoughts paper is just to start it. I have many things I want to talk about, but don’t know where to begin. The ongoing saga of working on the house continues. I have a few pieces of trim to fix, but we’re down to just finishing the painting. The…
Mini-Vacations, V Day, and New Obsessions – Thoughts from February 16, 2025
Patti and I are back from our mini-vacation and we’re still working on the house. We’re down to painting and fixing some of the trim. It’s going to feel weird when we finish everything. The first day I don’t have to set the alarm to get up on my days off is going to be…
New Years, Old Jobs, and The Wedding Song – Thoughts from December 29, 2024 to January 26, 2025
December 29, 2024 The year is ending in two days. There are several things I’m looking forward to in 2025. My last loan payment will be at the end of February. In March, I’ll have been at Disney for 20 years. That will mean my vacation and sick time earned will go up. When I…
Out with the Old Shed, In with the New – Thoughts from December 27, 2024
This entry was not actually written on the 27th, but let’s pretend that it was. Patti and I had been working on the outside of the house and now it was time to put in the new shed in the backyard. Step one of putting in the new shed was deconstructing the old shed. Some…
Christmas, Cats, and a New Cat Tree – Thoughts from December 25, 2024
Just as Christmas Eve was mainly about our niece and nephew’s new baby, Christmas Day was about Scout and her three kittens. Actually, it’s about Scout and her only slightly younger than her adult cats. Until next July, Scout is four and Beatrix, Luna, and Willow are three. Beatrix is about the same size as…
Things Not Said, No Shoes, and Happy Holidays – Thoughts from December 24, 2024
For Christmas Eve, Patti and I went to our niece and nephew’s house. Patti’s sister, three of her sister’s sons, and an assortment of other people like me were there. Patti’s grandniece (a term I had to look up) was there, which I only mention because she was the adoptive parent of one of Scout’s…
Downness, Home Repairs, and New Computers – Thoughts from December 18, 2024
As usual, I haven’t been writing my Thoughts papers recently and I’ve been feeling down recently. Part of my “downness” stems from a document from our mobile home park detailing what is wrong with the outside of our house. The main and most difficult parts have to do with how run-down the paint is on…
Cheating, Unhappy Wives, and Eating Together – Thoughts from November 25 and December 2, 2024
November 25, 2024 I’ve never cheated on Patti, and I never will. I’m sure I’ve had opportunities, but I’ve probably missed them by being clueless to such things. If someone was willing to cheat on Patti with me, I wouldn’t want to be with them anyway. My flirting game is virtually nonexistent. I never really…
