• Sugar Makes Me Fat – Thoughts from July 23, 2022

  

  Today I feel fat. I’ve felt fat because my scale said I was fat. My stomach feels like someone attached a sandbag to the inside of my skin. All of this fat shaming is to say that I need to change my routine on my days off. I’ve said this before and here I am…

• Toilet Paper – Thoughts from July 11 and 13, 2022

  

  July 11, 2022 I don’t know if I’ve talked about this, but I’m an over-wiper. I’m not happy until I see next to nothing on the toilet paper. It makes me wonder if other people even look at the toilet paper after they wipe. I also stand when I wipe. I guess my wiping style…

• Writing Ads – Thoughts from July 6 and 7, 2022

  

  July 6, 2022 I decided that my pseudonym for my fictional writing is B. P. Kirwan. Luckily, I can use my same Amazon account. (Future note: This was all I said on this day. I had apparently only started the thought because I didn’t have a period on the last sentence. My plan is still…

• Fourth of July Fireworks – Thoughts from July 3 and 5, 2022

  

  July 3, 2022 Yesterday was my birthday, and I celebrated with sushi and gambling. It was the big five two. It was my last day of being off from work with COVID. I’m back to work today. I always worry that my ID won’t work when I’ve been off for a while, but it worked…

• Booster Shot – Thoughts from April 30 and May 1, 2022

  

  April 30, 2022 This past Wednesday, Patti and I got our second booster shots. On Thursday, I did yard work and was going to go out grocery shopping, but found my whole body was in pain and I just wanted to sit down. Admittedly, I sat down on the squishy couch so I got more…

• Singing My Songs – Thoughts from April 3 and 10, 2022

  

  April 3, 2022 I’m listening to an autobiography by Phil Collins read by him. He has had a life in entertainment since he was a young boy. His transition from a drummer and backup singer to the main singer in Genesis made me want to listen to my songs. Sometimes I listen to myself and…

• Negative Entertainment – Thoughts from March 21 and 27, 2022

  

  March 21, 2022 If you think I’m going to be honest in these Thoughts papers, you must know me or am me. I don’t have an off switch to my honesty. The only difference between me and my overly honest grandma is I don’t consider my opinions as honest assessments of anything. My opinions are…

• Pooping Cat – Thoughts from March 13 and 20, 2022

  

  March 13, 2022 Today, I have an adorable story about Beatrix. She is the smallest of Scout’s kittens even though they’re not kittens anymore. I was on the toilet and she was in front of me in one of the litter boxes. She was facing away from me and scratching out a good spot to…

• Competition Man – Thoughts from March 5, 2022

  

  There’s something I’ve noticed recently. I’ve noticed it before, but I’ve seen several great examples of this recently. People of color, on the whole, are nicer and more pleasant than white people. Women and gay men are more pleasant than straight men, but I’ve noticed that for years. Why is it the most privileged among…

• Restroom Stall Weirdness – Thoughts from February 23 and 27, 2022

  

  February 23, 2022 Before I left the house today, I looked up a sad song playlist. I found one and was listening to it on my way to work. Why did I want a sad song playlist? It started when something I was listening to put me in mind of the song “Don’t Cry Out…
