• Writing Thoughts and Me – Thoughts from July 8 to 14, 2024

  

  July 8, 2024 There’s been a rumor that this is my last Thoughts paper. I just want to state for the record that I still have thoughts I write down and I don’t see an end to them anytime soon. Who started the rumor is not important. Why they started the rumor is more relevant…

  August 21, 2023 Yesterday, I got a call from work, and they said I didn’t have to come in if I didn’t want to. You don’t have to beg me to take a day off, so I did. The reason they offered it was because of the hurricane warnings we had in the area. It…

• Kidney Stones and Vehicle Emblems – Thoughts from August 7 and 13, 2023

  

  August 7, 2023 I started feeling a pain in my lower back. When I noticed it was only on one side, I worried. I had kidney stones once in my life and I vowed never to get them again. A pain in only one side of your lower back is how it begins. The pain…

• X Chromosome – Thoughts from July 30 and August 1, 2022
