It's 9:34 in the morning. I just finished watching a movie I started last night. My stomach is unhappy with me, and my brain wonders if the discomfort is doing lasting damage. There's a slight ache... the semblance of nausea... and some mild heartburn, I think. I'm already acclimatizing, as though it were a new … Continue reading 2022-10-30 — Happy Halloween Eve

I think today I'm just pretty much numb. Yesterday, I woke up with a weird stomach ache. It was the kind I get when I have a soda on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. It's a high-stomach pain, just below the diaphragm that radiates into the upper chest. I used to have … Continue reading 2022-10-28 — Nearly Numb

I'm just about out of steam. It's just one piece of bad news after another, and I'm just... I'm trying to buy a house/land/whatever. I've kept my credit pristine for my entire life. And now, without any warning, I'm suddenly in collections with the state of Arkansas with a lien filed in Benton County courts. … Continue reading 2022-10-26 — Running Out of Steam

Howdy, folks. 😊 Happy Monday. 😊 Clearly, I've not been as good about writing every day. Life is crazy. Yesterday, let's see... It was a working Sunday for me. I didn't plan it that way, but I had a lady call me in the morning who had a mechanic come out to help her at … Continue reading 2022-10-24 — Boer Goat

I'm really struggling right now, and I just keep getting worse and worse. That steady overall decent continues. Emotionally, my health is at perhaps the lowest point of my life. My physical health is playing a large part in that as well. I'm stressed and discouraged pretty much constantly. I'm having more joint pain than … Continue reading 2022-10-21 — Reclusive

I guess I haven't written in a few days. Right now, I'm... really dejected. I made the mistake of thinking that I was going to be buying the piece of property across the road. It's been for sale for most of the last 20 years, I think. And with the economic downturn, I... didn't figure … Continue reading 2022-10-19 — Start Over

I was talking to my mom yesterday about how much weight I'd lost, and she asked how much I actually weighed. I hadn't actually stood on the scale in a long time, and being thus unsure, I marched my littler butt upstairs to weigh myself, and what did I find? I... haven't lost as much … Continue reading 2022-10-16 — Skewed Perspective

One month left until I'm off to the land down under. Crazy day today. Seems like nearly everything went sideways. But the day is over, and I'm off to bed. Nice to have a day to sleep in after so much craziness. Love and hugs. 😊 Lift the World ~ stephen

It's been a day. I'm... tired but still going (my nephew Austin and I have been up working on one dating app to rule them all (it's amazing how deficient even the most-expensive dating apps are). So... we're designing one that has absolutely everything. I mean, with E-Harmony, for example, you can't even sort by … Continue reading 2022-10-14 — A Special Breed of Ridiculous

It's pretty shocking how much weight I've lost. I didn't really notice until today when I saw myself in the mirror and was like... 😶😶😶 It's amazing how quickly things turn. I stop eating the junk again, and then I just... don't eat much at all because I'm so busy and stressed all the time, … Continue reading 2022-10-12 — Must Eat More
