I keep hearing something in blogs and articles that bothers me. Perhaps I should stop being a glutton for punishment and cease and desist from reading all material with a viewpoint not aligned with my own, but I think staying only with people of like mind is kind of isolating and ignorant. So what is [...]

I may feel like a complete piece of shit, but days like today make me glad to do what I do at work. I think one of my kiddos who is reluctant to talk crossed a bridge today and established a little bit of trust with me. When I took the kiddo back to the [...]

…when I’m posing as a Sunday School teacher tomorrow. What kind of idiot who can barely drive and hobble up to the altar rail agrees to fill in as a SS sub when the regular teacher is on vacation and the backup is deathly ill? Me. I think the medicine is impairing my executive function. [...]

I am completely wiped. Going back to work full-time has absolutely taken it out of me, not to mention I’m still in pain and barely eating. I did eat three separate times today – nothing healthy and very small portions, mind you, but at least my stomach is tolerating some foods again. I think yesterday [...]

On fire does not even begin to describe how my groin feels after a 10 hour day at work. Inguinal hernia is currently our best guess and I think it might be the winner. Tonight I informed my supervisor we might need to look at lining up a sub for a couple weeks even though [...]

Way back when I was a little kid, my mom was a special ed aide at my elementary school. A couple years she worked most closely with one particular teacher; Mrs. P was a special ed teacher who had to have been aware that I – a chronic overachiever who had never heard of a [...]

“If you are able to bear the entire yoke of the Lord, you will be perfect. But if you are not able, then at least do what you can.” – Didache, chapter 6 Six months ago I had never heard of the Didache. I still don’t know a lot about it nor have read much [...]

I know this event was pre-Percocet and perhaps pre-Vicodin, but while reading RLP’s piece on dreams this evening I remembered that recently I had a dream in which I don’t remember what all happened, but at the end of it I knew I had celebrated Mass. I don’t remember why I knew that. Perhaps it [...]

I’ve realized I have a hard time understanding people who don’t seek to be an active part of church. I don’t mean agnostics, atheists, lapsed anythings, and people who otherwise have little to no desire to be part of a church. I mean people who actually attend church. People for whom church is important enough [...]

Update on my abdomen: Next non-medically trained person who tells me to lay off on the pain pills will get shanked. [And then in a week we'll see how they feel but still tell them to lay off the pain pills.] I’m trying to get offa’them (down from three to two a day: one at [...]
