More cattle stuff
Having accumulated 30 plus hours of ranch hand experience since my last post, thought I would up date ya’ll. The list of things I have learned now includes Bulls are just as stubborn as calves and cows, just bigger. Even during ‘mud season’, there simply is no such thing as just mud in a grazing…

So, this is a cattle ranch
Today was the first day I worked on a cattle ranch. No, I did not get to ride a horse. That made me sad. I very much want to learn to ride so I can feel more comfortable wearing my four year old Stetson. I am going to start with a list of things I…

I am seriously full of shit.
Let me first say, I am drinking low-cost bourbon. On the rocks with a bit of water. That alone should tell you something. I am pretty much a fuck up. At my age (56 and 5 months) one should not be in debt up to their assholes with one EE Savings bond to rely on. …

All that oxygen.
I recently experienced the 56 anniversary of my birth. Nearly 57 years of requiring O2. I realize there is nothing special about this as, any of you reading this have been doing the same since your conception. What has come to mind today is: have I earned the O2 I have consumed in comparison to…

Checking in.
I have been absent for some time. Many years ago I wrote to help me vent, clear my skeletons from the dark mental closet I had so carefully and meticulously built. I wrote about my mental illness. My alcohol abuse. My efforts to deal with those things. I wrote about day to day life. My…

One of THOSE days
This will most likely be the last thing I write in my “40’s”. I may consume too much wine and spoil some space on Facebook but as for real writing, this is going to be it. I can recall how much I loved saying ‘I’m Forty”! I liked saying that so much I started to…

Part Two
I am sorry it has taken so long to get around to part two of the insanity adventure. I needed some time to get an angle on it. How to tell the story without telling too much. What can I, should I share and what not. I am motivated to finish it now after just…

30 hours in a fishbowl
“There are enough red flags on your chart for me to want to put a hold on you”. This came after a two-minute interview with a mental health professional tasked with triaging ER psych admits. What to do with the afflicted. Two minutes. I watched her walk around for another hour. I asked sever times…
