The Closing of the Tabs

By -
There will come a day very soon where I will be able to delete all emails pertaining to job searches. I will be delighted to place that check mark in all those boxes on gmail, yahoo, and whatever else. I will be delighted to close all those tabs of websites offering up their wears, their various and sundry. Oh to have a day where my web browser has only 4 of 5 open tabs.  The day where the other web browser has 7 or 8 will be grand. The day where I might not have to go back to firefox over safari or chrome because this web browser cannot handle this web service or web content or pop-up or whatever else is keeping progress from unfolding, that day will be grand. How joyous the day will be to be free to wander about the world wide web without that particular intent. Yes, I will be glad.

Good Bones

The winter storm has began to take a hold of the city and its people. I wrapped up some last minute errands yesterday including picking up a prescription  from the pharmacy located near the place I grew up. On my drive home I decide to drive by our now vacant lot on the street I spent my childhood. Nearly 18 years I spent on that block. The street behind where our house stood was an old 3 story craftsman house that was vacant most all the time. When me and my siblings were pre-teens and young teens, we would go into this house and explore it. It sat on the corner of 13th and Bosque Blvd. It was quite a wonder. It had a laundry shoot that went from the 3rd floor to the 1st. It had wide hallways and tall ceilings. It was just a joy to walk around and look up, down and around this place. Yesterday I drove by and the house was raised. How sad it made me feel. I didn't get to see the inside just one more time. I had not the chance to gaze upon its majesty not one more time. I asked my s...

Moderna Shot part 2

By -
Thursday the administration of the 2nd covid shot was executed upon my arm. I felt fine enough to come home and mow the yard. As the day went on I was good. I slept fine, I think. Friday I was groggy and my head was filled full of air and water. I couldn't move without my brain swimming about. That lasted all Friday. Later in the mid morning of Friday I took some over the counter Naproxen and got under the covers. I just lost lots of energy. I had upper body and arm chills. I stayed under the covers all day. I only got up to go potty or turn the outside lights on. I was fatigued. Today I am much better. No light headedness has persisted. The chills have waned. I wanted to get up. I showered. I am getting dressed here soon. I feel like things are getting back on track. However, a few weeks after the first shot I lost the use my left leg a bit. I could walk, but I could not fully engage the groin muscle. I had to lift my leg into bed and out of bed. I had to struggle to drive my stic...
