Work, Work, Work

How is it possible that it is only Wednesday? Monday dragged on, and while Tuesday went by fairly quickly, I was busy all day. This week has felt like it is dragging very slowly, like Friday is an eternity away. Yesterday did not feel like a Tuesday at all, and now I have to face Wednesday. I was hunched over my computer all day  at work yesterday (obviously with clothes on and not like the model above) preparing for a class, and though I got up a few times for this or that, I felt absolutely exhausted by the time I got home. It was one of those tirednesses that take over your whole body. By the time I got inside my apartment, my body was screaming to get out of my work clothes and lay down and not ever move again. Obviously, I did move again because I eventually had to heat up my dinner. It wasn’t really any better last night when I went to bed or, for that matter, this morning when I woke up. I have a busy day of stuff today as well.  Maybe today will fly by quickly. Then, I’ll do it all again tomorrow.

If only I were independently wealthy, then I could be on a warm beach somewhere, or if I had to be somewhere cold, a nice chalet in the Alps. Maybe I’d be in an apartment in Florence overlooking a piazza or in Venice looking out the window overlooking the Grand Canal. Whatever it would be, I’d be enjoying a good book and putting all my worries aside, at least for a little while. I guy can dream, can’t he?

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

    When I was working the way I got through the week was to assign something special to every day: Wednesdays are just two days away from Friday and then the weekend!!!!!!

    Thank you for showing my photo. I’ve got muscles all over and a very hot ass. I’d bare what’s up front but the gods would shudder and create lots of thunder.

    I used to love each day at work not withstanding an hour of commuting into the historic part of the City of London. From my window I could see St Bride’s church, designed by Sir Christopher Wren complete with its famous tiered tower which, allegedly, became the model of many a wedding cake. The garden was a haven for lunchtime.

    Inside there is a shrine to the many journalists who were killed in their reporting duties (it lies off Fleet Street which used to be the heart of the national newspapers).
