I wish I could go back to bed and just sleep through today. I’m just tired today, but thankfully, tomorrow will be a working from home Friday, and I can sleep late if I want. However, today, I have work that needs to be done, and there’s no rest for the weary. I wish I could be a cat and just sleep the day away like Isabella does. In this Isabella pic of the week, I’m getting the side eye from Isabella for disturbing her even though all I did was take a picture.
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.

I’m in battle with a sinus infection and did spend most of yesterday in bed…certainly not enjoying anyone, much less him!
