Free Friday

I am using up one of my vacation days today and had hoped to sleep a bit later than usual. Isabella had a different agenda and, as usual, woke me up at an ungodly hour to feed her. I always have the intention of feeding her and going back to bed, but it rarely works out that way. Luckily, since I have the day off I can take a nap later if I want to.

I have a couple of small errands to run today and a few things to do around my apartment, but otherwise, I plan to either read or write. I’ve had a story developing in my head and I want to “put pen to paper” as the saying goes. It’s more a fun exercise for me than anything else, and I’m enjoying it: the research, the character development, and creating a story.

Anyway, I plan to do some reading, though I also have some grading that needs to be done before grades are due Tuesday. It is highly likely that at some point I’ll be like the guy in the picture:asleep on my bed with the book I was reading by my side.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

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

    Well, I got some very good news about my pancreas! My testing is stable and now rather than every six months I only need to go once a year…And I have all the details for Thursday’s bone surgery….
