Wednesday Musings

By Joe

My office work week is officially halfway over—two down, two to go. This morning should be a busy one with a few school groups visiting the museum. If I didn’t have tours scheduled, I might have been tempted to crawl back into bed for a few extra hours of rest.

Yesterday’s migraine really took it out of me. I fell asleep around 8 p.m., woke up briefly at 9:30 to get ready for bed and take my nightly medicine, then slept straight through until 5 a.m. Isabella tried to rouse me earlier, but it was halfhearted. She seems to know when I truly need the sleep. This morning she was patient and let me wake up on my own—such a sweet girl most of the time, even if she can be a bit impatient and demanding. She’s a cat, after all.

Well, that’s about all I have for today. Here’s hoping the rest of the week goes smoothly!

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
