Not Quite Ready

By Joe

Another work week is beginning, and if I’m being honest, I’m not quite ready for it yet. Monday is here, though, and work is waiting. Thankfully, today is a meeting-free day. The rest of the week is packed.

At the moment, I’d much rather stay curled up on the couch or crawl back into bed, but neither of those is going to happen. Hopefully, once the coffee kicks in and a hot shower wakes me up, I’ll be ready to face the day.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

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
