At the end of this month my ex-inlaws are driving down from Canada to visit with Celeste and Jess. They are staying for 10 days and, of course, they want to see Celeste as much as possible which means, ideally, all 10 days. This is understandable and wonderful and all of those other good words. [...]

(this is just random crap. every paragraph is a new topic. skimming may suit you best, here)
I have Friday off and I have Celeste all day. Weekends are the best when I have her. This coming weekend is now 50% longer than an average weekend. It's like a sweet little unexpected present.
I have awesome plans [...]

I'm playing that game again where I load a revolver haphazardly with all the different things that might make me feel better and then pull the trigger as fast as I can until I do. Food, drugs, sex, music, sleep, exercise, anything! I just load it up with different combinations and go.
Sometimes it works. Not [...]

Something tells me I should just keep writing, even if I don't really have anything to say. So, I'll keep it up until either I get bored or you all do.
Today is Sunday which, at least here in North America, means "church day" for a lot of people.
Yesterday I wrote this:

Proximity is a determining factor in any relationship. Depending on those involved the effects can be different, but it always matters. The great big Internet is supposed to bring us all closer and make us all local, and it does, to some degree. But in all the ways that it makes the world smaller, it [...]

It's a constant state of confusion in here. In thought I go from one extreme to another and it's often hard to sort out what's left in the end. Sometimes, what I need is a final answer.
I'm making tea and I step on "The Foot Book" and think, I should clear this clutter. I'm checking [...]

Late Saturday morning, Celeste and I are going to IKEA. Come with us! I'm getting a few things for Celeste, maybe a bed for me, and a few things for the house. IKEA is just fun. Especially when it's crowded on a weekend. Well do some shopping, have lunch, and come home in time for [...]

The more I think about it the more I believe that being a landlord is going to be an absolute nightmare for me.
There is a big difference between buying and renting property for fun and profit, and renting a piece of property simply because you have no other way to get rid of it. The [...]

(All of the input you guys are providing is really helping me to weigh this out and really see all the PROs and CONs. Thank you all, again and again. You are awesome.)
It seems that the two biggest CONs to moving are:
1. Living in an apartment
2. Being a landlord
Since I've worked out most of what [...]

My family rarely bothers to tell me about anything until it's too late. So, if I can't make it I don't feel bad. Or rather, I do, but I know I don't deserve to and am trying to talk myself out of it.
But, regardless of all that, I'd like to see my brother if he's [...]
