    the quick recap of the past two weeks

    The last update here was a couple weeks ago right before I moved to a new apartment. Time has flown as usual. March has arrived. The cold is leaving, and the Spring transition is in progress.
    On February 19th, Mary and I officially moved into our new apartment. Moving was physically taxing, but we managed to [...]

    the trouble with misplacing your keys

    Before I go to bed during the work week, I go through a mental checklist to make sure that everything is in its right place when I wake up and get ready for work in the morning. The checklist is pretty typical to most people employed full-time and includes:

    setting the alarm clock (two in my [...]

    the nesesary audioverload + the wurkweek rootene

    My schedule during the weekdays have been very routine for the past several months now. I try to be in bed by 11pm each night and asleep before midnight. I first wake up in the morning when the first alarm goes off on my cell at 5:16am. Three more alarms at 5:47am, 5:57am and 6:05am [...]

    the 5-4-3-2-1’s

    I haven’t updated you guys with what’s been going on with me for a while, so here’s that post.

    To drown out these perpetual sounds, [...]

    the return to the working world

    Last Monday, I started my new job. The shift starts at 5am and ends at 1pm. When I drive to work, night still covers the sky. When I’m off, it’s daytime. I wake up around 4:15-4:25am to get ready for work. My commute is less than ten minutes. I had to adjust my sleep schedule [...]

    the next day follow-up to the job hunt continues

    I rose out of bed about 6:40 this morning. I ate some bread, drank some water, showered, dressed, left the apartment about 7:15, and drove to the place I told I would deliver for during the Valentine’s Day holiday rush.
    At 8:00, the ten of us that showed up filled out some information, had a brief [...]
