Surgery tomorrow

Street Art: “Picturesoteric” by Sirron Norris
So I was heading home today from a couple of pre-surgery errands. (Yes, I know, I have friends who will run errands for me right now… but I wanted the exercise and the outside time, especially since I have a stretch of house-bound boredom and cabin-fever ahead of me.)

Wow, wow, wow — and thanks

Grief Diary, 10/12/12
10/12/12 The thing I’ve been having a hard time with in the last couple of days: The fact that grief feels horrible — and there’s pretty much nothing I can do about it. I’m very used to tackling my problems. I’m used to trying to fix the bad things in my life, or at least …

Richard Hermann Muelder, 1933-2012
My father died on October 1, 2012, at the age of 79. My dad, like me, was an atheist. And when you’re an atheist and a non-believer, and the people you love die, you don’t get to tell yourself that they aren’t really dead. You don’t get to tell yourself that you’re going to see …

National Coming Out Day
Today is National Coming Out Day. So: I’m bisexual. I’m an atheist. I’m kinky. I suffer from situational depression. I think y’all already knew all that. But just in case.

Grief Diary, 10/10/12
10/10/12 A better day today. Took yesterday off from, you know, pretty much everything.
