The New Normal Sucks (last part)

So I told you about one thing that I hate about the ‘new normal’. Another thing that pisses me off about it has been bothering me from the beginning: how our lameass masks make it impossible to smile at people. I smile at strangers because you never know when someone’s having a really bad day … Continue reading The New Normal Sucks (last part) →

The New Normal Sucks (part 1)

Ok, so we keep hearing about the ‘new normal’ and how this is the way things are gonna be for a while. I, for one, was hoping that we’d be back to the ‘old normal’ (that’s the normal normal lol) by now, but that clearly ain’t happening. If we ever get back to shaking hands, … Continue reading The New Normal Sucks (part 1) →

Lucas Leaves for College

Getting to Middle Tennessee State from Maryville is a 3 hour drive, and I was able to jam everything I was going to … Continue reading Lucas Leaves for College →

The Amazon Patrol

Keaton’s still driving his Amazon truck four days a week, and he hasn’t told them to take their job and shove it. At least not yet lol. Besides, he says the money’s ok…which is more than we can say about my unemployment now that it’s gone down by $600 a week. Yeah…I’m one of the … Continue reading The Amazon Patrol →
