  Was today typical? “Was Today Typical? I Showed Up Anyway.” This morning, I didn’t want to go to work. Not because of fear… but because the peace I’ve been working so hard to protect didn’t want to be disturbed. But I went anyway. Was today typical? I guess that depends on how you define typical.…

  65 and Counting… and Restless It felt like a long day at work. Yes, I was bored. Now I’m home, and somehow time feels like it’s dragging in slow motion.
