aboot me
i added an “About” to the tumblr in case anyone wants to know the “abstract” that is tm oleary. lol! but anyway, now, Now i am quite wired. idk even know what time it is but i am p sure it is after 10PM CST. there is no clock to speak of on the RPi bc this device has a very, Very, VERY strange way of in-putting the time (setting the clock). i always have to Google “what time is it?” like a friggin' asshole anytime i wanna know what time it is.
holy fuck, do i ever need to take out the trash! it has really piled up quickly over two days & i have no idea how that happened. i will take it out tomorrow (i didn't today bc it rained all day). i will take care of that before i go to see dad in the hospital. no one knows how much longer he is going to be in there. a bit longer, i think. he is doing well though :)
no classes until next Wednesday BLAH. i am going to try to prevent boredom by reading the books i checked out. i am determined to finish one or the other BEFORE they are due back. I really should have checked them out for different times instead of having them both due back at the same time. foolish.
be back in a bit!
i at least need to find something to write about
i can't just sit here for the time being bc i have a lot of caffeine in my system and i hate when i just....sit here. lol.
i mean don't get me wrong, i had a plenty productive day what w/ the Lesson 4 + the activity + ,,,,well, that was about all i did. LMAO! But anyway...
I am going to make coffee after this Monster bc that always gets me energized (wired) to get some writing done in one fashion or another. anything to combat boredom.
be back in a bit!
hello all
i just had a nap so i expect to be awake most of the night. nbd. so long as i am awake to go to the hospital tomorrow to visit dad. idk what time.
i am going to read some more of The Federalist Papers later. i didn't get any book reading in today bec i was 1) doing the Lesson 4 coursework/assignment & 2)reading longreads on the internet. Both were a little lame (both longreads, that is).
anyway, be back in a bit!
so all is well from a technical perspective here
no duplicates on tumblr, lniks to twitter as well. #yay
Anyway, yeah.
be back in a bit!
testing cross-posting
#fingerscrossed no duplicates! lol
i hope this doesn't spam post (on Tumblr)
write.as was having an issue where when i would link this blog to my Tumblr, and hit Send, it would post the same blog post (from here) 9-10 times on Tumblr. it was incredibly annoying. i hope i do not have that issue w/ this blog post and future blog posts.
be back in a bit!
class day tomorrow
going to see the dad on Saturday
reading more of The Federalist Papers tomorrow afternoon, too
i also applied for a loan forgiveness program that i more than qualify for and hope to get the ball rolling on that ASAP (i have to mail something off) nbd
if that gets discharged, i can get enroll next semester at STLCC. Dunno what class(es) i'll take but it will only be two bc that will be the Summer 18 semester.
Moving up
April 20th-ish is when i will finish Writing Research Methodologies and get my certificate. Yay!
Doc appt on Monday & everything stays the same from a med perspective.
Some money might be free'd up for next month, but idk
i also pay less on my rent bc i have a credit on there (a big one)
anyway, be back in a bit!
made it to SLCL
i am sitting here drinking some of the boldest coffee i have had in a long time after a killer 2+ hour nap that was preceeded w/ a walk to SLCL where i checked out The Federalist Papers & A Brief History of Thought. I am on pay 100 (just about) in ABHOT that i left off at the last time i had it checked out and when i start it up again, I will be on the chapter “Humanism And The Birth Of Modern Philosophy”. As for now, it is TFP where i am on the second part of Alexander Hamilton where he is giving a series of speeches in New York State and at this point he is simply telling people to adopt the New Constitution & how fragmented the 13 States would be if they were divided up into a Confederacy (hence, why we live in a Federalist System as of now, 2018). A good book if you like U.S. history, for sure. I am enjoying it. I have until April 5 to finish both books but i am thinking i will get an extension on ABHOT bc that is being read straight-after TFP
anyway, be back in a bit!
good morning
i just made the boldest cuppa Joe i have had in a month & i have been awake all night so to say that i will have an “interesting” (weird) morning is an understatement. The plan for this AM is to get my laundry done before 9 AM so i can walk straight to SLCL when it opens & pick up THe Federalist Papers. Also will have a little look around the facilities, too. May find something cool.
anyway, back to the coffee
books, etc
I was sitting here after finishing Lesson 3 in the Writers Research Methodologies coursework when, for some reason, my mind drifted to the book “The Art Of War” by Sun Tzu (as i want to buy a copy to own after having read it last year & immensely enjoying it). I will buy a copy soon, but after looking around on the internet & Wikipedia, i fell once again on the Carl von Clausewitz book “On War” (which is p highly regarded amongst many military commanders even to this day (it was written, or at least completed, in 1832). I decided to add it to my Amazon wish list because for some reason the SLCL doesn't seem to have it anywhere in their system/catalog. The copy i am going to buy is 500+ pages, all volumes, that i will more than likely slowly chip away at (unless it totally captivates me). But as far as the near future, i am going to be picking up The Federalist Papers tomorrow from SLCL bc it is another book that i have wanted to read for quite some time.
Also tomorrow (besides laundry), i am going to call Dad first thing in the morning and see how he is doing. I am sure he is in “good spirits” but i want to hear from him first-hand if he is ACTUALLY feeling better after having two surgeries in ONE week. And as far as when he is going to get to leave the hospital, i have no idea. He (like most people) tends to get in a “hospital haze” where you lose track of days and events, etc. I am sure he will be back soon enough.
