It’s so fun watching these kids grow up. While kids of my own might still be a possibility, “Uncle Jeff/Jedg” is okay too. Love my niece and nephew to the moon and back.
My nephew is such a happy little guy.
Summers of ‘04-’06 bring back some good memories.
What the fuck? -broadly gestures at everything-
Uncle life. It’s funny watching my niece grow up and develop her personality. She’s a goofball.
I wish I could see my nephew but now we wait while the court system sorts out how two people who just weren’t meant for each other are going to raise a child. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for these little humans.
I’m not much a fan of being in front of a lens nor taking mirror selfies, however, this is is an exception. I’ve lost about 40lbs. overall in the last year or so. My goal is to hit 210 by the end of the year, which is totally attainable.
This hasn’t been quick or easy and I’ve had times where I eat crap and then have to lose the weight I gained. I still have progress to make but I’ll take this win for the moment.
My house is slowly turning into a home. There’s still this sort of empty feeling to it though.
I’ve spent the last 5 years avoiding dating like the plague but I’m putting myself back out there. I will say the dating process, especially in our day and age, is the worst.
Well, here’s to hoping I don’t get any more calls from work about building issues so I get a couple hours of rest.
45 minutes was all it took for you to no longer be here on Earth. Last Wednesday around 10AM, I got texts from my mom and aunt saying that my grandma had an episode this morning and she wasn’t doing too well. While I debated what I was going to tell work, I started getting my stuff together for the trip out to CA. At 10:45AM, the family group chat was informed that ‘Bama’ was no longer with us. I threw my bags together, picked up my mom, and headed west to CA. It was a few rough days before getting back home earlier tonight.
Bama, I hope you’re finally at peace. You made my childhood so fulfilling and I’m thankful I got to take a month off work in the 05-06 summers to spend time with you guys. I will forever appreciate everything you’ve done for me.
Until we meet again..
Been rather absent lately. Between work stress, house stuff, turning 30 midlife crisis, and the state of everything as a whole.
Some days I feel inadequate. A bad grandson. Son. Brother. Nephew. Friend. Manager. Others I don’t. I’m trying to be a better person. Some days I’m just so tired of the weight of the world. Just getting that off my chest. No ominous meaning behind it. I live alone and don’t want to burden friends with further negativity.
Maybe it’s time for a dog to run some ideas past. (Love Bill Burr’s bit about his dog, hilarious).
