Hey.  First, I wanted correct a hilarious error in the last post.  It was 3 grams, not 3 ounces.  3 grams, as it turns out, is enough.

It went like this.  I took the day off of work I thought a little bit about how to consume the mushrooms, and considered grinding them up and putting them in gel caps, but ultimately I decided to just shove them in ( Read more... )

It's me again.  I really treasure this LJ.  I love that I have so many years of embarrassing musings from a younger me.  Since last time, I actually left my job at Accelerate Diagnostics.  Things ended badly there for me, unfortunately.  I found myself in a position where I was turning down a $30k promotion because it got that bad.  It was a really ( Read more... )

Hey LJ.  I think I will post a lengthy update soon, because--like usual--a lot of time has passed.  The quick update here is that I recently got a promotion at work.  Suddenly my title has changed from my dream job of "Systems Administrator" to "Systems Engineer."  This is not a big deal, generally speaking.  I just kind of don't like it.  I have ( Read more... )

Just to follow up on the previous entry from 2018... the girl who we--probably foolishly--let into our house has very unfortunately passed.  What a tragic waste of a life.  I see her Dad's face in my head sometimes and the despair he had in his eyes when he stopped by the day after the incident.

I've got a lot I'd like to say about myself and my ( Read more... )

So here's a crazy thing that just happened.  A couple hours ago me and Meghan are sitting on the couch watching TV and she says "I think somebody just walked past our window.  I think they're standing at the front door right now."  I told her it was probably just a reflection, but I got up and told her I'd check it out.  The front door has a small ( Read more... )

Hello, LJ.  I seem to have this funny habit of reading all of my old LJ posts every few years and then updating it.  Last time, I said something about "see you in 2016."   I guess I'm a year late.

I've just finished taking Scotty potty at his regularly scheduled 9:30pm bathroom visit, and thinking a lot about "Old Scott."  I sure seemed to have ( Read more... )

Hello, LJ.  I'll be 31 tomorrow (in 15 minutes).  Baby #2 is alived and well, and nearly a year old.  I named him after me, because I'm a Jr--and I figure, why have a Jr if you're not going to have a 3rd?  Last year was actually extremely busy for us.  On top of having another baby, we also moved.  We had previously bought a house in another town ( Read more... )

Time for my extremely rare--and getting rarer--LJ update!  Guess what, LJ?  Baby #2 is ON THE WAY!  We just had our first visit to the doc who confirmed that there is, in fact, a baby in there and Meghan isn't just getting fat.  That's a joke.  I have to put that there because she got a hold of my LJ one time and was not very happy with what she ( Read more... )

WE'RE HAVING A BABY!  Meghan doesn't want me to tell anybody yet, but nobody reads this so I figure I've got a loop hole!  Congratulations, LJ, you're the first person I've told!  Meghan only told me today.  I came home from work and we chatted for a bit.  She asked me if I could look at the oven because the heating element wasn't turning on.  I  ( Read more... )

It's the big day.  We're actually buying our house tomorrow and getting the key.  We're too excited to sleep.
