I'm going to cut out the bullshit and my usual opening blurb today and start by thanking Missus for inspiring me to write about a difficult topic. As my usual readers will know, last Thursday marked the twelfth anniversary of the loss of my unborn son. A difficult day to put it mildly as I remember the loss of both my children on that date. This ( Read more... )

'Lo guys and babydolls! Hard as it might be to believe I'm actually struggling to find words to get me started tonight. Much of the reasoning for that is because of what day it is. I can't quite wrap my own head around the fact that today marks twelve years since I miscarried my son. As always this is the worst day of the entire year and one that ( Read more... )

What's this you say? A second journal entry in as many days? It's an Easter miracle! But no, not so, for I am hardly as pure as Jesus H. Christ (and incidentally what does the H stand for? I wonder if it's short for holy, hmmmm) nor would I want to be. I can't imagine Jesus on his days off from preaching to the masses sitting in a mud hut and ( Read more... )

Evening all! I hope you don't mind if I skip my customary preamble and get right down to the nitty gritty tonight. Frankly I'm in no mood for levity and just want to get this out of the way.

The bloody silly season is fast approaching and I am no more looking forward to it than I normally do. Despite my repeated pleas to leave it alone my mother ( Read more... )

Beunos tardes mis amigos. Depending on where you are in the world I hope that the weather is more favourable than it is here in Kate land. We've got a good five inches of snow outside and while I can not deny that it is is very pretty indeed, logistically it is a pain in the arse. I'm hoping fervently that it will clear up before much longer but ( Read more... )

Well, guten Abend meine kleinen Leber-Klösse, and how are we doing tonight? Hope you are all well and good and avoiding any unpleasant seasonal lurgies that might be lying in wait during this frightfully cold weather. So far I have managed to stave off any such bugs, but let's be honest with everything else that's wrong with me the least God can do ( Read more... )

Howdy howdy boys and girls. I just want to say first of all thank you for anyone who managed to read their way through my last journal entry. I know that it was pretty hard going and I appreciate you taking the time to wade through my emotional crap. Funnily enough I saw a news report today that sort of fits in with part of that journal.

For anyone ( Read more... )

Hi everyone. I think it's only fair to give you warning that this is going to be quite heavy going tonight. No joviality, no mirth, and zero cheer. The most you'll probably get out of me is some very dark, at times sardonic, humor which you'll understand once I get to the topic at hand.
 Over the last few months (if not longer) I have been reading ( Read more... )
