Gallows' End Tavern

It’s been a long time, I hope everyone has been well. Just wanted to wish people happy holidays, first off.

I’ve been busy getting back to my old line of work & going back to to college, finishing another B.S. & a different graduate degree at the same time. Been having a great time between work and my educational responsibilities. Started teaching part time at another college for I.T. classes. 

Have a great holiday season everyone, I’m still around just very busy & thank you to those who reached out to me.

As I’m going through the store I found this display of Easter squishy guys. I got myself the black poodle, I had a standard poodle from since I was a little kid all the way till a few years ago when my last one passed. As I’m there looking like a fat kid a ton of Easter candy in one hand this squish in the other & a plush yoda whatever they call that mini one guy Easter basket to put all the candy in this girl comes up and starts talking to me like she knows me. I was so utterly confused ? turns out I guess we went to school together. I had no idea. I’ve had memory issues since the war & injury, the desert one not the current in the Ukraine.  You know it’s bad when someone ask if all the candy is for your family too, I stood there & just went what family lol ?.

Right now, feeling this one. I met someone & I’m not sure what to do with her, I’m not even sure if I want a relationship or dynamic of any type for the next few years at this point. Hmm ?, “FIGURE IT OUT, MAKE THINGS WORK, STAY POSITIVE.”  OUTSTANDING.” Shit sarge would say to live by. 

Today’s thoughts 

Have happy holidays & happy memories.  Happier than last year memories. 

Introduction, one after another after another tonight, I catch myself in a memory…

As I sit here looking where past family & friends used to sit in times of celebration & joy, sharing steak & burgers off the grill or pasta I cooked, just a meal or snack. I take solace being alone this year, as my memories of the past are full of faces I can’t wait to see again some people in life, but more who’ve passed. I picked up a ham this year because turkey would go to waste with me.  Take thanks in who & what you’ve got when you have them, sometimes it’s only in dreams you’re spending the holidays with them. Happy Thanksgiving all. 

Well this happened…
