 is the mind," - sle.  How do I get back to writing?  Been watching episodes on great empires.  Can't keep from thinking about the ancient civilizations.  Finished with school stuff, though I do have a meeting Tuesday on the internet to help with the new textbook changes we are making.  Not so much the ebook, but all the resources that come with it.  Anyway, hopefully, it will be easier for me and the students.  Having to look into changing some stuff for next semester.  LMS's like Canvas are fine, but they keep changing the stuff and not always for the better or simple stuff that should be done isn't.  And they really don't inform people about the changes.  Oh, well.  Use to it by now.  Writing on my laptop, but think I do prefer my tablet.  Have to work out a system for starting back writing and finishing some stuff.  Should get onto Twitter some and work with it, but just can't get enthused about it or anythin...

you're ignorant," - sle.  Has been awhile, about 11 days, since I last wrote.  School and other stuff but, mainly, just trying to reduce stress while dealing with school stuff.  Finished with school this semester except keeping up with the spring schedule some.  Did work on my worksheet for my paystubs for the year.  Out a few dollars but don't know if it my input or the system.  Not the way things are today.  Not enough to worry about but knowing me, will deal with later.  Another reason for no writing, is that, I know no one reads my stuff so what is the big rush.  Plus, I do repeat a lot.  Am thinking about finishing my Kindle Vella stories and, then, put together a book.  Will see.  Basically, waiting for the end of the year.  Next year, will begin a new path.  Will try to be patient and make it a smooth transition and, hopefully, a right one.  Can't help Sweet Pea.  Her mom is arrogant, self-centered, a...

 the past, and the present," - sle.  Got exams ready.  One went to the Testing Center.  That went well.  So far, a nice day.  Sweet Pea.  She was something else last night.  Playing with Rosie on the bed.  With Chance a little, but mostly Rosie, twerking on Sweet Pea's leg.  Rosie is so bad.  Watched series on the Ottoman Empire in its conquest of Constantinople, by Mehmed the Conqueror.  It was six episodes.  Interesting.  Never thought of nor read much about the Ottoman Empire.  Little about it in WWI, at its decline.  Been a couple of days of non-writing, I think.  Lost track of time.  Have gotten away from writing every day.  Watching end of The Gray Man.  Did discover yesterday what I hate the most in the world: ignorance.  The trash and her are both hung up on people thinking they are stupid.  I realized they ain't stupid, they are ignorant.  There is a diffference....

live within us," - sle.   Busy with school stuff and getting things done.  Guess have given up on the property and trying to keep it for Penelope.  I want it for myself is what I am being told.  So many people today lack feelings, caring, and anything spiritual.  I always wanted to be cold and feeling-less, but have grown to really appreciate having feelings and spirit.  Those demons may have been the things that saved me.  Fighting them, myself, and keeping away from the temptations of the 'Devil', battling him, I stayed out of harms way until I was ready to be 'myself'.  Lost some years there, but hopefully, have a few left.  My belly pouch is getting smaller and I can see abs.  Am feeling so much better.  Time to check up on emails and news.  Last day of classes for the semester.  Don't like the final exam being in the evening this coming Monday, but it is what it is.  The blender and morning drinks are working out...

how strong can faith be in others?" - sle.  The beginning of this title came to me as driving to get some 'hot' chocolate the other day.  Went and got some yesterday, too, enjoyed but come have been better.  Sweet Pea, she is the most wonderful.  Finished writing up my last attempt to keep the property and home.  Don't have much hope in it.  Oh, I do have another option, but?  Next new year will be something else.  Tomorrow, maybe the renaissance festival.  May have to check into a dictionary for blogger, haha.  Kinda anticipating getting out on my own.  Will never understand people.  Games they play.  Trying to keep the roof over everyone's head here and had to fight not only the mortgage company but, also, the arrogant ones here.  Instead of trying to help me, all they considered was how to steal from me and make things difficult.  I understand him, he just wants in her pants and to control things.  He has...

justify the past," - sle.  JFK: The Smokine Gun.  Am watching 'And Justice For All' with Al Pacino.  Love Al Pacino, except for that Scarface thing.  Yesterday was a 'hot chocolate' day.  Enjoyed myself.  Wasn't as bad as I planned, hehe.  JFK: The Smoking Gun says the President's shooting was accidental because the Secret Service guy fell backwards in the car.  I think it proves it may have been intentional.  Don't think they investigated that point enough.  Saw a documentary about destroyers.  Reminded me of Hoot.  He was in the engine room of one during WWII.  Have a picture of it but can't remember the name of the destroyer.  Think I have a photo somewhere.  Working on finishing up a letter to finalize things here on getting title to the property and home.  Don't think will work out so early next year will be leaving.  Hoping to have a peaceful Thanksgiving but ain't working out that way.  The ...

is ignorance," - sle.  I will be a day ahead now.  Fate, Chance, Luck was yesterday.  Later.  Well, the next day has come.  Nice morning.  Sweet Pea is off school this week.  She came and played with Chance in the bed while I was under the covers telling Chance to behave.  Toe is still not completely healed.  Ugh.  But seems to be getting there.  Sweet Pea has such a nice home here.  She mentioned about going to California for Christmas.  Her dad is going to take her to see snow.  She thinks it will be her first time with snow, but she saw and played in snow here.  Build a little snowman with her.  She had fun, but it was awhile back.  Seeing the reality of everything so clearly now.  Seems like it was always so blurry but now so clear.  Guess those feelings, spirits, demons, whatever were clouding my vision.  There is a slight chance I can save the place, but don't have much hope that wi...
