I am CuTRis

The mayor of Minneapolis made a joke the other day about those of us working from home turning into "losers." For the life of me, I am not seeing anything except "win" about my situation of working from home! I don't have to pay parking to work downtown, I don't have to pay extra money for gasoline, which is not only good for my bank account, but it's good for the environment too. I also have more time for my family, more personal time, and that lack of sitting in traffic means my stress level is not as high. If all of these things make me a loser, then so be it! I'm very happy.

The quiet of the morning The trauma in the mind The storm without warning I search but do not find The grass has gotten greener Life has complicated The world has gotten meaner As I anticipated I run for the cover Of a piece of wilderness My refuge to recover From the things I sorely miss I emerge from that cocoon With new resolve and shtick I howl up at the Moon And pull off an ugly tick -Kevin J Curtis 20220513

My wife signed up for a bathroom remodeling appointment at the county fair, and then left me during the high pressure sales pitch, to go run errands. She doesn't seem to understand why I'm upset. I guess I need to try harder. This was after she organized a playdate for our son and then disappeared to work on something in the garage all day. And my dad fell again... So yes, I'm feeling stressed!
