My bowling league had its end of season banquet tonight. I won one of the door prizes - a 1L bottle of Don Q rum. I’m an alcoholic, so… the $25 gift card to Store X would’ve been better.
 
Getting ready for a trip on Sunday. My dog just saw my carry on and she’s sad. I usually try to hide bags from her because she knows.
 
Can you throw out pillows in the trash? I bought new pillows for my mom’s second bedroom where I sleep when I stay with her. She had three My Pillows and they’re just awful. I haven’t brought the old ones to the dumpster yet in case I need to do something else with them.
 
I wrote this in the morning.

It's Mother's Day. All y'all know I lost my Mom in 2010 and life can be hard without her. But in her absence, I'm learning how to handle life and grow into myself.
For those I call Mama Bear, I'm not going to promise the world, but I can promise:

To not let my feelings ride on what other people think of me.

To take everything one day at a time. Because that's how days work: one at a f-cking time.

To remember "there's food at home" isn't so much a vibe killer, but a reminder to be a better steward of my resources.

To remember "all the other kids are going" isn't a good reason for going.

To remember cleaning doesn't have to be hard or difficult, especially if I do a little bit every day.

To remember sleep and good food are the two best cures for anything.

To remember there is almost nothing better than sitting at home with no bra, no makeup, covered in Dorito dust, and a cat on my lap.

To remember it's not all bad. I am alive.

To remember to drink some water.

To remember the only way out is through. I got this.

And to remember asking for help isn't giving up. It's refusing to give up.
 
Just saw a black bear for the first time in my life maybe. Certainly never in the wild.

we were driving up to my wife's parents' place and it was maybe 200 feet off the side of the road. They're large and yet somehow smaller than I expected. Still glad we were in a car.

I’ve had to go to the Hayward area of Wisconsin a number of times in the past seven years even though once was enough. With that said, you have a good chance of seeing black bears in the wild driving from the MSP area to there. In one drive I saw two on the side of the road. On that same trip, I came across another as it blocked the road just east of Hayward. Another trip, three years ago, we had a mama bear and two cubs come rummaging through the cabin’s garbage bins about 20 minutes after we arrived. Normally, I’m more concerned with avoid the whitetails than the black bears.
