Why am I doing this, and how long have I been doing it?<\/i><br \/>\nThis is year eight.  Why am I doing it?

I was unemployed, poor, and trying to decide where to go next.  Thankfully, I was able to find work, albeit not what I was hoping for.<br \/>\nBut it pays the bills.  Sorta.<br \/>\nThings really got knocked askew in May, when we were forced to move out of the place where I&#8217;d been living since 2007.<br \/>\nThe new place is considerably smaller, but it&#8217;s also a lot more expensive.  I don&#8217;t know that we&#8217;ll be staying terribly long.<br \/>\nI admit that I&#8217;ve not really put out my prompts for the month.  I do have some of the ideas my wife helped me put together stashed aside.  I also have some birthdays I&#8217;ll write about.  <strike>Armistice<\/strike>Veterans&#8217; Day.  Thanksgiving.<br \/>\nPurportedly, Open Diary, where I wrote pretty regularly from 1999 until its closure in 2013, is returning sometime soon.  I am also writing on ProseBox.<br \/>\nI think, though, what I&#8217;m going to do is end each entry with what I&#8217;m going to write about tomorrow.<br \/>\n<i>Do you ever feel conflicted when someone you admire comes under controversy?<\/i><br \/>\nMaybe this weekend, I&#8217;ll get this better set up.  We&#8217;ll see.  On my lousy <a href=\"http:\/\/control-h.org\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blog<\/a>, my wife may be joining in on the fun.<br \/>\nI would write more, but today&#8217;s been incredibly long.  I did get my infusion this afternoon, so by the end of the weekend, I expect my energy level to be back to peak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction.
