| So now that's taken care of, let me catch you up to speed. Student loans and bills have put a lock on my wallet. So for the time being, and until further notice, I am forced to accrue a new mindset for the coming months, or years. I've flipped that switch in my brain from slacker mode to work-my-ass-off mode. In the time that I've made the switch, I've noticed my work-ethic make a drastic sweep in upward productivity. Hence, with some luck during my Bingo binges, I should be able to, as they say- "get ahead" in no time. | ||
| Hey wait! Did I even tell you why I went to Wyoming to visit my sister in the first place? My only sister had her first child early September, a baby girl they named Raquel! I wanted to see my niece, and perhaps feel, instead of knowing, that I am an uncle. In the months leading up to her birth, I wasn't sure of how to approach my new social role, and spent a lot of time contemplating my roles as a nephew to all of my rad uncles, who always snuck me beers when my parents weren't looking, took me on fishing trips, and spoiled me rotten. I want to do the same. I'm proud to be an uncle, but I want to know that someday I'll be an uncle to be proud of. | ||
| I still haven't seen Raquel, but perhaps I can make it home someday and hold her for the first time. | ||
