  • Blogging University – “A” for Ambition, “F” for Failure

    Nearly thirty days ago, along with hundreds or thousands of other bloggers, I started the Blogging University “101” and “201” challenges. My heart was in the right place.

    03/24/14, 03:55:28 AM Dear Java-Fueled Journaling, Here it is, a couple of nights, actually mornings later. It’s not quite five, but getting close. I didn’t fall asleep and wake up this time. I just never went to sleep. I know – I should have taken the meds, but after I took the pain meds, I…
