Three Beers In
Stephanie let me sleep this morning. Ben didn’t but she let me go back to bed after he was done with me. Diaper and soda first thing in the morning. What a life. But today has mostly been mobile games in between the job of taking care of my adult disabled autistic children. The struggle…

Mobile Lies
Today has been a better day. I went to my counselor for the first time in months which got me out of the house. I should get out more but I prefer to be home in my pajamas whenever I can help it. I’ve mostly been playing Bud Farm on my phone today otherwise. It…

Hard Day for Mormons
Today was Fast and Testimony Sunday. I wasn’t planning on going to Sacrament Meeting but I decided to fast anyway. I started my fast at 11 pm Central Time. When I woke up in the morning I got news that the prophet and president of the church had passed away at almost exactly the same…

Dress for the Job You Want
I’ve been in my pajamas all day. I like it that way. I don’t have to put on clothes for diapers, meds, and baths. I don’t have to put on clothes for video games or social media. I can do art and writing just the way I am. I’m not comfortable leaving the house without…

Healing
Stephanie has been writing about healing a lot lately. Her own healing is her story to tell and she is telling it sporadically. My own healing is relatively minor compared to her needs. I hate being sick. I don’t allow health problems to slow me down when I can help it. But that means when…

Changing Beliefs
Tonight I have been thinking about how much control we have over our beliefs. I don’t think it’s very much. I think we charge into reality and only start or stop believing something because the truth hurts. I get into so many arguments online. None of them really hurt. Nobody on the other side of…

How’s the Sickie?
The Princess Bride starts with Peter Falk walking into his grandson’s room and asking: How’s the Sickie? Today I have been sick and I don’t like it. I’ve gotten some extra sleep but I still feel like my butt has been kicked. I don’t know if I picked it up on my trip this weekend,…

Let Them Govern Themselves
I talked with another person today about Joseph Smith Jr saying that we should teach people correct principles and let them govern themselves. The saying is generally well received because most people believe that they have correct principles and want to govern themselves. The problem of course is that people don’t agree which principles are…

Accents
I occasionally hear people complain about English spoken with foreign accents. I am usually fairly forgiving of people who know my language better than I know theirs. Spanish accents don’t bother me, neither do Mediterranean or Indian accents. Oddly enough though when it is obvious that English is a person’s first language and they pronounce…

Am I Helping?
My homeless friend came again today. He got his replacement ID. I didn’t look but it probably still has my address on it. We talked and he, Ben, and I listened to Weird Al. While the song foil was playing he talked about someone who he was sure knew everything about the Illuminati. He said…
