Forgot to Fast
At five minutes after midnight last night I opened the LDS Study App. The hymns for our Sacrament Service appear on Sundays. The first hymn of today’s meeting was about the blessings of fasting. I was currently eating a midnight snack and finished it because I could in theory start a fast. I went to…

Dysregulated Again
Yesterday I had Danny over. I got beer for me, wine for him, and Culver’s for everyone. It was a good evening until I ended up with a headache and nausea. I slept hard and have been dysregulated today. So is everyone else today. Stephanie didn’t sleep. We’re having trouble keeping Ben in the house.…

A Plumber and a Pill
Today my dad called a plumber to find out why our upstairs bathroom is leaking. The plumber got here before my dad did so I showed him how the problem is affecting all three levels of the house. The plumber went to work. He took things apart. He ran water in the tub he was…

Laryngitis
Today my throat hurts. It’s tight and it’s achy. It’s hard to talk and even harder to eat. So I’m typing out my thoughts. I don’t get sick very often. I’ve gotten as much sleep as I can for now. I’ll power through this one. There’s always work to do, and Stephanie is always sicker…

Art Career
I was talking about my art with my oldest son. I lamented that it is not a career. You see I buy more of my own art than everyone else combined. I have an art hobby not an art career. Obviously if I was only doing it to make money I wouldn’t spend as much…

The Day After Easter
Reverse Lent is over. Will I live a cleaner more holy life for Jesus or is this just like the New Year’s Resolutions people make and break three days later. I’ve already decided that I’m not actually going to give up beer. I haven’t had THC in weeks hopefully I can stay away from that.…

Hiding in the Basement
We leave the basement door open at night so the cats can get in and out. Our youngest son doesn’t like it when the cats are in the basement and doesn’t like the basement door open. There is a crawl space just inside the door where the cats sometimes retreat. Our son woke up and…

Turning the Car Around
I sometimes joke that Gen X should turn everyone’s internet off for a week and make the world survive like we are in the 80s again. I remember being in the backseat of my parents car and going somewhere we really wanted to go. If we acted up my parents would threaten to turn the…

Mice and Ants
We occasionally get a mouse in the house. They don’t last long though. Magic will kill them and apparently so will Ether. Stephanie described how the other day Ether was “playing” with a mouse. It was alive and he was tossing it into the air and catching it. I’m not particularly worried about mice though…

Sedentary Life
I am sitting in an easy chair drinking beer. I still have my clothes on but not my shoes. If anyone were to invade my home I probably wouldn’t stand much of a chance, but I keep repeating to myself that if God constrains me to kill someone He will provide a way. I’m not…
