Stephanie Day Off
Stephanie and I have agreed that she needs at least one day off a week from taking care of the children. Saturdays are her day off and my day to do all the supportive home care. It’s still a pretty typical day for the kids. My youngest wanted a bath first thing in the morning.…

The house is quiet
The house is quiet except for me and Cosmos grooming at the top of the bookshelf next to me. The boys are with their aides. Stephanie is asleep. It’s the middle of the afternoon in the middle of the week and I’m still in my pajamas. It is the eye of the hurricane. It is…

Calendars
Tonight I changed my son’s diaper, gave him his pills, turned off his light, and said Goodnight. About ten minutes later he walked into my room holding my Stephanie’s calendar. You probably know it’s turned September half an hour ago. He insists that the calendars be changed before he goes to bed on the eve…

So Far So Good
I got a decent night’s sleep. I got the boys dosed, fed and one of them out the door. I got some stock art approved. I’ve played my mobile games and am having some coffee. I’ve got to make a phone call today (yuck) and read some of Stephanie’s poetry (yay). It should continue to…

Her Day Off
Saturdays are Stephanie’s day off from caregiving. I mean technically we are both “on call” for the children 24/7, but there are certain days we don’t bill, and it’s the other person’s responsibility unless there’s an emergency. Today is my day to work and to bill and her day to sleep. Theoretically anyway. We were…

Day of Rest
I slept in this morning… like way in. Nobody died. My sinuses hurt so I took some Naproxen, Benadryl, THC, CBD, and Migraine Meds. It’s that kind of day. I expect to be totally useless. Hopefully today will not require anything that requires motivation. I still had to change a diaper. There are so many…

Introversion vs. Extroversion
I was raised within a duality paradigm. The world divided into binary categories: male or female, good or evil, right or wrong, black or white, introvert or extrovert. But that paradigm always, always, always failed to capture the complex reality that surrounded me. Duality is an illusion we use to simplify our reality. I recently…

Sustaining My Lifestyle
Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle? One of the things I definitely need to sustain the level of safety and comfort I am accustomed to is a better source of income. My wife and I are professional caregivers which is currently paying the bills. We however aspire…
