Fresh Air and Kids
Today was pleasant after the rain stopped, so I put the chairs out on the porch. I sat with Ben for awhile and Alex wanted to come out so I got up and let him sit down so I could record the two of them. Alex got bored and went back inside, I got a…

TV looks fake!
I’ve been watching shows from the 80s for which I have grown nostalgic. Old grainy film. Real costumes. Stephanie is watching new TV shows. And they just look fake to me. For all the miracles of modern technology I don’t think CGI is among them. It just lacks the charm of stop motion and claymation.…

Too Much Caffeine
Stephanie drinks a lot of caffeine because it helps with her ADHD. Sometimes I am foolish enough to try to keep up. In the past 24 hours I have had too much caffeine. I am shaky. There’s not a lot I can do but wait until it is out of my system. I took a…

Stacks of Books
Alex is sitting across the room from me in the easy chair. He had taken all the books off the shelf next to him and made a pile in his lap taller than his head. He loves stacks of books. He has many. Some of them become his permanently. This one probably won’t. Oddly enough…

This morning I got a call while my phone was in sleep mode to let me know that Alex’s day program is on hold until everyone gets the Medicaid paperwork in place. Maybe he’ll go back tomorrow maybe it will take a month. I didn’t see the voicemail or the text until after my alarm…

A Cataract Orange
I had my compressive eye exam. No glaucoma, and no macular degeneration. My left eye however has level 4 out of 4 cataracts and I am eligible for surgery. They did not change my prescription because if I do get cataract work the new prescription would be useless afterwards. The good doctor described the procedure…

McDonald’s Chicken Nuggets
I got a refund today and it was enough to get tacos for Stephanie and McDonald’s for Ben and me. He always gets their chicken nuggets. I watched as he opened up the box and then two of the BBQ packets. He set the box down neatly in the lid of the box and dipped…

Pustular
I learned a new word today. Something that is oozing pus is pustular. Ether’s butt is bloody and pustular. He needs to see a vet, but nobody has the spoons for that. Stephanie put on some lotion and it seemed to help. He’s in better shape than he was this winter in all other regards.…

Sober
In honor of Stephanie’s Brother who’s been sober for two weeks I will not be having any beer tonight. I hope he has a mellow evening and I hope you do to. Stay Awesome! Stay Weird! or Stay Away!
