Intoxicated
I don’t have anything to go out of the house for tomorrow, so I am intoxicated tonight. This is becoming pretty typical for my Friday nights. Just mellow. Fed, fasting, and mellow. Stay Awesome, Stay Weird, or Stay Away.

Jesus’s Birthday
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was founded on April 6th, 1830. While it is not canonical, some Mormons including myself believe this happened on Jesus’s Birthday. The Christmas date just makes less and less sense to me as time goes on. Why were shepards in the field with their flocks in…

Daily Hymns
On Sundays the hymns for the ward are posted in the LDS Gospel Library app. I usually listen to those for my daily hymns. Today the hymns were Easter favorites. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints doesn’t celebrate Palm Sunday and we usually celebrate Easter on Easter. But lately Holy Saturday and…

My Valentine 26
Stephanie let me sleep today. I have only been awake for three hours and it’s already time to blog. Not much has happened yet. I didn’t get her a Valentine’s Day present. Perhaps I should do better.

New Year, New Microwave
My life is never dull. Ben started screaming because our microwave did not heat his chicken nuggets. Upon examination the heating element had fail. The timer ran, the light turned on, and the plate spun, but the nuggets came out frozen. He tried several more times to heat them then ate them frozen. That motivated…

Liminal Time
The space between Christmas and New Years is a strange time in the USA. We have goals that we all put off for next year. We procrastinate our collective salvation. I am drifting. The winter is cold and I’ve got what I need. Stephanie is not quite as liminal as I am. Alex’s day program…

The Day After Christmas 25
It’s been a quiet day. Lots of sleeping and a little beer. The house is covered with boxes and wrapping paper. I assembled a chair for Stephanie. There’s a lot of debris from that in an ugly little pile. But both garbage bins were already full last night and now that they’ve been picked up…
