Keep the Cat in the House
Ben doesn’t like it when the cats are outside. It’s a cold rainy day to at least today I am inclined to agree with him. The problem is that he doesn’t have a good idea of whether Ether is in or out. He opens the door to check and Ether runs out. Then the cat…

Lazy Weekends
Stephanie has been getting up in the morning so I don’t have to do so. Oddly she doesn’t bill on the weekends so Saturday and Sunday are technically her days off. But my days off are Monday and Tuesday, and I still work. Caregiving is on call 24/7. I am still ending up being lazy…

phone, puddle, AARGH!
My phone is in a bag of rice. I agreed to help Tasha with a couch today. When we got to the house to pick it up i leaned out the car door to get out and my phone fell into a puddle. We got it into a bag of rice as quickly as possible,…

Big Mac
I had a Big Mac today for lunch. I can’t eat the pickles with my teeth the way they are, the lettuce is problematic, the bun is a little difficult, but a couple hot of 10th pound burgers are a good companion to a stomach that was too full yesterday. I got a 61 cent…

The Last Drop of Water
About a year ago Ben and I had a fight because he put half a bottle of water into his water bottle because that was all that was left in the gallon jug. He tried to pour the half bottle down the drain and I tried to stop him. So he doesn’t like it when…

Evening Hymns
I had already listened to my daily hymns when Ben asked for pills and soda simultaneously. As I’ve said here before he cannot have both at the same time. Caffeine and Benadryl tend to cancel each other out in his body. So I made him use expressive language to choose between the two. He wanted…

Turds
Ben usually gets a bath when he wants one. He sat on the toilet before he got in his bath tonight. A storm rolled in and Stephanie suggested that he sounded distressed because of it even though he was in the bath. I checked and he was sitting sideways in the tub with his legs…

Trading Pies
I read a story about a high school girl whose parents sent her to school each day with a good sized balanced and healthy lunch. The story goes that she ended up with scurvy because she would trade all of her good food for deserts. Maybe it’s a myth. But I was able to get…

Cotton Planters
I’m still playing a lot of Colonization Classic. There are four skills that can only be learned from the natives. So I speak with every village and city to see if they train one of those four, and if it’s one I still need then I send a free colonist or an indentured servant to…
