My Faith Is Autistic
I am coming to grips with the fact that I have never been a religious person. My heart just isn’t in it. I am a man of faith however because I know the gods are more diverse than all the books about them. I first started to question Christianity when I was about fourteen or…

Lots of Weeks in this Month
It’s been a long month of long weeks. If it hasn’t been one thing it’s been another. I wanted to indulge. We ordered Papa John’s for everyone and I ate a whole medium pizza. I started my fast after finishing a bottled water. Now I have to wait to take my reflux pills until I…

Ben’s Bad Day
Ben had a bad day today. He needed extra meds. Soda was one of the few requests we could honor so he got a bunch of that. We promised him his respite worker but she had to call off at the last minute. When he asked for her we had to say No. He doesn’t…

Getting Older
We are all rushing toward death. Some days I can feel that more than others. The ride hasn’t been a gentle one for me. It’s always something. Perhaps I am not an outlier. Everyone works and everyone worries. I should not make that into a competition but I usually do. My life hasn’t been bad…

Logging Video Game Times
I love video games. I have for most of my life. I have let great opportunities slip to play one more round of one more game. I am playing Morrowind on my computer again. I’ve logged about 350 hours since I got it on my Steam account. Probably a lot more before that. I have…

The whole story
About two weeks ago one of the breakers tripped and Ben started asking for lightbulbs. When I realized it was the breaker not the bulbs, I tried to switch it on, but it kept breaking. Ben was furious but it was nine at night and we had to sedate him to stop screaming. We also…

Too Tired
I am always tired. I would feel more justified if I were getting very much done. I bring it up now because the electricians are coming at 7:30 tomorrow morning. I’ve changed my bedding and taken a shower. I still have to wait to take my psych meds and then wait more to eat because…

That Dang Cat
Yesterday evening Ether got out again. He did not return for night fall. He did not return in the day. He has still not returned 24 hours later. We are as you might imagine worried. It’s not the first time he’s been gone this long. He’s probably okay. But it’s been storming, so he’s also…

A Hundred Times Soda Fairy
My son has been asking for the soda fairy more and more often. It has started to become excessive so we said no tonight. He’s had three cans of soda and another soda from Culver’s. It’s getting late and he doesn’t need another. He does not take No well and he is not taking it…

Three Hours of Sleep
Since last night’s blog post I’ve gotten three hours of sleep. The child was up all night with me and me with him. His brother went to sleep at 2 am. He fell asleep on the couch at 9 am. I was able to nap a little after that but everyone needed to be awake…
