Medication and self medication
I just finished an infused soda. I have started my two hour fast. Then I can take my night meds and see what the drug interaction is. In the Revised Edition Dungeon Master Handbook there was a table. The table was run on a d100. Each percentile had a reaction between two potions. At 01…

Replacing the Yellow
I made art today. I chose 8.5×11 for the canvas. Drew a Soda Volcano. And printed it. The yellow cartridge had to be replaced when this was done.

Waking Up
When my alarm went off everyone was asleep so I turned it off and went back to sleep myself. An hour later Ben needed a diaper, but I lay back down after that too. The next time I looked at my phone it was two hours later and I was very late getting Alex ready…

Not Everything Got Done Today
I’ve been playing and event in a mobile game all day. The good news is that I won. The better news is that we did not have any emergencies today. Of course the bad news as always is that I was not as productive as I needed to be. Alex’s room is horrific. I need…

Bed Bugs
Our son William lives in an assisted living apartment building. Someone in the building got bed bugs. This person brought the bed bugs into the laundry room for the building.

Tomorrow
We are just beginning to teach Ben the concept of waiting for tomorrow. Stephanie doesn’t want to reward his demands. I am more worried that the demands are for instant gratification. We had to tell him for hours that electricians don’t work at night and that he would have to wait until the next day…

The “i” in Christ
Someone farther back than anyone has done my genealogy literally took on the name of Christ for the family. That decision many centuries ago has a pernicious effect on me. I am certainly a Crist but that doesn’t make me a Christian. The “i” in Christ gives me delusions of grandeur. I am the Mark…

Simpler Time
I’m sitting on a lawn chair in front of the house. It rained a little this morning. Ben and I walked to the convenience store but we only got a few sprinkles. He’s been just as ornery today as he has been since the breaker failed. That was days ago. The weather is pleasant. It…

Dumping Soda
Ben came home from respite dysregulated. He was not done at the park and requested it multiple times in the past few hours. He sat in the car to protest that we are not taking him anywhere. He requested a bath and got one. He has requested the Soda Fairy and gotten that. Sadly he…

Electrician
All the lights are back on. It took four or five hours for the electrician to fix most of it. The main breaker was expired, the thermal photo rated it at 180 degrees Fahrenheit, so it had to be replaced. That is a temporary fix. Replacing it with a new one will take a whole…
