Too Much Spam
When Stephanie moved out I had to start doing grocery shopping for the family. That hasn’t proved too problematic but I’m not gonna to lie that there has been something of a learning curve. I like Spam (the kind from Hormel – not electronic spam). I bought four cans in my first grocery order. I…

Sick in Bed
I spent most of the morning and some of the afternoon sick in bed. I still got Alex to his day program. Both he and Ben baths and pills. I listened for Ben’s noises but mostly he has been happy today. I also got the garbage and recycling to the curb. I still need to…

The Least Restrictive Environment
For people with disabilities one of the most important considerations after self direction is providing them with the least restrictive environment. Up until very recently when Stephanie moved into a motel everyone was in agreement that the least restrictive environment for Alex and Ben is in the house that we are buying for them and…

Productive Saturday
Today has been a good day. Stephanie took the boys out so that I could have some time to myself. I got some laundry done. I took a shower. I listened to my vinyl of Simon and Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits. I listened to my 18 minute subliminal concentration program. My daily habits are done except…

Leave the Fat in the Fish
One of the biggest selling points of fish is the fat. If you process it out then the fish isn’t as healthy. Today I was grocery shopping and looked at the fat content of imitation crab. The answer that came back was zero. That’s definitely not what I want. So I put Omega 3 into…

Saturday “Fun”
This morning there was an early knock on the door. It was the artist formerly named Raven (the homeless dude I sometimes talk about). I let him in and went upstairs to get dressed. He helped himself to Ben’s chicken nuggets which set Ben off. Raven/Rick/Ricky is going by the alias River now. He had…

Paperwork
I am a mess when it comes to paperwork. I just can’t focus on it properly to get it right. Stephanie recently served me divorce papers. It should come as no surprise to anyone that she would not help me fill them out. Fortunately my sister and her husband helped me go through them. Sadly…
