Video Games and Drugs
I am thinking about obsessive and addictive behavior today. As anyone who has been following me for very long knows I play an excessive amount of video games. I am much more moderate with my alcohol and THC use. But they fill a lot of the same functions in mental health /illness. They are an…

Different
I am different from anyone else. That really isn’t saying much since every individual is unique. The question is whether I am more unique. I joked with my dad today that we were embarrassingly white. I remember a joke book that poked fun at WASPs (white Anglo Saxon Protestants). I didn’t realize that all those…

Snow in March
We got six inches of heavy wet snow. Over the course of the day I’ve gotten all of our sidewalks scraped off and most of the driveway. I’ve got to get the rest of the driveway in the morning because I ran out of light. I took my pills a few minutes ago so I…

Stephanie Yells
Stephanie is yelling at me about genocide again. There’s nothing I can do about it if it’s actually happening. I’m uninformed. She’s yelling at me about that too. There are lies, damn lies, and statistics. She passed her statistics class. I didn’t. She reads way more than I ever will. Such is my lot in…

You Have 30 Seconds
I have a love hate relationship with advertisements. I grew up in the 80s. I usually got about 10 minutes of show time for a minute and a half of ads. I know what I can do for a minute and a half while I’m ignoring ads playing. Today’s ads are very often voluntary in…

My Health Starts with Me
I saw the nurse practitioner who prescribes my psych meds yesterday. No changes on that front, but she did order a blood draw. I walked to the hospital to get the work done today because Stephanie wasn’t up to driving and my health starts with me. It went smoothly but the results came back with…

Feeling Woosy
I’m not feeling quite right again and Stephanie let me sleep and did most of the bins herself. I had a particularly weird dream but all I remember from it was stuffed potatoes with a swervey line of chocolate on each one.

Can’t, Wouldn’t, Shouldn’t
My phone does not like negatives. I’ve been rereading old blogposts today and realizing how quickly they turned into nonsense because the phone auto completed with a positive and I sent without proofreading to make sure all the “n’t”s were where they needed to be. Stephanie even pointed out a more egregious example in one…

Christian Prejudices
In the effort to identify as a Christian church The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints needs to be more careful about adopting the prejudices of traditional Christianity. One in particular that continues to bother me is the way that Saints treat the Quran and Islam. I think there are some undeniable parallels…

Sunday 3 8 26
I’m about halfway through anti Lent. I have not directly quoted the Bible since Fat Tuesday. But there are so many phrases that I say that are based on Bible verses. I forgot to use “with great power comes great responsibility” and instead kinda quoted Paul. Only kinda. But when trying to put my Bibles…
