Reset
My life is going into reset. Little things that I have counted on for decades are vanishing. I am finding out for instance that this house is a one man job. I am missing the fact that I don’t have a car and don’t know how to drive even if I did. Small comforts are…

Talking to Myself
Stephanie doesn’t live here anymore, so I am pacing and talking to myself way more often than I had been. I occasionally get a call from a friend. I appreciate those conversations. I’m even answering spam calls. They are mostly for Stephanie and I tell them she doesn’t live here and to remove the number…

Alcohol Polka
Weird Al has been doing polka covers as medleys for 40 years. Ben likes to listen to his newest one on YouTube. There’s a part where the song blames it on the “a-a-a-a-alcohol.” Ben was scripting that part this morning. That’s up there with yelling, “Kill the men, kill the elves, keep the gold for…

Chicken Nuggets and Diapers
We have enough chicken nuggets and we have enough diapers. Both are delivered to the house. I pay for the nuggets and so far that hasn’t been a problem. We receive diapers as a prescription through medical assistance. I need to be more proactive about those accounts. Barring a collapse of the federal government or…

Merlin
I am playing a Massive Multiplayer Online game (MMO) called Forge of Empires. In the current event I earned Merlin. I wasn’t sure I had actually gotten him because he was not on my allies list. It turns out he isn’t an ally at all. His picture can be used as my profile avatar. That’s…

Intimidation
I can be very intimidating. I have the ability to seem much more violent than I can actually be. My bark is far worse than my bite. That usually serves me effectively. I’ve never killed anyone nor do I want to do so. I have 1st Nephi in the back of my head that if…

Hippie
It’s been a long day. First for the record I need to say I hate “banker’s hours.” I went to a credit union at 3:30 to set up a new account. The only person there authorized to do that was in a meeting until four and wasn’t taking any customers after that. That stinks for…

Air Conditioning
We got that air conditioner. It works as advertised. The house has been 78 degrees since we turned it on. I read somewhere that cognitive function declines when the body overheats. I told Stephanie that I was sorry for the things I said when I was too hot to know better. She did not appreciate…

The Illusion of Individuality
Individuals have very little actual control over their environment. For instance we are getting a new air conditioner to go in our central service. I could not make and install an air conditioner myself. A lot of someone elses built it, several someone elses will install it, and someone other than that is paying for…
