Rough Month
Today has been difficult. This month has been difficult. There’s a joke that January is the free trial month. I would like to cancel my subscription to 2025.

Reimagining Eden
“Eve fell that women might be, and women are that they might have joy” (not quite Nephi). Stephanie is watching a show where the devil is the protagonist. She wanted me to know that. I have long seen Lucifer as an antihero at worst. The above quote was about Adam and men before I lifted…

The Chores Piled Up
This is the first time I’ve been dressed in days. I’m still feeling a little run over from the bug that hit our house and hit it hard. But the trash from the past few days had piled up at the front door. It was as you might imagine particularly nasty trash. So I got…

Sick: Day Two
I’ve definitely got the flu. I’m stuffed up. I don’t want to eat. I have kept a whole wheat hot dog bun down. Lots of liquids. Having trouble resting. Migraine meds. Naproxen PM. My mouth feels worse than it usually does. Water and carrot juice taste metallic. Gatorade doesn’t however taste any different. There’s snow…

First Amendment Football
I had a dream that I was working with a football team. The coach didn’t want me there. He told me my weird ideas weren’t welcome on his field. I warned him that it was against my First Amendment rights to deny me a position in a government program because of my unrelated activism. I…

Dungeons, Dragons, and Dreams
Yesterday I saw a video of a $20,000 Nosferatu sarcophagus. This morning I dreamed about a D&D quest to recover it. It started out with me searching for it with an army of goblins. We were crossing snowy mountains with steep slopes. The goblins all started sliding down in a valley which woke a frost…

Birthday Card
I have a granddaughter, she lives two states away with her mom, and I don’t drive. I sent her a card and a letter. I only wrote as much as I usually do here, but if she wants I’ll write to her more often.

Plushies
My youngest son has 20 or 30 stuffed and plastic animals that he keeps on his bed. Some of them are big and they cover almost the whole bed. He has so many plushies that he can’t sleep properly in the bed now. So… he fell asleep in my bed. I cleared his bed and…
