Following Directions
I learn best by doing things wrong and realizing that I have done them wrong later. Then I do something different and hopefully less wrong. I repeat the process by hopefully again continuing to be incrementally less wrong as I continue to go. This is time consuming and not always productive, but when I have…

Losing My Phone
I dreamed I lost my cell phone again, that the person who took it from me also dismantled it, and that I had to reassemble it when I finally got it back. I have a sense that my phone isn’t really mine and my subconscious agrees. Granted it’s only been actually stolen once and I…

Asking the Government
The USA is conducting the largest mass deportations in the country’s history. Children of illegal immigrants are being rounded up to be sent back “home.” Home is in quotes because many of them have never lived anywhere but the USA. And yet they are here illegally. There’s a political principle I picked up over the…

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…

The Hyperalert Crash
Lately I’ve been having trouble waking up on time. Years of being hyperalert because of the boys autism is really starting to catch up with me. This week has been worse than normal. I was late for the day program driver and barely had time to get dressed before the appointment with the boys’ nurse.…

Officer Commission
I’m thinking about my time in the Army Reserve when I first became an adult. I was never a good soldier. I didn’t qualify on my rifle and I didn’t pass the physical training tests. I had trouble keeping my head down and my mouth shut. When a drill sergeant yelled in my face, “Don’t…
