  • Lazy Weekends

    Stephanie has been getting up in the morning so I don’t have to do so. Oddly she doesn’t bill on the weekends so Saturday and Sunday are technically her days off. But my days off are Monday and Tuesday, and I still work. Caregiving is on call 24/7. I am still ending up being lazy…

  • phone, puddle, AARGH!

    My phone is in a bag of rice. I agreed to help Tasha with a couch today. When we got to the house to pick it up i leaned out the car door to get out and my phone fell into a puddle. We got it into a bag of rice as quickly as possible,…

  • Time with William

    William came over today just to hang out. We talked for a bit until I got a call from Danny. Stephanie told me to get off the phone and I did. I offered to put in a movie for William and me, but he wasn’t interested. We talked a little more and then he had…

  • Big Mac

    I had a Big Mac today for lunch. I can’t eat the pickles with my teeth the way they are, the lettuce is problematic, the bun is a little difficult, but a couple hot of 10th pound burgers are a good companion to a stomach that was too full yesterday. I got a 61 cent…

  • Infinity to Eternity

    When you first learned about infinity you probably started with the idea that natural numbers are infinite and that given an eternity one could count forever. But that opens a whole bucket of philosophical slop. Most people I know believe that the universe had a beginning and that absolutely nothing existed in the eternal past.…

  • The Last Drop of Water

    About a year ago Ben and I had a fight because he put half a bottle of water into his water bottle because that was all that was left in the gallon jug. He tried to pour the half bottle down the drain and I tried to stop him. So he doesn’t like it when…

  • Evening Hymns

    I had already listened to my daily hymns when Ben asked for pills and soda simultaneously. As I’ve said here before he cannot have both at the same time. Caffeine and Benadryl tend to cancel each other out in his body. So I made him use expressive language to choose between the two. He wanted…

  • Turds

    Ben usually gets a bath when he wants one. He sat on the toilet before he got in his bath tonight. A storm rolled in and Stephanie suggested that he sounded distressed because of it even though he was in the bath. I checked and he was sitting sideways in the tub with his legs…

  • Copacabana

    Copacabana is a fun song. It’s one of Barry Manilow’s more memorable sounds. In junior high I was a musical snob. The only pop music I would listen (or at least admit to listen) to was Barry Manilow and Anne Murray. At one point I was invited to a school dance. The theme was Copacabana.…

  • Trading Pies

    I read a story about a high school girl whose parents sent her to school each day with a good sized balanced and healthy lunch. The story goes that she ended up with scurvy because she would trade all of her good food for deserts. Maybe it’s a myth. But I was able to get…
