Nuggets and Clock
My wife had a migraine yesterday so I had a buddy drive me to the grocery store. We were out of chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese (among other things). Later our son who just moved out called my wife so she could take him grocery shopping. I feel a little like I wasted a…

Interesting Times
I am told that the Chinese have a curse that goes, “May you live in interesting times.” I find it odd that so many people are normal and want to be normal. My life is always interesting. I used to get bored and wonder if that was because in those years I was just boring.…

Evenings and Weekends
A long time ago I realized that the willingness to work evenings and weekends was an adaptive trait in a capitalist economy. I have never gone to the bars on the weekend and have rarely felt the need to just leave town to blow off steam. So I’m spending another Saturday night at Walgreens. Over…

Maximum Capacity
Our homeless friend seems to have found accommodations more to his liking. Both of my older sons are content to live on their own. So The house just has me, my wife and our two adult disabled children. At this point in my life that seems like enough. When we are all in the house…

Another Day, Another Pharmacy
Walgreen has four stores in town. Before tonight I had only worked at one of them. One of the other pharmacies was shorthanded tonight so I agreed to help. I suffer from a bad case of imposter syndrome. I do not believe I am up to the responsibilities that life sends my way on a…

Mother’s Day
I woke up early (and stayed awake) to give our youngest son a bath. I made sure he ate and let him watch a few videos with me. He seemed agitated, so I gave him his morning medication. My intention was to let his mother and my lovely wife sleep in. She got up to…

Running Late
The past couple of days have been hard on my wife. She has been having trouble getting the motivation to do things like grocery shopping. But she went to do that a little bit ago. Sadly I don’t think she’ll be back in time for me to get to Walgreens promptly. I’m okay with that.…
