Cardboard Boxes
We get boxes of diapers for the two younger boys. Magic decided to perch herself atop them. Sadly my youngest didn’t let her stay long. But I got a good picture before he brushed her down. The real pile of boxes however is being slowly moved from his older brother’s room to the new apartment.…

Moving Day.
My son has been packing up his stuff to go to the very first apartment of his own. A buddy of mine came over this morning with his truck and we started the process of getting boxes and furniture into the new place. We moved a good third of my son’s stuff into his apartment…

Losing power for half a day because of financial security issues. Anxiety attacks and meltdowns. Arguments about doctrine most of it bad. And my confidence that even…

Day Six
It’s day six of “a homeless man living in my basement.” We all seem to be dysregulated except for him. I love this dude but he’s driving me up the wall. Send help. 😔 29 April 2023

Crafting
Today has been quiet compared to the past week. I actually got out of the house for something fun. I have a friend who does crafting. Little pieces of physical art to trade with other crafters. So she and I went to the Dollar Tree so she could pick up more supplies for her next…
