  • Day Off (in D minor)

    It’s been a quiet day for the first time in about a week. My wife and boys are better regulated. Our homeless man went to the job center. And I’m a little more relaxed. I joked earlier that our ducks still aren’t in a row. The little peckers are running around and hiding our spoons.…

  • My Family Needs Me

    My family needs me more than Walgreens. I didn’t want to just quit, but I did ask to have my hours reduced. I will only be working there two nights a week. Truck day and tag day. I have been hesitant to get on the payroll for the supportive home care of the boys, but…

  • 24 hours

    In the past 24 hours on less than 4 hours of sleep I have taken in a homeless man, the power to the house has failed, and my wife went to the clinic for an anxiety attack. I also called off work again and my general manager is still very sympathetic to our plight. I’ll…

  • My Two Cents

    I firmly believe in the existence of objective truth, but I am convinced people are bad at finding it, worse at keeping it, and hopeless when those two conditions are met at teaching it. This is a hill oddly enough that I will die on. It is also just a two cent opinion.

  • Ambivalent

    I was pretty ambivalent about my wife leaving the Church until it actually happened. I understand her reasons and share some of them. My testimony has always been irregular and now I am questioning whether I can call it a testimony at all. I have little interest in being temple worthy and remain adamant that…

  • Change (Part 2)

    Things are changing quickly. I missed church because I overslept. The bishop came to the house to verify that my wife wants her name taken off the official records. And we got the canvas of the art that I made for her. A copy of the canvas is available for $100 (sorry we’re not selling…

  • Change

    I just woke up from a dream that we got a new change counter at work and I had to ignore that our general manager was talking about me on the other side of the store so that I could be the first to try it.

  • Calling Off

    I got enough sleep last night. I got enough coffee this morning. My wife did not. I’m staying home from work so she can rest. The boys are loud but they are clean and fed. I’m still in my jammies, so I feel a little guilty for not making more of an effort to go…

  • Diaper and Bath, Please

    I’ve been up for about an hour. It’s earlier than I wanted to be, but my youngest wanted a diaper and bath. I can’t just leave him in a bath and go back to sleep for obvious reasons. So I got up, got him in the tub, and am drinking a Dr. Pepper Cream Soda.…
