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.…

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

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.…
