Not Granted
Last night I had a Papa Bowl from Papa John because they are relatively soft on my teeth. I still managed to bite down wrong and the front tooth that had been bothering me so much fell out. Today my mouth hurts significantly less. I have taken my teeth for granted my entire life, and…

Actual Saturday Morning
I slept until a little past noon today except for getting up briefly at 4am to clean up poop. The house was quiet otherwise and I don’t have to work until later. So now I sit at my computer screen wonder what to say about a morning that I didn’t really have. My wife doesn’t…

Saturday Morning Energy
I remember when I was a kid I had a lot of trouble getting up for school. It got so bad that I would get completely dressed except for shoes and curl back under my blankets until I absolutely had to leave. I had the same problem on Sundays before church and occasionally wouldn’t get…

Job Search
Walgreens is a good job but it’s just a job. I don’t like selling credit cards and I don’t like even the idea of handling abortion pills. But I need the structure of a job in my life, and this is the one I’ve got. I have in the past few months applied to a…

Magic
We have a cat. Her name is Magic. She’s taken on personality traits of everyone in the house. For instance the shelter she came from said she was a quiet cat. That lasted for a while but she eventually decided to compete with all the other sounds in the house. She is also as eccentric…

Swear Word
When I was a kid we had a general rule that I should not use words if I didn’t know what they meant and didn’t mean what I wanted to say. Most of the time swear words aren’t expressive language. For instance if someone says “Fuck her” they probably don’t actually want you to have…

Staring at my Phone
It’s Sunday morning and I already called off church yesterday. I look at my Moto G Pure and start to blog. The boy woke me up early today and I’m having a cup of coffee. The boy and the cat are vocalizing in the background. And my wife got up as I was trying to…
