Bloody Nose
I got my first bloody nose of the season. Once we turn the furnace on the dry air makes my nostrils weird. This time it was even more strange because it happened in the shower. I went to open the door and realized that there was blood on my hands. It’s difficult to dry off…

Pajama Day
One of the advantages to working from home is that I don’t have to put on clothes. One of the disadvantages is that I sometimes stay in the same pair of pajamas for several days. I wore clothes yesterday but today has been completely a pajama day. If you are coming to visit give me…

Lithium Batteries
My son dropped a phone. The lithium battery exploded and it freaked him out. The phone will only stay on for a few minutes before it overheats.

Headache
I’ve been arguing today and drinking beer. I do those things most days so I’m not sure why it’s given me a headache today. There hasn’t even been much screaming.

Doubting My Doubts
