  • Magic in my Lap

    Magic has been extra affectionate lately. She’ll climb into my lap and snuggle. Sometimes when things are quiet we can sit together for an hour or two. Soft, and warm, and peaceful.

  • Believing in Leprechauns

    There are some very well meaning people that don’t believe in leprechauns. They are adamant that modern science precludes the existence of them along with fairies and vampires and dragons. Many go on to insist that since it is irrational to believe in these sorts of creatures that I should be forced to admit that…

  • Me and the Cats

    Everyone is out of the house. I’ve done all my daily habits. I’m just listening to one of the cats meow and scratch the wall in the kitchen. There’s a little ambient house noise in the background. A ceiling fan overhead and the furnace below. But I can take a moment to listen to my…

  • Hard Living Catches Up

    I work hard, I play hard, and if you’ve been here for very long then you know I also sleep hard. I indulged yesterday and it hit hard today. I slept for 17 hours. Stephanie took care of things while I did. I’m awake and dressed now for good measure. I don’t think I have…

  • Infused

    I am artificially infused with happiness. But it leaves me in a good mood most of the rest of the time. I’m on a cocktail of prescription and self medications without any alcohol or nicotine. I sometimes feel like I’m just going to drift away and God is going to call me home. That seems…

  • This blog is a mandala

    This blog is a mandala. Beautiful for the few moments I am writing in it, then drown in the internet to be truly lost.

  • Magic in My Lap

    My cat Magic has been especially cuddly with me in the past few days. She has gotten into my lap and stayed there for an hour letting me pet her. But “Magic in my Lap” kinda sounds like a dirty movie. One of those artsy “We don’t call it a lap dance in France” sorts…

  • 40 Degrees is Paradise

    For the past two months it has been cold enough that I haven’t wanted to walk around outside. Today it was 40 degrees in the afternoon and we didn’t get rain like yesterday. So the whole family went for a walk to the convenience store about half a mile from the house. It wasn’t a…

  • Piles of Crap

    Don’t worry I’m not going to complain about literal crap today though gods know I have too much of that too. Today I am concerned about all the cardboard that had been piling up in the house. We get a ton of deliveries and so have more cardboard boxes than a reasonable family should face.…
