Weeds and Weed Trees
Stephanie has abdicated the growing and weeding on the property. I’ve asked the backyard neighbors to see if the garden can be helped or if it just needs to be mowed down. I am taking full responsibility for the weeds and weed trees around the house. I went to Ace, said hi to William, and…

Paperwork
I am a mess when it comes to paperwork. I just can’t focus on it properly to get it right. Stephanie recently served me divorce papers. It should come as no surprise to anyone that she would not help me fill them out. Fortunately my sister and her husband helped me go through them. Sadly…
