  • Two Mounds

    If you have read very much at all on this blog then you know I don’t drive. I was a menace behind the wheel when I was supposed to be learning, and eventually realized the world would be a safer place without me behind a steering wheel. Up until very recently Stephanie did the driving…

  • 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…

  • Hypocritical

    One of the talks in Sacrament today was about The Sermon on the Mount. The word for hypocrite hasn’t changed much from the Biblical Greek two thousand years ago. For some reason I had never broken the word down to parse it. It’s “hypo” meaning beneath and “critic” meaning to find fault. A hypocrite is…

  • Dust Buster

    I got filters for my dust buster. I have been spot cleaning the floors for days. I am almost out of filters. But I got them from Amazon so I can order a bunch more now that I know the correct specifications. I’m going to try to find a hand held unit to do wet…

  • Ben’s Peanut Butter

    I got two 40oz. jars of Jif peanut butter from the grocery store. I figured they would last a while. This afternoon I found one of them open on the counter with half the peanut butter gone. Stephanie was in the house at the time and I figured it was her because she likes to…

  • Wasting Sauce

    I grew up in a home where wasting food was significantly frowned upon. I don’t like to throw away leftovers. We had a bag of meatballs in the freezer for maybe a year. I am finishing the last of them now. How do they taste you may ask. I don’t really think about it. I…

  • Reset

    My life is going into reset. Little things that I have counted on for decades are vanishing. I am finding out for instance that this house is a one man job. I am missing the fact that I don’t have a car and don’t know how to drive even if I did. Small comforts are…

  • Talking to Myself

    Stephanie doesn’t live here anymore, so I am pacing and talking to myself way more often than I had been. I occasionally get a call from a friend. I appreciate those conversations. I’m even answering spam calls. They are mostly for Stephanie and I tell them she doesn’t live here and to remove the number…

  • Fosters

    My foster sister Angel and I have been texting a lot more than usual lately. She said I was her favorite brother and that her biological brother was evil. My parents wanted to help a lot of children who had seen too much evil to close. My biological sisters and I were required to make…
