I am running the battery of my phone to zero. I have been assured that this is good for both the life of the phone and the life of the battery. I however have to be careful how I do this as early in the night as it is. You see, and I’ve probably told…

Walking to the Store
My youngest was very specific in his requests today. He wanted a bath and a walk to the convenience store down the street. The trip is kind of expensive so we can’t do it every day. But we did it today. If you’ve been following for very long you know that we live in Wisconsin.…

Work from Home
Because Stephanie and I work from home things can and often do go smoothly without us going anywhere. This is very helpful with her being perpetually sick and me not driving. Taking care of our autistic boys has all our eggs in one basket though. Our middle child did so well on his last evaluation…

Laundry Overload
Stephanie and I have been putting off laundry. I mean like we have really been putting it off. The procrastination is real. Virtually all the clothes in the house are dirty. We are trying to rectify that situation currently but I don’t like the way she does laundry and she doesn’t like the way I…

Falling Soda Cans
It has been a hard day for everyone in my family. But decisions have been made and it’s affecting everyone around those decisions. So I’m a little edgy today. But this post isn’t about our big problems, it is about a very specific small one. I have been able to successfully ration soda for the…

Free Markets and Losers
Stephanie and I are arguing about capitalism again. We are both bad at making and saving money. She doesn’t see that as a problem while I do. And she keeps saying I argue that “Capitalism is true.” I think it’s a strawman. My argument is that capitalism is effective in producing things that I desire,…
