  • Pajamas on a Wednesday

    I haven’t done a lot today. I haven’t even gotten out of my pajamas. My alarm didn’t go off at 9 am. I’m not sure if I accidentally turned it off or if a child was playing with my phone. At any rate I was less aware than I should be in the morning. The…

  • Big Changes

    This morning when we woke up the entire family was cured of autism. Ether was actually a girl cat and gave birth to a litter of six kittens. I have decided to convert to Buddhism, give up all my worldly possessions, and join a monastery. . . . Lastly it is April Fools Day in…

  • Ether is Friendly

    Ether is getting used to being in the upstairs areas. Cosmos and Magic are still being kind of aggressive but he’s not running for the basement as often. This morning I woke up early with reflux. I came downstairs and took an antacid and sat in our green easy chair while it worked. Ether started…

  • A Chapter from Alma

    “7 Now there was no law against a man’s belief; for it was strictly contrary to the commands of God that there should be a law which should bring men on to unequal grounds. 8 For thus saith the scripture: Choose ye this day, whom ye will serve.” Alma 30 (Book of Mormon) It would…

  • Church in Jammies

    Next weekend is the General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is available on the internet. I usually try to watch some of it, but it’s five two hour blocks, so it’s been a long time since I’ve watched an entire Conference. Going to church remains an obstacle that…

  • Hiding in the Basement

    Since Tuesday I had not seen Ether. Stephanie was sure he was hiding in the basement. I worried that he had escaped the house and found her evidence that he was still with us inconclusive. Tonight he came out of hiding long enough for Stephanie to pick him up and bring him upstairs. She held…

  • Violence and Murder

    Yesterday my youngest son wanted a bath at an inappropriate time. I said no and it started a meltdown. We had to use emergency medication to deescalate him. He was able to get a bath in the afternoon and go with his respite worker. While he was gone Stephanie got our new cat Ether. When…

  • Stephanie and Ether

    We got another cat today. He is Ether and he’s still kinda scared of Magic. Cosmos has been a little more friendly. Wish us all luck.

  • Downgoing Men

    There’s a line in Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde that goes something about the protagonist being “the last reputable friend of downgoing men.” I identify with that line. I must admit that I very often want to stop their slow slide into depravity. I am a judgmental person and that comes in handy talking to…
