Ether at Rest
Ether is resting in my lap. He has been very affectionate since the veterinarian. The fleas are mostly dead but his head and neck are still knobby. But he can relax again and is mostly choosing to do so on me. He’s a good cat. I wonder how much of my life I could live…

Dunkin Donuts and Divorce
Stephanie brought me a couple of Dunkin Donuts and a latte. Six months ago this was pretty typical. Perhaps too typical. I didn’t take it for granted today. I don’t want to own her or control her so I hate to even ask her for anything. I have got to get used to that.

Deep Cleaning
I’ve been reading up on fleas. Medicating the cats is only half the battle. The affected carpet and bedding needed to be cleaned too. I was already doing laundry today so I threw Ben’s couch blankets through the wash. I also moved a bunch of furniture and deep cleaned the living room carpet. I had…

Counseling 9 1 26
I had a counseling appointment today. Stephanie and I are still on speaking terms so she gave me a ride to it when she picked up Ben. My counselor and I mostly talked about the upcoming divorce. Stephanie has exactly 3 months to change her mind and change mine. All the paperwork is signed and…

Cassette Player
My mom got me a brand new cassette player to go with the record player she got me last month. I only have a few cassettes so I need to improve my collection. As with any piece of electronics Ben had to try it. He loves this one. Cassettes and cassette players are super durable…

Cleaning Supplies
Over the past few weeks I’ve been cleaning house. I bought a handheld stain vacuum. Calling it a vacuum is not very accurate but as long as there isn’t anything solid in the way it will remove stains in carpet. I have successfully gotten the worst ones already. I have also consolidated all the liquid…

Tiles
There were loose tiles in behind our front door. They bugged me but I wanted someone else to fix the problem. I have for some time considered asking some of my handier friends if they would take a look. While I was thinking about it I found an old bottle of Loctite Tite Foam. I…

Handful of Glass
Alex just came out of his room and presented me with a handful of broken glass and the remains of the base of a glitter globe. I disposed of the glass and made him wash his hands to get the glitter off. He does not appear to be harmed. Stephanie says this has happened before…

White Noise
I detest white noise. There is almost always a fan on somewhere in the house. Everyone was gone for a few hours today and I turned all of them off. I sleep better the more silent the room is. Ben sleeps with a fan. When his door is shut I can barely hear it. Stephanie…

Bleach
Today is garbage and recycling day. Every week I have to get a week’s worth of poop out of the house into the bins. Today our diaper can had maggots on the lid. A lot of maggots. I was not about to play around with that. I took a bottle of bleach and poured it…
