Perseverating on God
Perseverate:(verb, intransitive, chiefly psychology) To persist in doing something; to continue to repeat an action after the original stimulus has ended. I am on the autism spectrum. One of the things about most of us is that we perseverate on things. Some autistics perseverate on Legos, or trains, or scripts from movies and songs. I…

Struggle and Gratitude
I have been saying “The struggle is real but so is the gratitude” a lot lately. It is my own phrase though in the end it will probably be misattributed to Aristotle or Confucius. But I’ll spell out what it means to me right now in this moment. The word struggle is deeply tied to…

Bins and Boxes and a Cat
I’ve been cleaning up more than usual today. I picked up Alex’s floor which is a bigger task than it sounds. I cleaned all three litter boxes because they really needed it since I’ve been putting it off. I took the diaper garbage to the bins and the bins to the curb. I even took…

Little Debbie’s Oatmeal Cream Pies
We have an easy chair in the living room and next to the chair I have maintained a box of Little Debbie’s Oatmeal Cream Pies. They are not my favorite treat but for about the last year the boys have left them alone. Sadly our middle son Alex decided that they were his today. He…

Stimulants and Stimming
The weekend was rougher on me than I would have liked it to be. It’s weird that I can’t drink three beers without get headache and nausea. I’m not as young as I used to be. It knocked me out. All the caffeine and sugar in the world didn’t properly wake me up yesterday. But…

I slept hard and have been dysregulated today. So is everyone else today. Stephanie didn’t sleep. We’re having trouble keeping Ben in the house.…

Super Villain Dream
I dreamed that the super heroes had failed the world and that the last one (played by Scott Bakula) was being tortured to power an evil invention. He had cosmic levels of electrical powers and was strapped by onto a giant slingshot. When the villains released the spring he was shot along a rail that…

A Plumber and a Pill
Today my dad called a plumber to find out why our upstairs bathroom is leaking. The plumber got here before my dad did so I showed him how the problem is affecting all three levels of the house. The plumber went to work. He took things apart. He ran water in the tub he was…

Laryngitis
Today my throat hurts. It’s tight and it’s achy. It’s hard to talk and even harder to eat. So I’m typing out my thoughts. I don’t get sick very often. I’ve gotten as much sleep as I can for now. I’ll power through this one. There’s always work to do, and Stephanie is always sicker…

Art Career
I was talking about my art with my oldest son. I lamented that it is not a career. You see I buy more of my own art than everyone else combined. I have an art hobby not an art career. Obviously if I was only doing it to make money I wouldn’t spend as much…
