Her Day Off
Saturdays are Stephanie’s day off from caregiving. I mean technically we are both “on call” for the children 24/7, but there are certain days we don’t bill, and it’s the other person’s responsibility unless there’s an emergency. Today is my day to work and to bill and her day to sleep. Theoretically anyway. We were…

Diet Pepsi
I have a friend who counts on me for some of her support. One of the things we do about once a month is go grocery shopping. She stocks up all at once. One of the things she gets is cases of Diet Pepsi. The cases with thirty six cans. Four cases usually. She’s a…

Today’s AriZona RxEnergy
I slept pretty well last night, but still want caffeine and sugar to wake completely up. So I’m sipping on an RxEnergy. It’s a guilty pleasure because it’s not a healthy breakfast. My youngest requested a bath so he’s soaking. His older brother is ready for his day program. And both of my sons on…

Objective Truth
I said and written it many times. I often argue that objective truth exists but that you shouldn’t take my word for it. I certainly won’t be taking yours at any rate. Stay Weird! Stay Awesome! Build your destiny!

Spooky Season
Bear with me. All Saints Day (November 1st) begins the Christmas Season. The Christmas season runs until about Valentine’s Day (February 14th) After that Comes Saint Patrick’s Day and Easter. The Easter season runs from Valentine’s Day to Independence Day (July 4th). July 5th, and I am sure of this, starts Spooky Season which runs…

Another Day
Each day is a new opportunity to do better, but lets be honest, doing better is a case of three steps forward two steps back. And sometimes that third step takes more effort than the rest of the week. So I sit here and type on my phone about getting better without actually getting better.…
