  • TV looks fake!

    I’ve been watching shows from the 80s for which I have grown nostalgic. Old grainy film. Real costumes. Stephanie is watching new TV shows. And they just look fake to me. For all the miracles of modern technology I don’t think CGI is among them. It just lacks the charm of stop motion and claymation.…

  • Too Much Caffeine

    Stephanie drinks a lot of caffeine because it helps with her ADHD. Sometimes I am foolish enough to try to keep up. In the past 24 hours I have had too much caffeine. I am shaky. There’s not a lot I can do but wait until it is out of my system. I took a…

  • Stacks of Books

    Alex is sitting across the room from me in the easy chair. He had taken all the books off the shelf next to him and made a pile in his lap taller than his head. He loves stacks of books. He has many. Some of them become his permanently. This one probably won’t. Oddly enough…

  • Jesus’s Birthday

    The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was founded on April 6th, 1830. While it is not canonical, some Mormons including myself believe this happened on Jesus’s Birthday. The Christmas date just makes less and less sense to me as time goes on. Why were shepards in the field with their flocks in…

  • Peacemakers

    The Prophet wants me to be a peacemaker. He wants me to stop being contentious and using foul language. But mostly he wants me to worship Jesus Christ. Even on Easter I don’t feel particularly Christian. The verse of the day was John 3:16 and it’s not much comfort. I keep asking myself, “Do I…

  • Logging Out

    Most sites on the internet make it too easy to stay logged in. It is convenient and for anything that doesn’t seem particularly sensitive I don’t care. But there are a few sites that I want to remain logged out of on my phone. If the phone is lost or stolen, I want it to…

  • Good Friday 26

    It is Good Friday so my anti Lent vow to not quote the Bible is over. I have quoted the Bible today, but I have also quoted the Book of Mormon and the Quran. “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4 KJV “Behold, they will crucify him; and after he…

  • Pica

    Eating things that aren’t food is called pica. I ate paper as a child. I swallowed string. I did some serious damage to my digestive system eating mint flavored toothpicks. Ben inherited pica from me. I saw him picking at a cardboard box and putting tiny scraps in his mouth a few days ago. Yesterday…

  • Just a Wednesday

    This morning I got a call while my phone was in sleep mode to let me know that Alex’s day program is on hold until everyone gets the Medicaid paperwork in place. Maybe he’ll go back tomorrow maybe it will take a month. I didn’t see the voicemail or the text until after my alarm…

  • A Cataract Orange

    I had my compressive eye exam. No glaucoma, and no macular degeneration. My left eye however has level 4 out of 4 cataracts and I am eligible for surgery. They did not change my prescription because if I do get cataract work the new prescription would be useless afterwards. The good doctor described the procedure…
