Not Enough Caffeine in the World
It’s 11:20am and I still haven’t slept. I’ve had several big cups of coffee but mostly the caffeine is just making me shaky right now. Don’t get me wrong I’m still not particularly tired even though I’ve been awake for a little over 24 hours, it’s just that I’m moving into spacier territory. I obviously…

The Morning After
Yesterday was a good day. I took my new insurance card to the clinic, I had a good hamburger with my wife for lunch, I got my prescription medication, I cleaned house, I played with the cat (a lot), I made some art (well you know that), I played my games and socialized on my…

Diapers, and Lightbulbs, and Boys! Oh My!
It’s way too early in the morning for me to be so awake. This is becoming more typical. My youngest son asked for a diaper so I got out of bed. I changed him and he really needed it. His brother was hovering so I changed him too even though he did not really need…

Merry Monday
Today has been better so far. My youngest woke me up early for a diaper that he really needed, but I was able to fall back asleep. I’ve been awake for a couple of hours now and there have not been any crisis or meltdowns. I did accidentally step on the cat. She has been…

Like a Rock
After being awake for 36 hours I slept like a rock. I’m still kinda groggy. I just can’t party like I used to do. But I’m awake again and trying to stay active. Fortunately I don’t have any responsibilities beyond the boys today. On the upside I got the ten pack of stickers with my…

Early Sunday
It’s too early to be awake and I’ve already been up for two hours. I’m still planning on going to church today, but it seems like such a long way off at this point. The house is quiet and my thoughts are spinning. They aren’t wildly out of control at the moment. They’re just at…

Groggy
I slept hard and late and woke up groggy. I probably would have tried to stay in bed longer, but I need to get ready for Walgreens. My wife has had more time to herself since I started billing for the boys, so she took care of them completely while I slept this morning. But…

Lightbulb, Diaper, Bath
It’s a little early in the morning for me to be awake. My youngest likes to get up early and turn on all the lights. The primary problem with his routine is that as often as not one of those lights is burnt out. Today he was very calm when he asked for a new…

The Crack Before Dawn
It’s too early in the morning for me to be awake once again. It’s that Saturday morning energy. My work week starts tomorrow so I should have time to recalibrate today. Hopefully I’ll be appropriately awake for that. I have an Elders Quorum Presidency zoom meeting in 13 hours. I’ll have to stay alert until…
