Ugh… Pharmacy
Tonight pharmacy got hairy by the end. There were only three of us for the last hour and a half and a steady stream of customers. I still left a little after eight even though there was so much left to do. I went shopping and soon will have a couple of burritos. I have…

Awake on Sunday
I set two alarms for church on the Sundays that I intend to go. I got up between the first and second one. This is not usually the case. I roll back over after the first and second and try to get a little more sleep until I have maybe twenty minutes left to get…

Comfy Chair
I set up the den with two chairs side by side so I can have deep one on one conversations. My dad and both of my oldest sons have each shared the seats with me once. But the two that really like to sit with me are my middle son who is completely nonverbal and…

Pharmacy Forever
Well, maybe not forever. Since I’m working with my sons so much more I’m down to two days a week at Walgreens. Those two days are likely to be devoted to the pharmacy rather than the floor for the foreseeable future. My biggest problems with that are of course lack of confidence and the need…

Loving Her
It’s another late night that has turned into an early morning. I sit in the den as I do sometimes contemplating the combination of love and stress in my life. In particular right now I’m thinking about how I can make my wife’s life less stressful without being overwhelmed in mine. I’ve been loving her…

Broke and Tired but Loved
I’m tired of being broke and wouldn’t be broke if I weren’t so tired. But I will keep working at life. I will take care of my family, I will go to Walgreens, I will make art, I will write, and I will spread as much peace, joy and love to all of you as…
