Up Late
My sleep hygiene says I need to be in bed by 11 pm. My mobile game says I need to start the new day at 11 pm. The game usually wins. I’ve also got Alex’s Kindle to turn off at 11 pm. I’ve decided that it is not fair to make him change into a…

Quiet Night
The boys are in bed. I logged out of No Man’s Sky. I’ve taken my meds and need to eat. At 11p my phone shuts off for the night. That is also when Forge of Empires changes to a new day, so I stay up a little past my bedtime every night to put the…

Airing the House
We’ve been running the new air conditioner everyday for several weeks. Today I turned it off, opened windows, and turned on the house fan. We needed the air and it was cool enough outside that the house didn’t get hot and muggy from the change. I should probably close everything up before I go to…

Sick in Bed
I spent most of the morning and some of the afternoon sick in bed. I still got Alex to his day program. Both he and Ben baths and pills. I listened for Ben’s noises but mostly he has been happy today. I also got the garbage and recycling to the curb. I still need to…

Headache
I stayed awake for 32 hours on purpose and now I have a headache. I need to wait a little while to take my psych meds and go to bed. I am not as young as I used to be.

The Soda Fairy at 2 am
We ration soda in the house. We have convinced Ben that if he wants a can he has to wait in his room until I can talk to the soda fairy. At about two in the morning he came into my room and said, “Soda Fairy, please.” I told him he had to wait until…

Plushies
My youngest son has 20 or 30 stuffed and plastic animals that he keeps on his bed. Some of them are big and they cover almost the whole bed. He has so many plushies that he can’t sleep properly in the bed now. So… he fell asleep in my bed. I cleared his bed and…

Diaper Please
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like? I usually wake up to that request. I also sometimes hear light bulb please and chicken nuggets please. That is a typical morning. Sometimes I pee first. When my adult autistic son is satisfied I usually crawl back into bed.…

Up Late
I stayed up late last night. I slept in late today. At a little after noon I hurried out of bed and got dressed so I could take the garbage to the curb before the truck came. As I was putting on my socks my wife informed me that garbage is delayed this week because…
