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…

McDonald’s Chicken Nuggets
I got a refund today and it was enough to get tacos for Stephanie and McDonald’s for Ben and me. He always gets their chicken nuggets. I watched as he opened up the box and then two of the BBQ packets. He set the box down neatly in the lid of the box and dipped…

Am I Helping?
My homeless friend came again today. He got his replacement ID. I didn’t look but it probably still has my address on it. We talked and he, Ben, and I listened to Weird Al. While the song foil was playing he talked about someone who he was sure knew everything about the Illuminati. He said…

Cat House
Stephanie got the cats a two story house. They all liked it until Ben started messing with them in it. It’s very light and he dumped Ether out of it. The two of them don’t have a healthy relationship. Ben grabbed him earlier and Ether put a gash in his hand. If Ben fights with…
