Saturday “Fun”
This morning there was an early knock on the door. It was the artist formerly named Raven (the homeless dude I sometimes talk about). I let him in and went upstairs to get dressed. He helped himself to Ben’s chicken nuggets which set Ben off. Raven/Rick/Ricky is going by the alias River now. He had…

Dysregulated
Everyone has been dysregulated since the coffee and Final Fantasy earlier this week. I don’t think it’s going to kill us but everyone has been yelling bloody murder at me so in this case I may be wrong. I am starting to catastrophize like the rest of the family. We need each other and if…

Party
I used to be able to party. Now it dysregulates me. I find arguing politics on line fun, so I still endorse The American Solidarity Party of Wisconsin. That’s a good party.

Read a Book
A few days ago I replaced the charging cords on Alex’s Kindles. Since then he has not touched either one. I disrupted his routine and now the routine seems to be gone. He doesn’t really know what to do with himself so he’s been wandering the house more. That is probably better for him than…

The whole story
About two weeks ago one of the breakers tripped and Ben started asking for lightbulbs. When I realized it was the breaker not the bulbs, I tried to switch it on, but it kept breaking. Ben was furious but it was nine at night and we had to sedate him to stop screaming. We also…

Dumping Soda
Ben came home from respite dysregulated. He was not done at the park and requested it multiple times in the past few hours. He sat in the car to protest that we are not taking him anywhere. He requested a bath and got one. He has requested the Soda Fairy and gotten that. Sadly he…

Broken Breaker
Tonight as he often does Ben requested a light bulb. Stephanie changed the one that dysregulated him but it did not turn back on. As I examined the situation I noticed that several other lights were out. I went down and one of the breakers in our electrical box had tripped. I switched it back…

Today was Hard
My youngest son started screaming this morning. I don’t know why. I gave him his morning pills and that helped for a while. But his dysregulation returned pretty quickly. He was screaming again an hour later and got an emergency pill. He went out to sit in the car, honked the horn for a few…

Black Cat on a Friday Night
It’s 10 pm and Ether is still outside. That always concerns Stephanie and me a bit. But tonight in particular Ben is anxious that the cat is out. He doesn’t like the cats outside but has come to accept it during the day. But at night they all need to be inside for him to…

Tired
It was a long weekend. Our youngest has been loud, angry, and aggressive since Friday when we told him he couldn’t have DoorDash. He screamed for hours because he doesn’t understand our finances at all and doesn’t care why he can’t get what he wants. Stephanie ended up taking him to Urgent Care, and he…
