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…

Bedtime Requests
Ben knows I won’t give him pills and light off before 9pm. He’s been watching the clock to get his meds as soon as I’m willing to give them to him. He gets up early, and if he gets pills too early then he gets up too early. Alex has been noticing the pattern. Ben…

Deep Breaths
I’m taking deep breaths while Ben screams and Stephanie hides in her room with the cats. I am doing a good job remaining calm if I don’t say so myself. Ben is not calming down so he’s had emergency meds. He wants a soda. He has to be calm first. Sadly calm sometimes just means…

Day of Rest
I slept in this morning… like way in. Nobody died. My sinuses hurt so I took some Naproxen, Benadryl, THC, CBD, and Migraine Meds. It’s that kind of day. I expect to be totally useless. Hopefully today will not require anything that requires motivation. I still had to change a diaper. There are so many…

Sanitized and Autotuned
The world is less lively than it was when I was a child. It is cleaner and safer. The demands of living are more predictable. At least the ones from out there. I have a certain nostalgia though to a time that was dirtier and more dangerous. When I was a kid I could ride…

Held off fasting
I was supposed to have a meeting at seven so I held off fasting. The meeting got moved to nine, so ate again. I only just now took my pills and am waiting for Doordash.
