Stephanie Day Off
Stephanie and I have agreed that she needs at least one day off a week from taking care of the children. Saturdays are her day off and my day to do all the supportive home care. It’s still a pretty typical day for the kids. My youngest wanted a bath first thing in the morning.…

Feeling Groovie
I slept for 4 hours, woke up for an hour and a half, took 5 mg of DTHC9, fell back asleep for another six, had another 5 mg, and am mellow and alert. The funny thing is that I haven’t had any caffeine.

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.…

Saying No
How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? My artistic aspirations require time which I do not always give them. I would like to be more financially secure and that means saying No to spending. I am not always good in either of those regards. I also have an…
