Refresh The Litter Boxes
We have three cats. They have three litter boxes. There is one on each floor. Unfortunately the doors don’t stay open upstairs or to the basement. So most of the time the cats have effectively one litter box. If I only change it on garbage day they shit on the floor. They have been shitting…

Building Chairs
We got a big box today with all the parts for five chairs. Stephanie buys furniture in the mail and they ship it with “some assembly required.” I was able to put together all five chairs in one try. They are too large for our little black table unless we pull it out to use…

Cold Pricklies
Stephanie and I are in a long term argument about whether I argue too much. When I was little I had a book that taught me about giving people warm fuzzies and not giving them cold pricklies. It, like most of my childhood, created a very unrealistic expectation of my capabilities as an adult. I…

No New Snow
Today has been a quiet day in the house. Stephanie allowed me to sleep in except for the times that Ben did not. My extended family is dealing with city crippling snow storms. Today it didn’t snow here. The gratitude is real.

The Sweetest Thing
Brandon and William came over tonight. Brandon’s girlfriend LeeAnn was with The four boys, Stephanie, and me. Ben had a very hard time watching the movie with us but he let it play when everybody else did. After everyone went home I asked Ben if he had fun with Brandon and Will? He answered “love…

Another Good Day
I’m good. I didn’t need to get dressed today. I took a shower and got right into clean jammies. William did his laundry this evening. We had hamburgers and shared with my homeless friend Raven. He agreed to do dishes which was helpful. Things are quiet again and I finished my last beer.
