Stephanie Yells
Stephanie is yelling at me about genocide again. There’s nothing I can do about it if it’s actually happening. I’m uninformed. She’s yelling at me about that too. There are lies, damn lies, and statistics. She passed her statistics class. I didn’t. She reads way more than I ever will. Such is my lot in…

My Health Starts with Me
I saw the nurse practitioner who prescribes my psych meds yesterday. No changes on that front, but she did order a blood draw. I walked to the hospital to get the work done today because Stephanie wasn’t up to driving and my health starts with me. It went smoothly but the results came back with…

I’m not feeling quite right again and Stephanie let me sleep and did most of the bins herself. I had a particularly weird dream but all I remember from it was stuffed potatoes with a swervey line of chocolate on each one.

He’s technically my boss
Stephanie and I are in a peculiar situation. Alex and Ben are technically our employers. Lutheran Social Services manages the plans, and Premier is in charge of timesheets, but the boys are officially who we are both responsible to and for. So if you ever want to complain about your boss remember that mine says…

My Valentine 26
Stephanie let me sleep today. I have only been awake for three hours and it’s already time to blog. Not much has happened yet. I didn’t get her a Valentine’s Day present. Perhaps I should do better.

Life with Autism
I have four sons. They are all adults now. The oldest is from a woman I never married. When she got pregnant she asked about an abortion and I gave her a fast and firm no. She broke off the relationship but kept the child. We have over the years mostly been civil. Brandon is…
