Handful of Glass
Alex just came out of his room and presented me with a handful of broken glass and the remains of the base of a glitter globe. I disposed of the glass and made him wash his hands to get the glitter off. He does not appear to be harmed. Stephanie says this has happened before…

White Noise
I detest white noise. There is almost always a fan on somewhere in the house. Everyone was gone for a few hours today and I turned all of them off. I sleep better the more silent the room is. Ben sleeps with a fan. When his door is shut I can barely hear it. Stephanie…

Loving Her

He helped himself to Ben’s chicken nuggets which set Ben off. Raven/Rick/Ricky is going by the alias River now. He had…

Paperwork
I am a mess when it comes to paperwork. I just can’t focus on it properly to get it right. Stephanie recently served me divorce papers. It should come as no surprise to anyone that she would not help me fill them out. Fortunately my sister and her husband helped me go through them. Sadly…
