Cats and Mice
This morning Stephanie went to let one of our cats out and stepped on something by the front door. She let out a tiny panic noise because it was a dead mouse. Well technically it was half of a dead mouse because the cat who had killed it ate the head. Much to her chagrin…

Go For A Walk?
I used to like long walks. So much so that I would occasionally take them in the night in the rain. Part of that was out of necessity. I have never had a driver’s license. I know I’d get someone killed. The sidewalks are safer when I’m on them without a car. But over the…

Cooking Tonight
I used to really like cooking. For a long time the best meals I could get were the ones I made myself. Restaurants are expensive. Generally they make better food than I do, but when I’ve been broke I have been able to make decent food. Stephanie buys bags of frozen and refrigerated meat. Chicken…

Space Walk

Calendars
Tonight I changed my son’s diaper, gave him his pills, turned off his light, and said Goodnight. About ten minutes later he walked into my room holding my Stephanie’s calendar. You probably know it’s turned September half an hour ago. He insists that the calendars be changed before he goes to bed on the eve…

So Far So Good
I got a decent night’s sleep. I got the boys dosed, fed and one of them out the door. I got some stock art approved. I’ve played my mobile games and am having some coffee. I’ve got to make a phone call today (yuck) and read some of Stephanie’s poetry (yay). It should continue to…
