Desk Lamp
Stephanie and I took the boys to Target for Christmas. I got a desk lamp and have effectively lit my keyboard.

Work from Home
Because Stephanie and I work from home things can and often do go smoothly without us going anywhere. This is very helpful with her being perpetually sick and me not driving. Taking care of our autistic boys has all our eggs in one basket though. Our middle child did so well on his last evaluation…

Long Friggin Day
I woke up very early this morning, but I’m in a good mood because I also had a lot of coffee and two micro doses of THC. I am caffeinated and mellow and posting here is the last daily habit to check off. The morning started slowly. Magic jumped into my lap, purred, and groomed…

Autism can be Violent
Most days I like the idea of having more kids. Today is not one of those days. I used to tell them, “No blood, no bruises? Drive on!” This week there have been blood and bruises. My kids are not inherently violent but they are also not inherently good at regulating themselves so that they…

Free Markets and Losers
Stephanie and I are arguing about capitalism again. We are both bad at making and saving money. She doesn’t see that as a problem while I do. And she keeps saying I argue that “Capitalism is true.” I think it’s a strawman. My argument is that capitalism is effective in producing things that I desire,…

I didn’t want anything poisonous or bone breaking in the house. Stephanie believed I was going to release the mouse outside. But it would have just squeezed back into…

Fancy Almond Cake
It’s midnight and I’m eating a layered cake made with almond flour. It’s really good and Stephanie can even share it with me because almond flour is gluten free. When you take the gluten out of wheat it tastes unnatural and wrong. But if you start with something like almonds that didn’t have any gluten…

Four in the Morning
It’s too dang early for me to be awake. It’s too dang early for me to start arguing online. And I really shouldn’t have Little Debbie’s for breakfast. Yet here I am with lights mostly off typing away and eating an oatmeal cream pie. I am an unrepentant sinner. Not sorry at the moment for…

Non Player Characters
Stephanie has left us to go on an adventure. I am home with our two sons. I can’t help feeling like a non player character when I am left to guard the children and the house. I won’t be as productive with other stuff today because the kids come first. But things are good so…
