It takes time to get the ball rolling, once there’s momentum things go easier. My initial estimate was to write three times a week and it looks like I’ll only get two this week. There was some exercise last night, but it feels like I haven’t done a workout this week. If I’m lucky I’llContinue reading “Building Momentum”

Navigating Newborn Care and Unexpected Challenges
Here’s a weird scenario I never expected myself to be in. We have something called a duala, not to be confused with a dually, a truck with double back tires. A duala or some similar sounding word is basically a mid wife, maybe the resume would have differences but to me it’s a stranger whoContinue reading “Navigating Newborn Care and Unexpected Challenges”
Podcast Comeback, Crowns, and Creative Progress
My return to the podcast has been recorded, I got a new crown for this new saga of the show, it’s smaller than my old one and was very painful while recording. Most of what we said I can’t even remember because my brain was being squeezed. In the future I’ll figure out something toContinue reading “Podcast Comeback, Crowns, and Creative Progress”
Juggling Babies, Tantrums, and Small Wins
Last night might have been the first night in a month I’ve gotten a little over three hours of sleep straight, it felt good for a minute waking up at 2 AM to feed the baby until after that everything was a mess. I’m not sure the baby actually went to sleep for the restContinue reading “Juggling Babies, Tantrums, and Small Wins”
New Beginnings: Balancing Baby, Creativity, and Returning to Routine
Time to shake the rust off, today is the baby’s one month doctor’s appointment and now I’ll begin the process of getting into my old habits.

Putting in the effort to write whenever I canContinue reading “New Beginnings: Balancing Baby, Creativity, and Returning to Routine”

I figured it would be good to write an update on how things are going. We had our new baby girl a little earlier than planned and everyone is doing well. We’ve settled into newborn life at home and I’m happy to report it’s been what I expected. The biggest impediment is disturbed sleep, butContinue reading “11 September 2024”
Wrecking and Rapping ep 27
14 August 2024
I was telling my Queen that I’m a lost boy, during this quiet time I don’t have anything that needs to be done and it makes sense to rest as much as possible. Without a purpose I am lost, I could make new purposes to fill the time, but they’ll be abandoned in a coupleContinue reading “14 August 2024”

At daycare they do some art with the kids or maybe it’s always available and when a kid makes something they hang it up. When passing by I had noticed my princess’ name on a couple pieces and yesterday I remember to asked about them. We came home with a short stake of master piecesContinue reading “13 August 2024”

The family visit went well and it’s always good when my princess gets to see her cousins. She was excited to see a big kid and was surprisingly influenced by him even though in some sense it was a new person. Youths are impressionable at any age, the cousin would do something and immediately myContinue reading “12 August 2024”
