Life is starting to normalize after the princess’ sickness, she’s doing better and back in daycare. Thankfully the younger princess is very chill and gives us a chance to rest. It’s amazing how different the two of them can be in terms of loudness, though the elder has begun to sing her ABC’s and TwinkleContinue reading “22 October 2024”

17 October 2024

It’s been a long week, my elder princess caught hand, foot and mouth disease at daycare last week. She did a wonderful job recovering and went back today. Spending more time with her has been nice and the kids grow up so fast that she’s practically a different child from the last time she wasContinue reading “17 October 2024”

Building Momentum

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. Ideally I’ll be writing at least three times a week, everyday will be subject to change for a couple months. Putting in the effort to write whenever I canContinue reading “New Beginnings: Balancing Baby, Creativity, and Returning to Routine”

11 September 2024

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”

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”
