Last night I hit a wall, metaphorically. I had a mental break, but am alright now. In the American South we’ve got freezing temperatures and I’m a fire sign. First call yesterday was some screams at 6 AM and at 6:30 the little princess was crying too. The extra holiday activities like decorating and assemblingContinue reading “3 December 2025”

Last night was weird, the elder princess is getting older and with that comes staying up later at night. We’re still trying to figure out where her sweet spot in time is and the best approach to get her to sleep at a new time, there’s also the looming of adjustment of day lights savingContinue reading “15 October 2025”

A new week, a new day, a new me? Not really, though I’m a little refreshed. Saturday morning the little princess had very interrupted sleep. Over the weekend I decided to move my piano and guitar out of the garage. The garage is my man cave area where all my hobbies go, except it’s veryContinue reading “28 July 2025”

This morning I exercised, doing stationary bike and lifting weight. My weight collection finally has everything I need, there’s always room for improvement. A second set of 45 lbs plates would cover the heaviest weight I’ll ever use and my heavy bags still need hanging. My main fitness goal is losing weight, but thanks toContinue reading “23 July 2025”

Most of yesterday was spent dealing with the podcast drama. I’m still pretty sick and not doing much, one bright thing is that it’s been raining almost non stop. I like the rain and so does my elder princess. After requesting for awhile to go outside, despite not having pants on, we got dressed forContinue reading “10 December 2024”

I’m re-entering baby mode and the baby is learning daddy time ain’t no joke, we got work to do. First thing this morning I had the little princess help with planting the new grape vines, she could hardly move a bag of soil and I got the small ones. Without much help I got theContinue reading “13 November 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”

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”

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”

The last of the tall grass got cut yesterday, the photo is of the area after it was cut since I like the contrast of green grass where it’s been cut regularly versus yellow and brown of a lot of dead grass. Today I did a little cardio exercise and it’s rough to get started.Continue reading “6 August 2024”
