In my 20’s any sort of ailment was healed after a couple days. It’s probably a week since I first got sick, the worst was the first couple days and I’ve been dealing with mucus production since then. Taking some Sudafed yesterday helped dry up the mucus and hours after taking the medicine I didContinue reading “28 August 2025”

Then starting sometime after 6 she was up again and something kept banging against my bedroom window, by 6:30 the elder princess was screaming in bed and the morning had begun. There was a small issue when IContinue reading “27 August 2025”

Every new desire brings along unforeseen responsibilities. Yesterday I was waxing my armor and was thinking how meditative the activity is, swirling a towel in circles, making sure each area gets covered. There’s a lot of oddly satisfying videos of similar jobs, like pressure washing is a good example of watching a job gradually getContinue reading “26 August 2025”

With the princess starting daycare, the whole family quickly got sick and it’s been a struggle to make it through the day even without extracurriculars. All day the kids want to be held, and so do the adults. Being sick I consider a low point and it makes me question my life not only becauseContinue reading “25 August 2025”

As we’re feeling rested, more improvement will happen which also requires more rest, especially in the beginning days of change. Laundry even got done yesterday, I don’t know why it feels like a bigContinue reading “19 August 2025”

They call it being the bigger man, but always feels like settling. I’m supposed to forgive everyone and when they don’t even apologize, how’s that fair? It’s not and it’s not supposed to be fair, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Being able to apologize or forgive without confrontation makes us stronger. My egoContinue reading “15 August 2025”

We made it back from New Orleans, so was Chrisfest a success? Sure in the sense that we made it there and back. Old friends and groups coming together is complicated scenario that will take time to unpack, I haven’t even physically unpacked my bags. One friend was asked to leave for disorderly conduct, soContinue reading “14 August 2025”

The down side of a neighborhood is any time I step out the door I’m likely to run into someone. At the end of the day my dog is wining to go for a walk, two days ago I crossed paths with the owners of two poodles. The humans were nice though the poodles wereContinue reading “6 August 2025”

Last night was a little sweaty, at some point the AC went out. Living in old houses up until now has been nice because if this happens we can open up the windows and they’re designed for air flow. Our current house is air tight which helps the HVAC system, but now feels like IContinue reading “5 August 2025”
