Boy #1
Things are starting to fall into place for him. He found out today that he has been accepted into a pre-mortuary sciences program about three or so hours from where we live. What a huge relief. Not that I didn’t believe in him and not that I didn’t think he could do it. But it…

People I admire and look to for advice…this is a moving target for me because my life is such a strange collection of completely different things, the list grows and shrinks as time goes on. But no matter what, my number one is my wife. I admire her for a million and one different reasons…

One very focused day
For some reason today, I was ON IT. I love days like this. I got a ton done around the house, including things that would’ve been weekend projects if I hadn’t done them today. The morning started with the bath fitter guy coming to replace the bent shower rod. Funny story…Boy #3 likes to play…

Daily Prompt 4/1/23
Pre-pandemic life was me working in the Air Force, in the office 99.9% of the time, drained, desperately needing help, married, and unable to take any medication or get any assistance for ADHD, PTSD nightmares, or anxiety. Now I am married to someone amazing who loves me and treats well, I live in a completely…
