Daily Prompt 3/18/23
What do you wish you could do more every day? I wish I could get out of my head a little more every day. Sometimes I ruin my own day thinking too hard about the past or something I’ve lost that I wish I still had. And then I feel sad. No one wants to…

I don’t think it’s going to be ok
There is a shortage of adderall. There has been for about 6 months or so. Up until last month this shortage didn’t affect me much, sometimes I just had to wait a day or two for it to be filled. It wasn’t a big deal until last month, when my wife had to call around…

Hard conversation…wrapped up
I had that conversation this morning and it went…surprisingly well. I wasn’t nervous at all, even while we were talking. I was able to say pretty much everything on my list, some of it casually and other things directly. It was all taken well and I think things will go ok. What I was most…

Women’s Sports
It’s really funny to me how there’s suddenly so many defenders of women’s sports…men that never once cared about women’s sports and likely spoke out against the US National Women’s Team wanting equal pay. “Why should women expect to get paid as much as the men’s team, which brings in more money??” How dare they!…

Write a letter to your 100-year-old self. Dear Self, I bet you never thought you could live this long, did you? How do you feel? Is getting old as bad as Grandma said it would be? Haha, I wish we could’ve done this the other way around, with you telling me what to do and…

Disappointment and Pain
Boy #3 had a hard day. Since we moved here, he has impressed everyone with his math skills. He’s done well on all the standardized testing and gotten straight As. Last year he even won a trophy at the math competition for second place in the mental math category. He was really eager to compete…
