I have been having a minor failure in sleep lately. I am working on it… If you accept ‘working on it’ as ‘grumbling about it, occasionally drugging myself, and contemplating in a not particularly directional way talking to my doctor about the headaches that have still not gone away’. It has a sort of interesting […]

This is very… special. Anybody under thirty should maybe only be allowed to watch the first thirty seconds. Anybody older… well, grit your teeth through the excessive cuteness. You can do it. Monkeys wearing pantaloons! Cats in hats! And then… well. And then.

Paul S: I’ve made four attempts to build this next hinge. Me: How’s it going? Paul S: …I’ve made four attempts to build this next hinge. I wrote a bunch of stuff while I was sick and now I’m not sure what to do with it. Some of it’s kind of at a higher emotional […]

Me: I’ve finished the washing. I feel like I’ve accomplished something with the day. Paul S: Well that’s good. Me: Yes. Don’t argue. This week has been something of an exercise in frustration.
