Last night, I had the craziest dream. I dreamt I had another baby, a boy. Annika was so excited to have a baby around and immediately asked when I was going to have another one, like it's just a regular thing with me. Anders was super helpful. Annika is so persistent though, that I remember … Continue reading May 12: I don’t even know anymore

April 22: Another Day, Another Mass Shooting
James Shaw, Jr is a hero. He hit a guy armed with an AR-15 with a swinging door, then wrestled the gun away from him, in the process severely burning his hand and likely saving the lives of many people in a Waffle House. Based on his press conference, he doesn't seem to like the … Continue reading April 22: Another Day, Another Mass Shooting
April 21: It’s hard to write when nothing happens
Not much happened today, which is good because I'm still recovering from the stupid virus I had and from not getting much sleep during the end of the week. My guts are rolling around again, so I haven't been able to do much aside from lay around, do a few chores, read, and sleep. That … Continue reading April 21: It’s hard to write when nothing happens
April 19: Weird Things Keep Me Up At Night
Last night I didn't sleep very well because I woke up thinking about how Donald Trump is just like Johnny Friendly in On the Waterfront. Johnny is a mob boss who is always talking about how he likes people who are tough and he surrounds himself with big, burly guys. He talks about loyalty and … Continue reading April 19: Weird Things Keep Me Up At Night
April 16: My ears are inverted or something
My ears are popped or congested or something. I've tried everything: decongestants, irrigation, yawning, swallowing, pulling on it, shaking my head (just ended up dizzy), blowing my nose... all the tricks I know and that the internet knows. As a result, I seem to have lost 75% of my hearing. This is frustrating Annika to … Continue reading April 16: My ears are inverted or something
April 15: Snow and Sick Day
St. Paul cancelled school for tomorrow. Seeing the weather outside, I would say it was a really good choice, because the roads are terrible. I'm still sick with a stupid cold, so I'm staying home tomorrow and having a sub. I'm really disappointed, to be honest, because I don't want to miss a day, but … Continue reading April 15: Snow and Sick Day
April 14: Snowmageddon – April edition
It was an old fashioned blizzard! We were dumb enough to run an errand in the early afternoon when it didn't seem that bad. It was. It was really bad. Or at least it got really bad. It wasn't super cold so the snow would bunch up on the windshield wipers so we couldn't see … Continue reading April 14: Snowmageddon – April edition
April 11: Sick again. Snow again. Whatever.
My throat hurts. I'm tired. I am sniffly and stuffy. I'm not in any shape to think straight or write coherently. It's supposed to snow again. Some models are saying a lot. If I wasn't sick feeling, I might be more upbeat about it, but I feel crappy, so I just want to eat deep … Continue reading April 11: Sick again. Snow again. Whatever.
April 7: Giant Fish
I was surfing around on the ol' social media and came across a video of a guy in a kayak catching an 8 foot sturgeon in Idaho. I was super excited to show Dak, but he was pretty unimpressed. I got kind of frustrated, because, here was a guy in a kayak catching a fish … Continue reading April 7: Giant Fish
March 18: A few things
A few things about ADHD brain: first of all, if something is out of sight, it's out of mind. Literally. I will buy a salad to fix and put it in the front of the fridge on the shelf, but then Dak will put it into the drawers. The drawers in the fridge are like … Continue reading March 18: A few things
