I was driving somewhere on Pine Island Road yesterday when it hit me: My Memorial Day weekend sucked. It hadn’t ended yet, but at that point, nothing was going to stop it from sucking. Oh, we had plans. Saturday we were supposed to, well, go, somewhere. I can’t remember if...
Evi is loading the kids into the van to go to the gym as I type. We have a membership to one here in Cape Coral, and I’ve been there so frequently that I’ve forgotten the name of it. It’s stupid that I’m not going; I think I pay $50/month...
About a month ago, I broke one of my molars eating a cheeseburger. This was the day Evi went on a canoeing excursion with some of our friends, which I couldn’t participate in because of my still-recovering shoulder. Trying to be a “team player”, I joined them at the celebratory...
Saturday morning, Evi and I took the girls over to Alliance for the Arts in Fort Myers to do some fun art projects. If that sounds at all familiar, it’s the same place I nearly killed myself changing an elderly lady’s tire five years ago.* A quick, suspicious glance around...
Evi is absolutely fascinated by the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial. She’s constantly coming up, showing me a clip from it where we’ll both marvel at how batshit Heard apparently is. Evi will actually have it live-streaming to her phone while she’s doing other things. I generally pay no attention to...
This morning, Evi took the girls to some event at the library. I have no idea what; I was just glad they were getting the hell out of the house. Today was truly my first day back at work, and I really needed the peace and quiet. Sasha and Norah...
Sorry for the extremely late post today. Not feeling great. If I can give you one piece of advice about vacationing in the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Spring, that advice would be: bring your allergy medicine. Pollen was everywhere. It was so thick you could actually see it floating...
Remember how I mentioned that I have a slow leak in my left front tire? Today that leak cost me nearly $900. Actually, over $900 when you factor in the Ubering I had to do to drop off and pick up the van. The driver that picked me up from...
I have a pretty clear memory of having breakfast and coffee at the Ellijay Coffeehouse this morning, but it doesn’t feel like it happened, you know, this morning. I guess that’s what happens when you drive for like fourteen hours straight: You think about what you were doing when you...
You know how near the end of a vacation, you often feel like, “yeah, it’s time, I need to get back to my real life”? I totally don’t feel that way at all. I mean, I know few people get, or even want, to live every day of their lives...
Our vacation is winding down. Tomorrow (today by the time you read this) is our last full day here, as we’re leaving for the long drive home early Wednesday morning. It’s about time, you’re undoubtedly thinking. One more facebook post bragging about some stupid tourist trap and I’m deleting their...
Just got out of a Zoom meeting with my three co-creators of an animation project. I have no idea if our cartoon will ever see the light of day, but my God it’s fun creating it. I feel like 98% of my life is me pretending to be an adult;...
Drove to Chattanooga, Tennessee today. We decided to leave our cabin early in the morning in an effort to get some touristy stuff done before Norah’s usual naptime, then try to incorporate an hour-ish drive around 1 PM where she’d get her nap, wake up, and be a pleasant, joyous...
