Too Little Time

Six days ago, I turned 29. It was just another day, but I had a large soft cookie, at least. The girls have been a little hectic, but I love them so. Two days ago, my wife went a little manic and moved a few things around. It required my…

Teething Steam Decks

So I haven't been able to mess with the Steam Deck much. It came Monday evening instead of the Wednesday it was supposed to be delivered. I've downloaded a few games and put in maybe 30 minutes total playing Halo and Euro Truck Simulator. It feels lighter than I imagined…

A New Challenger Appears

Well, not really. Another diagnosis for the wife: confusional migraines. It's like a more severe migraine that can cause other issues, which do line up with her symptoms. That, POTS, and arthritis in her spine just like to keep her down. Our helper is leaving next week for an opportunity…

Falling and General Technology

There's definitely sickness in the house. My daughters are both running fevers and my wife got prescribed something for her issues. I have yet to see a doctor, but I'm on the up and up anyway. My girls will see their pediatrician later today. My wife has been falling fairly…

Sickness, Ideas, and Love Day

So I think sickness is in my house - I've not felt the best for a few days and neither has my wife. Thankfully, the kids still seem fully themselves. Hopefully they don't get sick... That makes the lack of sleep even harder for me - I'm functional and managing,…

Stress

Stress is immense in this time of my life. Managing it is rather difficult at times with the two kids. They just turned 1 and 2 years old, which is awesome to think about, but crazy at the same time. They've both been going through sleep regressions at the same…

Patreon? Why Not.

For some reason, I decided to make a Patreon. If someone out there is looking at this website, do you want to supply me a coffee or two a month? My only tier is $5. If someone is silly enough to do that, message me. I'll figure out something for you.

Figuring Out the Website

After updating the website a few times, all the links were broken briefly. This was due to renaming the pages' filenames and for some reason Mobirise (the offline sitebuilder I use) was not updating the filenames in the coding (ie: page1.html to Blog.html). I'll have to keep an eye on…

Home Again

In the past week, I've ventured from Arkansas to Pennsylvania to visit my wife's grandma, who just turned 100. It actually went better than expected, given it was 16+ hours on the road with two under two. Part of the reason it went so well was we brought a friend,…
