Tomorrow I am going to try my best to announce everything I do in one single thread.
Because I am that obnoxious twunt.
And Because no one owes you their time here.
There's a whole fcking Ant Man movie on TV that I have seen several times and have no interest in right now.
I wish I felt safe enough to read.
Y'all have no idea what that brain is like.
Going outside for a final cigarette.
Nope.
Putting my pajamas on while staring vacantly at the television showing something I'm not even interested in right now.

I Have really comfortable BB-8 pajama pants and you probably don't.
16 and I just spent over 5 minutes watching a slug climb up the glass of the storm door.
We stood and watched.
We didn't know its gender so we named it Fred. Fred is a great name.
16 went to bed.
We also had a great conversation about slugs in general.
Often being a parent is awesome.
I would never recommend it to anyone.
My 16yo has never wanted to be a parent. I support that fully.
My family bullshit that keeps on-
Me- "I really thought it would die with me."
16- "Well it totally dies with me."
I love this kid so much and I am so glad I brought him here.
1215am.
My kids are in bed.
Younger son is probably asleep.
Older son is definitely not.
I'm okay with Older.
Younger? I have to be absolutely sure before I sleep because he might decide to walk out.
Off to check.

He's asleep.
Which means I can try to sleep.
Try.
Socks off.
Now.
Now.
No socks in bed unless it's like 17 degrees out. Or colder.
Currently lying in bed wishing that I had a pizza.
Despite the reflux.
My eyes just snapped open.
This happens a lot.
Sleep is necessary though.

@Shelter ok, now you have my attention.
Hopefully after the kid stuff tonight I can get up at 7 assuming that I sleep.
I'm going to start as close to midnight as happens.
@Shelter I am intrigued by this experiment.
Oh I'm going to be totally honest.
@Shelter I am in favor of honesty.
@AskTheDevil
Generally when I am honest people say I'm mean, because I withhold honesty to preserve the feelings of others.
@Shelter It is possible to be honest without being cruel.
Being honest without being _seen_ as cruel is more work, and some of that work is in the other person's hands.
I'm never cruel.
I just get to the point where I have to be honest.
People don't like that.
@Shelter Oh, I can relate. : )
Starting now when trying to go to bed.
1115pm.
Younger son's devices are put away.
He's in bed.
16 is probably fucking around drawing or on Trevorspace and I can't begrudge that during summer.
I try to get ice water and the ice is a chunk. Slam ice on the counter until it separates. Get water from the tap.
Lie on bed waiting for chaos.
Get up and go smoke a final cigarette.
No wait.
Lie down again.
I don't need it.
