This is glorious.
The suck is coming back tomorrow, but this is absolutely welcome.

There's a baby Sebastian Stan in this episode of Law & Order.

Forgot myself and started blowing bubbles with the nicotine gum.

My eyes just snapped open.
This happens a lot.
Sleep is necessary though.

Currently lying in bed wishing that I had a pizza.
Despite the reflux.


Socks off.
Now.
Now.
No socks in bed unless it's like 17 degrees out. Or colder.

He's asleep.
Which means I can try to sleep.
Try.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, I do speak to my kid this way.
It works best.
