6:32 AM: I’ve had about twenty minutes of sleep. Rough night. The Brownie is once again not waking up for me. I’ve done everything except detonate explosives under her. She’s out. Her sleep schedule is undone with every weekend at her mother’s. She just doesn’t go to bed for her mum. Not fair to her READ MORE

Every once in a while I post on Sunday some thoughts from my Mormon perspective. They’re not intended to proselytize, but to help others understand. I am no more afraid of my faith than I am of my ADHD or depression. I discuss them all openly. In light of the recent terrorist attacks in Brussels READ MORE

12:57 PM: My neurologically off period continues. Even though I slept for 7½ hours, I’m still wobbly. I’m not ticking as much as I feel palsied. I read news for an hour and caught up on social media. It’s not my usual Sunday afternoon activity, but reading scriptures was too deep. Hurts my head. But READ MORE

1:57 PM: Fell asleep at 5:16 AM, woke at 6:20. Got the Brownie off to school, then couldn’t fall back asleep. Wrote a letter to my bishop, about 700 words, lied in bed groggily, then fell asleep again at 9 AM. It wasn’t a great beginning to Day Three, but I knew this would be READ MORE

3:28 PM: The Brownie couldn’t wake up for school. She was comatose—neurologically off. I let her sleep. I had little choice in the matter. Woke at again 11am, read up on the bombing in Brussels, showered, ate, and headed off with the Brownie to physical therapy. Got there and discovered they didn’t take my insurance. READ MORE
