Daily Diary

Sunday---Bots wakes me up at 8:10 demanding print outs of more cards for himself. So get downstairs to do that. I’m sore from the day before’s workout. I get an email asking how many cards I am able to do for a new girlie card set. I reply back and make plans to get to work on them. I play with the kids and deal with a very rowdy bots. I make spaghetti for the wife and I and we watch the Lions beat the Browns in a fun one. The wife heads to work to do some minor shit and then comes home with booze. The kids pass out finally and I watch part of the Walking Dead premiere. The wife joins me and we watch Louis CK and other things while drinking. Yada yada, I’m in bed by 1am.

Monday—I’m woke up at 7:30 by bots. I nurse a hangover headache all morning. The wife wakes up and we take bots to the doctor. He’s extremely hyper and he’s showing off to all the new interns and case workers. The doctor prescribes a new medication that will hopefully help us out. We take it to Walgreens and then head home. We put bots on the bus and then hit the Denny’s for a nice quiet breakfast. The baby eats two eggs, which is incredible for him! We get back home and the wife heads to work, I put baby down for nap and myself for a much deserved nap.

At 4pm, I wake up, get baby up and pick up bots from the bus. We head to Walgreens and wait in the drive thru lane for 48 minutes before finding out that the wife’s new insurance screwed up something and our new pills are not covered yet. So I make a call to the wife to get that fixed and hit the Mcds for fries for bots and then home. I sit on the couch most of the day catching up to shows I’ve missed for the week and play with the baby and bots for a while. Baby goes to bed at 8pm and I update blog and do other minor things online.

The wife comes home and I reminisce about buying CDs on a special midnight release party at CD shops back in the day. I head to Kroger to turn in cans and get a couple things. I return and autograph all the Sherlock original art cards. I pack them up and ready to mail them tomorrow. The wife comes down and talks with me a bit. And I end up going up to bed around 1am.

Tuesday---The baby wake me up at 6:30am for some reason. I feed him and then check online crap. I do some pencils and colors on some girlie pinups for the deviantart site and do up a new blog. Bots gets up and I get him on the bus. Baby is moody so I put him down for a nap and myself as well. An hour and change later, baby gets up and I email back and forth with Shane for a while.  (rest of day is a blur)

Wednesday----After doing my usual morning routine, the wife comes home and after we pick up bots from the bus, we head to Okemos to the other Five Below to pick up some stuff for her store. Then stop off in East Lansing for a Firehouse Sub and I take the bots to a place called “Pete’s Arcade,” which he loves. We gotta go back there more often! We get back, but everyone to bed and then myself.

Thursday---I wake up and I notice that the slight chest congestion I’ve had the last couple days is getting worse. Baby is feeling it too. Kids are germ farms, I swear. I do my morning usual and put bots on the bus. Baby and I clean house while catching up on Stern. I clean my office closet and pack up my gig bag for Fanfare Comic Con. Bots gets off bus. Wife comes home with chicken. We eat and baby passes out. I watch Jason goes to Hell and then part of Jason X, then Air Force One (Never have seen it) while laying on the couch feeling sick. I hit the bed after bots passes out and try to sleep the chest congestion off.

Friday—I wake up at 2:15am, craving a cold soda. I get up, check email and update blog. I’m feeling a tad better at this point, but still stuffy as hell. I go back to bed til 7:30 when bots wakes me up. The wife heads to work for a few hours to meet the president of her company who is visiting. The visit goes really well. I’m glad she found a job that treats her right!

I get bots on the bus, put baby to nap and then the wife naps. I go solo to East Lansing to the used book store and find a couple rarities. I walk around hitting other shops in the campus area but get nothing. I head back home in time to get bots off the bus. I sit and listen to the new Joe Rogan podcast and start reading on “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield. (GREAT READ!) and the wife gets up. She heads to the store and comes back.

She puts baby to bed and I clean the hell out of my office. I even use the carpet cleaner vacuum on my carpet. After cleaning, bots goes to bed and I do some writing. I stop and read some more of Pressfield’s book and then pass out.
