Decided to sit outside and enjoy the sun today. The two dabs I just took have me feeling lifted and motivated to do something. My kids are off to school and I'm waiting for my wife to come back home. Fridays are the only day of the week that I get to spend time with my wife.
I love her to death, she's always been my light when I've been my darkest. She was in an unfortunate … [Read more...] about

Friday Morning Coffee
Waking up at 5am on a Friday is normal for some people, but not for me. Especially since I'm not working today, not to mention I work nights and this is around the time I'm leaving work to come home. The kids are obviously asleep and the house is extremely quiet. I made some coffee and decided to take in the sunrise. I can't stop thinking about other patients that I've met the … [Read more...] about Friday Morning Coffee
Happy to be with Family
Good morning world!! Life never seems to be dull around here. It seems like the "fun" never stops. I've been extremely busy as of late because I recently started my final course of my Master's degree. For me education seemed to be the only thing to keep me motivated and invested in work for the last couple of years. I have found structure and quite frankly keeping busy helps me … [Read more...] about Happy to be with Family
Tuesday Life
I was thinking how my life has changed in the last few years since I started medicating with marijuana. I remember first discussing medical marijuana with my first doctor about three years ago. He was adamant that it would only help me if I was high 24x7 and I didn't think that I wanted that in my life at the time. I continued using the prescriptions, but it seemed like … [Read more...] about Tuesday Life

Weekend Fun!
This weekend is an emotional one for my wife especially. My oldest daughter starts kindergarten next week and as a parent this is a big step for our little girl. My wife is a little sad that my oldest is getting so big, it was like yesterday we were in the hospital with our first child, not knowing what expect. The books never really prepare you for being a parent. For me, … [Read more...] about Weekend Fun!
VA Appointment
I went to the Veteran Affairs Hospital the other day for my bi-monthly therapy session to talk about my issues and to see how the medication is working. They ignored the fact that I want to start weening off the prescription cocktail they have me on. The stuff knocks me on my face for 5 hours at least, so I have to try to sleep when I can. I work nights and I'm lucky to get 4 … [Read more...] about VA Appointment
Free Day!
So this rarely happens, I get to do anything I want on a day off!! I planned with the my parents to have them spend time with my girls, so they are over Oma and Opa's house for the day. How did I get so lucky, you ask? … [Read more...] about Free Day!
Can I get some sleep!
The last few days have been extremely stressful at work, things just haven't been running smoothly. The work volume is just through the roof. Doesn't help that I rarely get to sleep during my work week since I work the overnight shift. On a typical day I'll get 4 hours of broken sleep, which at least grants me time to spend with my children. The other day, I thought of Greg C … [Read more...] about Can I get some sleep!
Life is too busy!
So it's Tuesday and I feel like I need a vacation. I didn't get the chance to see my kids that much yesterday, which was a real bummer for me. The girls are my world. I love taking them outside to play or to the park. They are so full of life and not a care in the world. I miss that kind of innocence, it makes me want to give them everything I can. My parents tried to … [Read more...] about Life is too busy!
