The boys and I have been on lockdown for 150 days today. It’s crazy to think it’s been this long and it’s even crazier to think we could be looking at almost another year before we get access to a vaccine. While we’re all safe and healthy, that doesn’t mean we’re doing great. Don’t get …

Confessions: I’m worn out and overwhelmed
Today has me stressing out quite a bit. As lockdown drags on and on, it’s getting harder and harder to make ends meet. This month has been absolutely horrible in that area and I’m really worried about what July is going to look like. Being a single Dad and full time caregiver to 3 Autistic kids, …

I’m so frustrated with society right now
Today has truly been a mixed bag but at the end of the day, we’re still here. I recorded my second interview today, since going on hiatus. I’ve put together a new setup that works so much better and it didn’t cost me a penny. I was able to adjust the way I used existing …

We’ve been on #COVID-19 Lockdown for 100 Days

If my sensory sensitive kids with #Autism can wear a mask, WTF is your excuse?
I know I’m not writing nearly as often as I normally do and the truth is, depression is really kicking my ass. I’m still functional but definitely struggling. As of today, we’ve been on lockdown for 98 straight days. As you can probably imagine, it’s running a bit long in the tooth at this point. …

I have mixed feelings about this
Today is the last day of self-quarantine before the kids get to spend some time with their mom. Assuming all goes well today, the boys will spend Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning with their mom and grandparents. I have mixed feelings about this and I wouldn’t be honest if I said otherwise.. I’ve kept the …

I’ve managed to keep my kids safe and healthy for 70 days
Today marks day 70 of COVID19 lockdown for my family. It’s been a long journey and I’m afraid we aren’t even almost there yet. I’m preparing to remain locked down as long as it takes to keep my family safe. Yes, it’s a massive sacrifice but the alternative is unacceptable to me. We have made …
