I pray to whatever god exists that i never turn into either one of my parents.. we all have issues, but my parents have ISSUES… im talking major mental health stuff, im talking alcoholism and other things.. just going to hope i can do my own thing, be my own guy- though i know it isn’t 100% possible to avoid having traits of one or the other of them.

I picked out a shirt and went to the cashier to pay. While waiting it hit me that this was the type shirt my dad would have worn.

I went and put the shirt back.

Coming home from out of town to a freshly clean home is underrated.

I’ll modify our cleaning ladies every 2 weeks schedule from Wednesday to another day of the week to make sure they show while we’re gone. Id we go out of town for the weekend I’ll tell them to come on the Friday.

When I wake up Saturday morning at 8 am to start cleaning while blasting 70s-80s R&B music.

I have a drawer filled with plastic bags from grocery stores. You know, because you never know when it will come in handy.

I have a drawer filled with leftover condiments from fast-food places. Ran out of ketchup? That's cool. I have 6 ketchup packets from Wendys and Chikfila that's been there for 4 months.

Sunday is my designated laundry day. I refuse to do laundry any other day.

To this day, I keep a pair of fuzzy dice over my rear view. I got this one from my grandad.

When I realized that my listening to ‘80s hair metal today is the equivalent of my parents listening to this when I was a teenager in the ‘80s... Youtube link

I thought my mom was the only one who did that. I remember her finishing the house cleaning early before we drove to WDW. So, instead of just relaxing, she went out to my dad's shop and cleaned that as well. It was a general purpose building where we worked on farm equipment, so she ended up having to do way more cleaning than anticipated. She was up until 2AM the morning we left making sure the outside room was cleaner than it ever had been before.


My mother would be a complete bitch about it. We’d be like an hour behind schedule and she’d be picking stuff up screaming about how useless we were and and threatening to stay because she wouldn’t leave the place looking a mess.

She would gaslight our vacations.

On the weekends, I wake up at least by 6:00 AM to start “doing stuff” around the house.

Slam my doors, I loose my shite.


I don’t have to worry about the thermostat. I have the setting on my app where I can lock the display controls, and only control the temp from my phone…….I walked into my house after work, 2 summers ago to a house on 73degF…..I damn near exploded.
