Writing a few words to get back in blogging shape. There’s been a lot keeping me busy and as soon as I sat down to write, my dog starting puking on the floor. For the last month I’ve been recovering from the acupuncture cure of Alpha Gal and don’t know how long before then I was dealing with the symptoms of meat allergy. For months I was complaining about the quality of ground beef at the grocery store, in reality I was probably having allergic reactions. The first time I got Alpha gal, it hit so hard that my entire life shut down. When it was cured, I acted like it never happened. Mentally I couldn’t acknowledge what happened. At the same time I was struggling with some mystery illnesses for years, now I believe those were allergic reactions from eating meat. Now that the acupuncture is out and I’m feeling better, I don’t plan to eat beef, pork, or lamb ever again with hopes that will give me new life. These are my first days back and I’m making plans for my future. In the Fall, for the first time all kids will be in daycare and I’ll get another part of my life back. My show has been going well and I’m proud of how the interviews came out. My plan is to turn my recording into an AI self that can read my blog writings as a script to create daily videos. One attempt at AI cloning was already made and failed, my thinking was that everything was too complicated, so I’ve been figuring out how to simplify things for take two.

6 tháng thay vợ ở nhà chăm con, tôi cảm thấy áp lực gấp 10 lần đi làm. Chỉ riêng việc bón từng muỗng cơm, dỗ dành con ngủ, giặt giũ, dọn dẹp... cũng đủ khiến tôi kiệt sức. Mới hiểu, thiên chức làm mẹ thầm lặng nhưng vĩ đại biết bao.

Typing on an iPhone sucks—but sometimes, it’s the only screen I’ve got.
As a stay-at-home dad, I sneak in writing while my kids play. I tested big phones, swipe keyboards, accessories, and landscape mode. Here’s what worked—and what drove me nuts.

I finished another #shortstory first draft and this one made me a little emotional. Can’t wait to get back to fix it up and get it out there.

That whole write about what you know is true, since this one is inspired by my real life as a #stayathomedad

#writingcommunity #writers #fiction

My stack of works that need editing keep growing as the words don't stop flowing. But I need to set aside some time to editi some pieces. I don't know if I should lower my already low #wordgoal or just set aside a day to edit.

I wish I had more time to #edit

Bedtime story for not so sleepy kiddos

This guy will never be caught saying he’s babysitting his own kids

Why is it so hard for me to get down to #writing when the kids are at school? I want to get so much done, but its hard to sit here and focus when I have the chance to mentally breathe.

I’ve been using Mastodon for awhile, but never gave a proper #introduction. So here we go.

I’m a father of two boys. A former IT geek who ended up working in breweries, then becoming an actual brewer at a small pub. It eventually closed, and I transitioned to full time #stayathomedad . I play #hockey, I dabble with #Writing, I love #SciFi and #Fantasy, I #homebrewbeer, I’m a #youthhockey dad, and I’m trying to get back in to #ttrpg. I currently have 3 #Cats. That’s a snapshot of my life.

#Introduction #introductions

Hey since I only started using #mastodon again only lately, I'm resending my #introductions note in the hope for other people with similar interests as myself to connect with.

Some of the things i do and like to do are:
