feeling lost like a toaster set on medium high

Twice, I look at my watch in the last three weeks and it showed (hours and minutes): 12:34.

There is nothing particularly significant about this.

Today, I am 15,994 days old. Slowly but surely I will be getting into my 16,000s. It will be about another thirty-two months before I hit 17,000.

I have not yet had an occasion to use my lawn mower yet this spring. Almost the entirety of both the front and rear lawns is still snow covered.

My wife has traveled by air to Durham, North Carolina and will be there until Friday. This means I am on my own with the kids to get them to school and any after school activities. This is not new for me.
