Reasons why I mix my coffee with whiskey, my list of bodies I have buried in the woods, and other thoughts while shaving

If the cadre could send positive thoughts Aidan’s way - he had a seizure this morning (his first in over 2 years); he’s resting now in the hospital - thank goodness that it was not a long one - was more violent than I remember the other ones. The bummer is that we just weened him off his meds two weeks ago.

He is recuperating well - a little tired but slowly returning to normal.
 
well - this wasn’t the Sunday we had planned.

Thank You everyone for your well wishes. Aidan is back and home and almost back to normal. Bummer that it looks like we’ll have to continue the medication - but it is obviously needed!

Thank you my brothers for all your well wishes!

Aidan woke up smiling and laughing - so we’re off to a good start!

I had planned to shave with all of my favorites - and Le Grand Chypre is my favorite scent out there. However, Mother Nature decided that although it is the end of March - that it would be good to drop the temp to freezing and send a little flurries our way.

But - not to worry - because though I had planned to use my favorite cologne - Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT - and it is a smidge cold for that IMO, I know a guy

who directed me to the fact that Dior had the foresight for today to make an EdP. So we’re back in business.

It is fortuitous that Aidan’s school was already closed for Teacher training - so we’re going to literally chill (because it’s freezing outside) and let him have another day to relax and recuperate. We have plenty of STEAM projects we can do. The other kids have to work….

Though I have to admit - when I was their age - I do remember begging my dad to just let me hang out with my friends “But Dad - this is the last time I’ll ever get to have fun.” And I was met with the same empathetic response as he dropped me off at work. Parents can be so cruel.😂

Have a great day my friends!

So - noggin shave today - very smooth and enjoyable. And love the scents. Though the cologne is not in the same family as the soap/AS (Paco Rabanne 1 Million Lucky/1 Million) - still compliment each other.

Have a wonderful day everyone!
