6:35 am – Let dog out for his morning wizz and then feed him.

8:01 pm > 11:30 pm – Go clean up the kitchen from dinner, make my lunch, maybe take out the trash and recycling, watch some tv with the wife, surf some net, or draw a little, play a little video game if I’m lukcy.  Talk to wife about things that we cant really talk about in front of the kids.  You know… adult stuff…

11:31 pm – Brush teeth…  Way too late…  I should have went to bed earlier…  why do I do this to myself… zzzzzzzz…
