3. TODAY’S SELF-OBSERVATION
In a repeat of yesterday, there was thoroughly enjoyable personal indulgence on the laptop followed by quality time with missus and, suprisingly, daughter via Skype. It was another day in which I made a real difference to folk, my chosen life-purpose, as well as getting my own rocks off. Who could ask for more?

Although I am very open on this paragraph, I still have some secrets, a little private world of my own, that I am in the fortunate position of being able to indulge. Rest assured that it does not involve abuse or violence of any kind, but it would be, to most people, considered bizarre.

I take some amusement in not only enjoying this personal world, but in the fact that I actually can. One advantage of my missus condition, particularly with her perception dulled by antipsychotics, is that she doesn't ask many questions. This, combined with being at home daytime, means I have unprecedented freedom to do my own thing and yet still give bags of quality time to nearest and dearest as well necessary housework. My life is consequently blissful and idyllic most of the time, an unexpected windfall of caring for a paranoid schizophrenic.
