Papa Ry

😂😂😂 left all that at home!

Nugget, peanut, and jelly bean have all been tossed around 😂

Might be different if it's your own kid, I'm not sure. I'm usually grossed out by this kind of thing too, but did not affect me in the slightest with her.

Not the first diaper I've changed, and not the last, but my first as a proud papa!

When I first sat down earlier this morning I was handed a crying little nugget who settled and fell asleep within a minute or two in my arms. Love isn't a strong enough word for how I feel about this kid.

One of my earliest "awakenings" as a kid..

Women are tough as nails, man..

No doubt! The Suboxone would have me constantly chasing highs and lows between doses, have not felt this consistently level in I can't even remember how long.. it's nice, but also a little weird.

I can't help getting a little choked up that Mandy named her that, also. Too many emotions to process.

🫶🫶 thanks!

I don't know about amazing 😂 but I'll try. Haven't seen Mandy in many months, and it wasn't a great time. Things are different now, but will still be awkward. Can't wait to hold Riley, though!

Will try! Got some jitters to get out before I finally pass out.

Murikah is very big. Too big maybe.

Drove a little over that today! Left around 11am I think, crawled into the hotel bed just a little bit ago.

Big day tomorrow... Got nervous jitters despite being exhausted from the drive.

Also my flabbers are ghasted... This is the most "normal" I've felt in a long time. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I think the Sublocade might be a fricken miracle...

Absolute badass!

Sounds like a shit door dash. 😂 Hopefully all is well!

700 miles is too many miles.

Oof, that's not a good sign! 🤣

Normal people would just fly, but flying scares the shit out of me and this was kind of a last minute trip. Roughly halfway there!

A little over 700 miles give or take. Been a long day! Should probably roll in around midnight or 1am.

I am, yep! And yeah, lots of road construction today. Driving from basically the Maryland/Pennsylvania border down to Georgia.

Lots of construction!

Doc grabbed a big handful of flesh and just went for it - right in the abdomen. Thankfully she numbed me up with ice and some sort of topical spray, but eesh...

Okie doke.. wheels, road, miles... Hopefully the traffic gods will be generous today.

*Young.. how this phone got "going" from "young" I have no fricken idea...
