Dear Diary
I am excited about the Super Moon tonight and the Eclipse. I am going to go outside periodically and try to catch it happening in the sky. I don’t think that the rain clouds will obscure the moon too much it seems to have lessoned somewhat from the rain storms earlier.
I went to the Walmart grocery store earlier because I knew that they sold sea monkeys. My poor Betta Fish Ghost is still sick after a week of medication, so I am going to have to try changing his diet up a little bit and see if that helps, brine shrimp is supposed to be good for his digestion if he isn’t feeling well, so I hope eating a few baby brine shrimp can help him. I have to let the water condition 24-hours before hatching the baby shrimps, so tomorrow I will see how the baby shrimps go, besides my Ghost could use some company in his fish tank.
I had made this dress about a month ago and I knew the fabric wasn’t in the best condition, as sometimes I recycle fabrics to make clothing and other things, this one had came from a bedspread that had ripped. I guess I now know why my bed spread ripped when the dress started ripping in odd places, the material was old to begin with. This makes me a bit sad, as originally I had paid good money for the bed set it came with thinking it looked great, when it ripped in the first week it was during a pillow fight between Brandon and Ashley, I just figured rough housing caused the rip. I noticed when I was cutting it to sew I had trouble finding the good parts of the material, but today as a dress it just started ripping and tearing all over the place, with nothing pulling or stressing on it. I have of course already replaced it as bedding but next time I go to buy expensive bedding I am going to pull and tug on it when I get it home, if it rips or snags, it is going right back to the store, I wonder how long it sat on the shelf before I bought it?
With my dress all ripped up I just made something else to wear today with scraps. It’s a cute dress and I want to take picture of my stuff but my mannequin had an accident when it fell over and I just glued back its missing wooden thing that goes on the bottom... leg… foot… Whatever the three wooden things are called at the bottom of it. Anyways hopefully it stays together this time, as this is the second time it fell and broke.
I seem to break things, lol.
I saw this news story today. http://www.broadwayworld.com/article/THE-KING-I-Actor-Shares-Emotional-Post-on-Harsh-Response-to-Autistic-Audience-Member-20150925 about Kelvin Moon Loh an actor in ‘The King and I” where he shares his strong feelings about when the audience got mad at a child with autism and the mother who was unable to control his noise level during the performance. He tells how it saddened him deeply to see people reach the point of yelling at the woman and her child and reminded us all that theater is meant to be enjoyed by everyone, not just those who are able to sit patiently and watch quietly.
This really made me cry at how understanding this man can be. My own family is not so understanding. My own mother tells me not to bring Ashley, her grandchild anywhere, because she might disturb people. “I bet you wish you could go to the theater, but you can’t because of Ashley.” or “It would be fun for you to go to a restaurant, but you can’t because of Ashley.” or “The family is having a get together, but you probably shouldn’t go, because of Ashley.” and on and on. It’s crap because if she doesn’t get to go out and do things and get exposed to things then she is never going to learn what is expected of her behavior in public. Honesty, when I do take her out to eat she behaves pretty well, an occasional flap, and maybe a run until we sit down to eat, but not super bad either. I don’t really care to go to crowded theaters myself, I’d usually much rather wait for stuff to come out on streaming or whatever, so that one doesn’t bother me. If the ‘family’ doesn’t like her, well, that isn’t saying much about them. After all if family discriminates against someone with a disability, should they even be considered family? Nope, they never liked me anyways.
Honestly, I could care less, other then the part with this actor seems to be more understanding and tolerant of this mother and her child, then my mother does of her own grandchild.
Okay, all done fuming.
