Hmmm...I've not been posting much recently, perhaps I'm depressed. R caught covid at the beginning of the month after we returned from our overnight. She has been referred to a long covid clinic as her PCP thinks she probably has long covid. R met with them and some of the care she is interested such as the lung x-ray and PT for breathing. She ( Read more... )

So teh boy is all the more ambitious about making money for school. The problem is that he's afraid to take another job on because he's afraid it will conflict with his current job and school starting next month. He wants to try to find ways of making money online. I told him about swag bucks and he had heard about adding subtitles to movies and I ( Read more... )

Teh boy: I don't say this enough, Love you Mom.
me: aw....thank you :-) I love you from the deepest parts of my soul all the way up
Teh boy: way to 'one up' me mother :p
Me: LOL :-) :-) :-)
Me: You are wonderful and amazing just as you are...no one up-ing :-) :-) :-)

I sure got one wonderful and amazing, kid. How did I get so lucky?

I got a nice surprise when I came home, teh boy bought me a bag of fritos. He knows that I've got a personal attachment to them because I use to eat them with my Dad. He also wrote me a really nice note that reads "Mother, don't let the expectations of Mother's day tilt your judgement. I appreciate you ever day of the year". How sweet is that?

Teh boy was tired yesterday afternoon and decided to take a nap. Unfortunately this led to him being wide awake when I went to bed last night (midnight). He decided he was going to go for a drive. I received a telephone call at 3am from him because his car died. Once it died, he attempted to turn around (why, I don't even know) therefore he was ( Read more... )

Today was teh boy's drivers license test. He started this so long ago...I think he was 14 when he first started taking the classroom training. I remember thinking he was just too young. He was probably on the right path for getting it at your typical age of 16 when my Dad was killed by a truck. He has never said that it affected his desire to ( Read more... )

Yesterday I got an email that included teh boy's ACT scores. I was expecting him to do pretty well because I know how smart he is even if he doesn't work to his potential. He wasn't feeling it very good about the test. His composite score was in the 80th percentile nationally which means he will likely be able to attend the community college where ( Read more... )

P was put on thyroid medication today. She was sad that she has to take more medication but I'm hoping she will feel better after it kicks in ( Read more... )

We made it to Indianapolis! We decided after checking out of the hotel in Chicago the weather seemed too bad to delay getting to Indianapolis. Normally I think it takes just over 3 hours but not today! We left just after 1pm and didn't get here until 6:30. We had a really long detour not one that was posted but after we sat for 30 minutes on the ( Read more... )

Monday was school conferences. He's very solidly in the B range right now. I'm pleased. The teachers all said wonderful things about him being a very kind young man.  One of his favorite teachers does socratic inquiries on various topics in a salon format, the boy loves these and this teacher. He (the teacher) said that he seems to be in a much ( Read more... )
