I look forward to what both you and Ann say everyday. In fact I look forward to all the musings from all the tribe. Sometimes we talk of deeply profound things, sometimes just the day's minutia. I love both, but I find the minutia to be like comfort food, satisfying and heartwarming.
I like to write down some of the best ones. One of my favorites, 14 years old, on the spectrum:
Me: George this project is due in a few days. Where are you at? I'm getting worried.
George: You should be. ( Died laughing after I walked away.)
Or another ASD student walks into the classroom. I'm wearing a sleeveless dress. The student with total sincerity: Oh Mrs. DD, you look so pretty. I've never seen your arms before. (Its true, I usually wear a cardigan with sleeveless dresses because I'm always cold)
Those kiddos crack me up. In the beginning of my career I would get flustered by questions like that. Now, I'd say something smart ass right back like, "No, what does it taste like?" or "Of course, tastes just like chicken!" or "EARWAX? You don't ask a gentleman about his earwax! It's like asking a lady her age!" Then move things right along.
P. S. The Duke Farms eagle camera is a good one and there are two newly hatched chicks plus a third egg. Enjoy.

Greetings Peeps, Peps and Pups
All is well here on a sunny and almost warm day. I bet it is in the 60's. Started the day trying to do my real ID app. Of course the web site asks questions and the correct answer is not an option. Drives me nuts. Got DH to help. They did not like my birth certificate even though it is a certified copy. Later they changed their mind as DH send in something else. Go figure. DH would rather mess with the computer for hours than to find a real person. Oh well. We have appointments in March. After that I did walking at the gym. Listened to Roberta Flack. What a treasure. I also went to the despised CVS to get my favorite coffee as tomorrow is Buy Nothing day. Score! My favorite kind was on sale and they had lots. After that it was studio time and I started new projects. So it was a productive day by my albeit low standards, DH is now engrossed in Dr. Who.
Liz we all have you and your DD on our minds. Hope there is something decided soon. Good of you to help the new golfer.
DD what a weird question from the kid. How do you keep from laughing at some of this?
Peps those puppies are adorable. I hope you get to pick. Sweet.
CC all I can think of from your post is "stinky wind" but I know thats not what it said. Enjoy the dinner.
70 eye drops into healing. Only about 120 to go.
Deli roast chicken tonight. Made myself buy one so we are forced to eat healthy instead of caving in to mac and cheese. Also got green beans.
Well Ann, just because nothing interesting has happened does not mean you can't post. Does not stop me. Hope you get some sleep tonight.
Paula also thinking good thoughts for your DC1. Life is hard enough without mental health issues.
Peace all. Over and out. Diane S

I also don't have much to say as it was a pretty ordinary day. I will share this: A kid was working with me and suddenly paused and asked, " Have you ever tasted your own earwax?" Depending on the kid I might say, that's a weird question. I'm probably not someone you should be asking. This kid is a popular kid and was trying to be funny by being outrageous. My response was, Really? and then we got back to the assignment.
We are having a nice pre spring week. The trick is to enjoy it for what it is, and not be tricked into thinking winter is over.
I'm so sorry for your daughter having to go through this and you too. Praying for a good outcome. Of course you are willing to fly north and help her through this, because you are the kind of Mom everyone hopes to have.
So sorry DC1 is struggling. Sounds like they have a lot of potential but their head gets in the way.

Gosh Liz we are sorry to hear of DD's continuing issues. Seems like they should do the general anesthetic. Good for you to be willing to travel if she needs you. Doctor's not listening? True. Sending good energy for a good outcome. We are thinking of you both.
More later.

130.5. Will I ever get there?
Shot day today. Took 2 mg. I think I will stick to once per week for a bit and see how that goes for me.
Woman's Bible study was good this morning.
Praying for DC1, mental health still in the crapper, taking more leave from work! I really hope they don't lose their job!
Off soon to get taxes done, yippy!
