Let me begin by saying that I am not one of those people who go around diagnosing others or diagnosing myself, but over the last year or so, I have come to realize that I am neurodivergent. I do not know what the specific diagnosis(s) will be when I do finally have the time to […]
Again, I will say – There has been a lot going on around here. My last post was only one of the many. The Department of Social Services has moved to a new Fiscal Intermediary (FI) to pay our staff. This has been a disaster and OH… you will read about GT Independence at a […]
It’s been a minute because it’s been a lot lately. If you have been here for a while, you know that DC has been working at the same program for about 10 or 11 years now. Although I did find some things lacking (mostly communication wise – See Tales From the Day Program), it was […]
So listen… we all know how DC reacts to vaccines. He’s gotten better over the years – probably because as an adult, it is not a regular occurrence any more. “When he was younger and had to have a vaccination, I had to bring reinforcements to the Doctor’s office. Most of the time we had, his […]
It has certainly been a minute since I have posted anything about DC here. After a year and and almost a half of being at home due to the pandemic, I started back at work a couple of days a week back in July (2021). I have to admit that I got used to being […]
I am angry. I am angry because this did not have to happen. I am angry that a Covid-denier without a morsel of human decency thought that he knew better than anyone else and went to work ill. Let us not confuse this with people who may not have been symptomatic right away or symptomatic […]
(This post is mentioned in my Halloween post – which has also not been completed, so it’s all getting a little bit confusing for me. Please bear with us. It seems as though I’ve lost all time management capabilities over the pandemic.) Back in January – the day after New Years Day as a matter […]
We’re still here and we’ll be back here real soon! DC and I wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving! Stay safe and we’ll “see” you soon.
I may have mentioned this already, but back in March our state’s vaccination schedule removed any exception for disabilities and went to an age only schedule. My age came up on March 1st. It took me three days of constant searches and 1000 websites to schedule my two doses. Yes, the 1000 websites is an […]
I will be the first to admit that I can get carried away with DC’s birthday. Much like Christmas, it was a long time before he actually “got it” and when he did, he was all in and so was I. When he got to be an adult, I stopped calling his birthday get-togethers “parties” […]
