Month: August 2020

Although this picture is not the technical “Alpha,” I just loved how he wore a red gown for his kindergarten graduation. His preschool graduation had a blue gown and it was his second preschool. The first one was more social than academic so I like the Dearborn Early Learning Center so much better! I just found this button yesterday and even though it’s not throwback Thursday, I thought I’d share:

• 

I have an 8 x 10 of this picture but it’s somewhere in my basement in a box. I wanted to show this picture because I just received his graduation ceremony pictures in the mail yesterday. My Mom hung this up yesterday in place of Sean’s Jackson Pollock cross that he made in school.

I had my Mom take a picture because she can get up closer than I can from my wheelchair.

• 

So this isn’t the technical, “Omega” but it is for now. At least his grade and high school education is complete!

Yesterday, and about seven in the morning, I was somewhere in between sleep and wake when I heard my window air conditioner stop. Once I heard silence in my house, my eyeshot open! I groaned a little bit. But, 30 seconds later, The air conditioner beeped and restarted. Once I realized that my generator had kicked in, I smiled to myself and drifted off back to sleep.

So I am extremely grateful to have a generator especially when my power went out yesterday for a total of 10 hours. But the rain started. And it lasted all day long and I felt awful! In addition to that, the surge of my generator kicking in did something to my dryer. I’m still coming off all the rain from yesterday and feeling awful so I’m not sure what I’m going to do so I’m extremely grateful, but…

Today, the three act play to dry my hair was really long! It’s taking longer and longer to get my hair dry but having wet hair it’s not an option for me with all of my temperature sensitivities. I haven’t had a haircut since February because I had to cancel my appointment at the beginning of the pandemic. So in the five months that I’ve been sheltering in place with my Mom and the sixt ones since I have cut my hair this is what it looks like:

And here’s how my hair looked after it took FOREVER to fully blow dry it:

I kind of wish I was wearing a lighter shirt today to show the waves in my hair better but it has been 12 years since I have I had any hair on my back and to be honest, I don’t like it very much and I’m kind of over it.

Leia had an appointment with the vet yesterday. It was to restart a administration of a vaccine. When she was sick, she Had a fever so she could not get the second dose. We had to start and then doses over yesterday. She gets the second dose a little bit after she goes for The ultrasound on her mass on her stomach that the vet found at the previous appointment.

A receptionist called us to get my credit card information when she was on the way home. My Mom asked if she saw Leia when she was there. The receptionist laughed and said that she did and that she is, “Just a sweetheart!” I think so too but I think that’s because I think she is but she’s ours; it was nice to hear that from people who see dogs all the time!
