sj, I would love to come smite your neighbors for you. It would have to be something conclusive though, so they couldn't retaliate, or wouldn't have the heart to. Sucks I'm not Queen, man, I'd do it, too.
Barb, that was a lovely piece of writing. Want to hug teen you. Well, now-you, too, but you know what I mean.
I had a little epiphany the other day. I vividly remember a day in early fall, just the time when the earth's axial tilt gives that light-gilded edge to every leaf, grass blade, and stone, car, building, curb-edge. I came into my office from outside, happily burbling about it--how it only comes for a few short days in fall and spring. My Regional Director (boss' boss) and her office manager were visiting, and W looked at me, smiling and vacant. Then she turned to C and asked, "Half the time, do you know what she's talking about?" And C said, "No. I just smile and nod."
As if I was an idiot child to be humored. Okay, back to filing and records systems, sorry for the interjection of meteorology and cosmology into your thrilling workaday lives.
But watching Real Genius the other night I realized that to those women I probably came off like Jordan. And that thought left me obscurely comforted. "Pardon?"
so if you wanna see what three months of lessons looks like, here's your chance.
Excellent arm movements, Barb. Very elegant and sensuous and that's not usually an element that comes early.
And you've got the hipsway of a Cuban for sure.
and i just read your letter - that was great too
Oh, awesome, Barb! I'm envious of how beautifully you move!
Todd, it's now saved in my Netflix queue--which is where I put movies I might want to purchase as well as watch. Thanks!
Barb you were fantastic!!
I probably came off like Jordan.
Oh, man. That just reminded me -- Tim's doctor told him yesterday that he thinks Tim has some Asperger's traits. And the thing is -- I think it's probably easy to mistake some ADD traits for Asperger's traits (one large one being ADD hyperfocus being confused for Asperger's persistence of obsession with one thing).
I know that not many of you have met Tim, and even then it wasn't like we got to spend a lot of time together. But, honestly, I know that I'm on the non-NT spectrum (whether I fall under the umbrella of Asperger's or not), but he really, truly doesn't seem that way to me. I'm a little flummoxed. So his doctor (this is his primary-care doctor) is talking about medication for it, etc., etc., and all I can think is, I want to talk to his doctor.
Although that's the point at which I would be interfering. He's my spousal-equivalent, not my kid-equivalent.
But sometimes having an advocate helps.
But sometimes having an advocate helps.
Only if he wants it. He's an adult, and I really don't want to interfere or try to run his life. Which is fucking HARD, since I always want to run *everyone's* lives.
Could you ask him if he wants an advocate on this? Then as an adult he could say "yes" or "no".
