I havent taken Vyvanse in 4 days. I ran out. It wasn't as horrible as I thought so now I'm trying to figure out a schedule to skip doses and extend my prescription.

Although if I had to work all 4 days it might have been different.

It's been so hot. So on the news this I think 7 days out of the past 9 have been record highs. Of course climate change wasn't mentioned.

My birthday is in a few weeks. Matthew wanted to take me for an overnight trip some where but I kind of want to be practical and spend the money on a new couch. He mentioned Dollywood but I don't really want to do a theme park. Gatlinburg has a Ripley's believe it or not aquarium and various museum type things that sounded fun. And air conditioned. I like air conditioning.

Son is most likely going to be employed shortly because he has a lot of irons in the fire right now. He also lined up a roommate to pay half his rent. I made it abundantly clear that if he wasn't independent by the time I went north for the summer he would be going with me. Having the girlfriend (who has yet to impress me positively), has made him pretty desperate to get his act together. GF is even more screwed up than he is and this has put him in the role of nurturer and protector. If he holds down a job so he can take care of her that works for me.

That does not sound like a good combination, especially since you've previously noted she's a drug user. Pretty sure she's more anchor than he is buoyant.

That was my initial take too, David. It isn't the way it has been playing out though. We'll see how it goes, but right now he is playing the role of the mature responsible one. Which granted isn't hard when considering her level of maturity. Who knows what sparks people to grow up and accept responsibility.

Laura, I don't know how to think my way through this, but you don't need me to think. I'm behind you all the way, and vibing the best for your son.

Thank you. Hanging in a parking lot waiting for him on another interview. He's 27 going on 17 in so many ways.

You've probably seen, or at least heard about, the shared bicycles and scooters ... well, there's a new option ... supposedly starting up in San Francisco. Should be highly entertaining on the hills.

The only thing that surprises me about that is that the company isn't based in Portland, then again, that will probably be a shared unicycle company.

I saw something about that either yesterday or early this morning, Toddson. My first thought was April Fools Joke, the I remembered it's June.

I thought it was going to be this: [link]

Which would be much cooler, by the way.
