Having a Jack Russell terrier will flat WEAR YOU OUT. *faint*

Lesson Learned – May 25, 2010

At the ripe old age of 50, I’ve decided that I want to learn a new lesson, at least a couple of times per week.

Today’s lesson –
Never use the weedeater on your yard in the morning, wearing shorts.

“Why?”, you may ask.

Cuz wet grass stings!

Update time!

Got in from work not too long ago (it’s 10:10 am now), but wanted to add a little something here before I hit the sack.

Well, I finally did it. I sold all of my vBulletin licenses and closed all of my forums. I’m free (but not cheap )
I’m definitely going to devote more time to this blog, adding more updates on my son, more tips and stuff for parents of Asperger kids, and just more “stuff” that I like and hope you will too.

Speaking of my son, he’s doing great! His new psychiatrist has re-done some of his meds, taken him off some and added something else, and he is really doing great. His teachers are impressed with his behavior and his new motivation. He is honestly trying, both in school and at home. I’m a happy mama.

Ok I’m off to bed, but I’ll be posting more often, so check back on me!

Heart monitor

Well goody for me! Went to the cardiologist yesterday, and he decided to put me on this portable heart monitor for 24 hours.
For anybody who’s never worn one – it’s not fun. The adhesive from the leads is driving me nuts, I have to remember to take this darn box around with me, have to write down every single ‘episode’, etc etc etc.

I can’t wait to get this thing off.

Old age

Peggy — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 03:23:43 +0000

Ok so I’m getting old.

I had an appointment with a dermatologist today. He removed a few “skin abnormalities” from my back and left shoulder. A couple were sent off for biopsies, should know something next week, but he doesn’t think they’re anything but “old age creeping up on you”.

Ya gotta love these docs

My How Things Change

You just never know what life is going to throw at you, or who’s going to shoot you in the foot (or stab you in the back).
But I have always had a motto – “No one can do to you what you don’t let them do“.
Think about that. I sure have lately.

But here’s another motto I go by – “You reap what you sow” – the Bible.
And that gives me peace that would otherwise elude me at times like this.

Working nights sucks sometimes

Peggy — Sun, 17 May 2009 01:20:58 +0000

I have a really good part-timejob, working as a non-medical, in-home caregiver for a company called Comfort Keepers. The company is great, the pay is, eh, decent, I guess, and they allow me to be very flexible in what hours I can work. We’ve settled, finally, on Friday and Saturday nights, 11pm – 7am. Works great for me, because my boy is with his dad.

I take care of a very sweet elderly lady, who sleeps most of the night, but someone has to be with her due to safety concerns – falling, etc.

Working like this allows me to bring in a part-time income, while being able to design for vBulletin almost fulltime, as well as being available for my son when he needs me. More on that in another post.

The only reason this sucks is I have an extremely hard time sleeping during the day, and since it’s not a constant thing, there are 5 other nights that I have to sleep. ugh. Talk about sleep cycle confusion! :p

Anyway, I’m about to start getting ready for work, so off for now!
