Things are lookin' up...

Yep, that's right! Things are lookin' up finally. Here's a list of observations I've made in the last few days:

The days are lighter longer.
The air is getting warmer.
People are getting out of the winter funk and not hibernating.
The snow is melting away.
I haven't had to use the remote start on my truck all week.

Oh the list could just go on and on and on. You get the hint.


Tonight we celebrated my grandma's 75th birthday. Wow, I hope I can live to be that old. Or maybe not. I don't know. Anyway, we went to the Fish Fry down at Liberty's Restaurant. Other than the actual food, it sucks going to eat down there. It is sooooo friggin' packed and tight down there. I don't think they've changed out the tables or the seating arrangements down there for a very long time. Probably not in my lifetime so far. Put it this way, I have my cell phone on vibrate mode so it doesn't annoy people with a frickin ringtone, and I thought it was ringing quite frequently, I kept checking it over and over. Nope, it wasn't anyone calling me, Kt and I were rubbing legs constantly at the table. (not like we were groping each other) Tight, tight quarters.


Before you read this part, I want you to know that this is one step that is looking up and it's not meant to be negative, but to just let my feelings be explained.

I found out some very disturbing news the other day. This news was something I was figuring was true for quite some years now. My dad told me that my nephew was taken to a specialist and they said he is mildly autistic. He is operating at a 2 1/2 yr. old level and he's 5. Kt and I have really been talking about this for a while now and have been telling my mom and sister he needed to be taken to a specialist but they would just say "You need to give it more time" "He's a premie" "Blah, Blah!" I'm so f*ckin' sick of hearing that. I'm so very pissed he wasn't getting help like 3 frickin' years ago when I was trying to get them to go for more specialized testing. Please let my mom and sister see the light and listen to Kt and I for once. I think they need help too. Really, they should go get tested on something like how to learn how not to ignore us and be ignorant to it all. I really just want to sit them both down and smack them around a little. Hopefully they will give him the one on one specialized attention he needs and help him grow and learn as much as he can and wants.

Enough for now. Only happy thoughts for the rest of the week.

More food posts to come. Made General Tso's chicken Sunday. It turned out pretty good and I do have some pics.

See y'all
