He will learn so much in 2 years. I hope he makes friends and likes the content.

He was actually beside himself today. Poor kid, he had to get a cold right before we hit the road... but he was so positive and upbeat and thinking of all the possibilities rather than the obstacles. So proud of him. :heart:

This is after day #1, mind. I will be fighting anyone and anything not on this path.

That's a good mindset to have at the start.  Focus on the possibilities, the obstacles will be there, but, there are always options to get over them or around them!   :thumbup:

Day #2 was just as good. He was saying how much more interesting it was, because it was more about what he was there for rather than all that boring administrative stuff. The kid was barely responsive during the drive back home, but I think his autie self is proud of what was accomplished.

It's been some time since, and he's still upbeat and positive. This is a wonderful thing.

Me, I'm drinking a beer now, which feels very good and rewarding after a very long day.

This was yesterday - we got a new oven. It's a very basic gas one given that we're renting and didn't have to pay for it, but at least the oven igniter works and the grill has a handle (it fell off on the old one).

That's What I'm waiting for - the dentist has to wait for government clearance or some such bullshit. I could be waiting for up to 6 months. But I look forward to it as it feels good to have a clean mouth.

Think of the money.

I woke up to find both of the cats inside asleep. I thought they would be roaming the countryside since I let them out very early this morning.

Okay, I got one now.  I made the first grilled cheese sandwich I ever cooked for myself (and the first one I've eaten since I was a kid) and it turned out surprisingly decent.  Now I'm going to learn from my mistakes and make one that's even better

So Carla and I made another mutual decision about another vacation destination.  Usually we go to Boston in January by train for an indulgence trip for a couple of nights.  We've done this for quite a few years.  Lately with some budget hits that have come our way.  We decided with relief to not go.  Hotel rates in Boston are going thru the roof, our favorite gourmet restaurant is deteriorating in service and going up in price as well, AND finally like Florida, we've seen and done just about everything there is to see and do in Boston.  Bottom line we need to do something and go somewhere different.  Carla was relieved that I concurred with her idea.  Reading each others mind seems to be an improving skill in our relationship!😎  And that's a good thing!🥰
