and did i forget to mention the half-dozen or so u.s. marshalls (protective vests, clearly marked, etc.) that were swarming the place yesterday morning when we were leaving for work? or the cop car that came tearing into our parking lot when i hit the horn for sluggo-the-parking-space-usurper, and who just as quickly threw it in reverse and squealed tires going backwards out of there to turn left at the road?

does anyone TELL us what is going on? no. just a wave and a "have a nice day" as we exit. arrrghhhhh!

i'm going back to bed. if my head is going to explode i'd rather it did so while i was relatively comfortable.

oh, nice touch. they're renovating the unit under ours. with a large outdoor saw cutting lumber, etc. , directly under my bedroom window. wee bee beee beee beeee

Nan, your posts make my life seem relatively uneventful and quiet. I don't know if this requires a Thank You or an apology.

my life is usually very quiet. it just saves it all up and dumps "stuff" on me over a two or three week period about this time every year. sometimes a five or six week period.

i still wanna know what the federal marshalls were doing here. it's not immigration - they send ICE agents for that. some fugitive they're after, i guess. we have a lot of russian/eastern european types in the immediate area, maybe the russian mafia misplaced someone again....

never mind

I saw my grandsons yesterday. They usually visit me in the holidays but because of my mother's health they did not come this time and have kept away because of my own slump into exhaustion.

Such beautiful boys! Jimmy has his mother's beauty moulded into a male form. Ubby3 came directly to me at school and gave me a big cuddle.
Their NT little brother is sooo cute. ...swoon

Jimmy is performing in true aspie form academically - well up on national averages. Ubby3 on the other hand struggles with some aspects of language and is below average in writing.

Helen and I remembered that Chuck did not learn to read until he was 12. If we didn't know about aspergers we would think that our beloved Ubby was backward and treat him differently than we do now.

How lucky my unique and brilliant Ubby3 is to live at this time. He is reading at 8. He understands about aspergers. He has friends. When school becomes too much he has a day off school each week.

Hi Nocturnal Quilter! I read your blog and enjoyed it very much. If you haven't guessed I'm the symbolic NT here.

Lurking and picturing the boys' happy reunion with Nanna.

Hey, Nan, this might be good until Cat Heaven is open for the season, it is in San Diego and I am thinking about starting a franchise in Salem!


anyone else interested?
Come on, Chuck! We can put a sledge hammer and tire in the back room!
I'll bet there is a future in it!

ok, one more then i'm gone for a bit.

the animals are acting oddly. all of them - the cats are clingy beyond words. can't go into another room without all of them appearing and settling within 10 feet of me. i go to another room, and the cats that were almost comatose immediately reappear and settle down again. the rats are oddly active, and wanting to come out of their cage more than normal. the birds in thebig cage are unsettled, as if something is disturbing them. normally they're long asleep by now (it's been dark for almost 3 hours). little spike is very clingy, insists on perching on my collar up by my neck (yes, there's a towel there) and staying very still.

don't know if it's the weather changing, or what. it's very quiet out, nothing unusual other than we both felt a bit "creeped out" when we were outside. just documenting it, in case something unusual happens in the next couple of days.

...sledge hammerin'? Count me in!! !

Most days ...but... not today. Feeling strangely out of sorts today. Sadly happy. Happily sad. Maybe my mood is found somewhere within these variations:

...maybe those of you who know how to cry can do it for me and get it out of my system. Maybe I should just go watch Oz. Maybe I need hormone therapy.

oh yea! my e.u. passport came. now to figure out where we'll move to in a few years, when it's time. need a nice quiet village somewhere that has access to a library and the internet, where the kid will be able to get he medical stuff looked after and i can survive on my retirement. have to check further, but i'm betting the rents in the north half of ireland will be dropping, though i don't think the transportation/library system is all that good. wonder about the north of england...?
