What the hell is it with NT"s? I was watching Lemon do her little dyslexic test last night and I got curious about it. Did one of my own. This morning I mentioned it to the The Wife. Unfortunately I said I had never looked it up, the definers of dyslexia and didn't want to. So what does she do? Yup. It's like don't they understand details can make me nuts. That I don't stop thinking about it, like I need more. If I feel I need to know, I'll look. So anyway, I'm really beat, I mean I should have been to a soft spot hours ago when I did this thing. The wild thing was I wasn't switching letters around very much. Now today I sit here typing a lot, I throw away a ton during the day, I'm using the spell check and the number of letters and stuff messed up is high again. Now why would that be, tired and I don't do it much and alert and I do? Oh hell I don't want to know, just an observation. Well according to the unwanted information, I'm mild, maybe even low. It still doesn't explain, or at least I don't see it, why I read the way I do. I do wonder if when I'm tired the brain race is slower and I have to take more time typing and reading. More alert and I just go to fast or try to.

Only two switched letters in the above, according to spell check, maybe that means I should go to sleep. Naw, coffee is more fun.

I do wish they would make keyboards with bigger keys. It's all standard, like I don't exist. I punch two keys together a lot, I mean really a lot. All I want is a little space. Story of my life.

Cute little duffer. I suspect he'll being going a lot faster pretty darn soon. I swear my middle kid came out at a full gallop. I nicknamed her Spider Monkey, I mean that kid could get out of anything, climb up anything, damn she was a hand full. Get into trouble all the time. Well, if you think about the opposite, I'm grateful, wouldn't want it any other way. Miss her.


Did you know?....... I couldn't find a single recipe for kid cookin. I mean there were a ton on what a kid could cook with a bit of help. But not a one on ingredients to add while they simmer, bake or fry. Yeah I was doing that earlier today, you just don't want to know what really goes through my head. I suppose I could just sort of wing the ingredients. Fatten that kid up I say, more ice cream. Spoil em, you get to send them home or to me.

Well... I just had some fun. I chopped my hair short and colored it. Drastic hair changes always make me happy for some odd reason. Of course all the digital cameras we have (aprox 3) have been taken to other places. So now my tradition of always taking new pics after I leave the salon is in limbo. That is about the only time I ever take my picture. Oh well, I'll figure something out.

It must be hair chopping season. I just chopped mine a couple of days ago. I did it myself. Whenever anyone asks me who cut my hair I tell them some strange lady in the bathroom did it. I always feel a surge of energy when I chop off my hair. Like starting over, or something.

I cleaned my bedroom the day before I chopped my hair. Nothing under the bed or the dressers anymore. That's a good feeling. Of course, I couldn't throw the stuff away, just had to shove it somewhere else. Shifting the s**t.

I would love to whittle my life down to the bare essentials, but it's hard when you share your house with five other people who do not like to throw anything away. My 5 yr old grandson has his own collection of items that the rest of us have thrown away or attempted to throw away. He checks the trash cans regularly or things that are "still good".

How are you going to get to work without your car, Merle? I thought you lived in a rural area.

I'm into Feng Shui as well. The thing that weighs upon my soul, is a storage unit halfway across the USA, that I have neither the energy or the finances to have emptied and its contents delivered to me here in Florida. Its been four years since I put the stuff their and impulsively re-located down here. I am beginning to heartily resent the monthly storage payments. Half that stuff, I'm sure, could go to places like the Domestic Violence and Humane Society thrift shops. It just drives me crazy not to be able to get my hands on it and sort it all out, once and for all. I'm sure that's bad Feng Shui, having that stuff locked up like that, all this time.

Also guilty of that one. Maybe I need a wife!
