I Told You I Was Fine

Ha Ha Ha, everybody else was wrong!  Meaning, of course, I was right, how could you doubt it!  The Mastitis is all gone.  My ruthless, relentless draining of the infection worked. I have learned over many years of infections, sinusitis & abscesses.  Cutting or in the case of teeth pliering out the problem & thenContinueContinue reading “I Told You I Was Fine”

I Don’t Want To Make Anymore Calendars, Does That Make Me A Bad Mother?

Warning this is depressing & humourless.  I advise you not to read it, unless you are interested in Autism &/or Depression. A year ago I convinced my two youngest not to buy the expensive glossy calendars because the school produced calendars would be more useful & I would reward them by getting nicer pictures ofContinueContinue reading “I Don’t Want To Make Anymore Calendars, Does That Make Me A Bad Mother?”

Autism – Don’t worry they grow out of it!

You may have heard about autistic children that insist on wearing a piece of clothing even when it is inappropriate.

In the Spirit of Spreading the Message

First to all my caring followers I am absolutely fine, and so is the rest of the family.  But I think its important to disseminate information about autism including subjective experiences.  One day a really smart person will collect all these little tidbits and who knows what will & won’t be useful in the finalContinueContinue reading “In the Spirit of Spreading the Message”

Chocolate is not the Sweetest Thing in This Shop.

On our way home from the KSP Writers’ Circle we stopped to have lunch at Whistler’s Chocolate Company in the Swan Valley.  We being Grandma, Alex and me.  I know what you are thinking, chocolate for lunch!  Actually I had a chicken pastry with salad, Alex had a sandwich wrap and Grandma ate chips; whichContinueContinue reading “Chocolate is not the Sweetest Thing in This Shop.”
