Kittykat good luck with getting a new chair. I keep thinking that is what dh needs. All of our couches have recliner chairs as part. His brown one is showing it's age already. And not sitting very straight. We got rid of the red one now that was just one of those futon types that kinda worked to sleep on. Brought mom and dad's big sectional in that is navy. It's in so much better shape than anything we have but same thing.. wasn't quite the color I had in mind. Ohh well. Brown and navy are fine. The sectional has a wooden console part that matches the coffee table and I've arranged end tables and shelves so that my 2 tone cream and espresso paint on all my mismatched stuff stands out. So much better it actually all goes together now. Except the sectional was very new in dd newborn photos at grandma's house. It went downstairs 10 12 years later and is in very good shape except the recliner that dad sat in all the time is not conducive to dh back. I think one day a good lazy boy would be good for him. But for now I'm very happy. My house is clean to corners with all the rearrange. And almost matches lol. I found some fabric the other day in mom's craft stuff. Navy piece. White/ navy plaid and a floral navy piece. Hmm. Cushion covers. Now I just need something with navy brown and a splash of red my main accent color. Lol
Wow furniture saga
. Yikes that's terrible you reacted to what was supposed to help the rash gma. I hope you can be successful with the allergist. Music be terribly uncomfortable. How nice to use mom's house to host the guests.
What to do today. First off I need to book some appointments. Hair is priority .. mine and then get her to go to mom again. See if ds wants one. He's in the wanting longer hair again but goodness so off routine I had to remind him to shower the other day.
Need to do whb. Continue sorting. I don't know if I could add up 200 things to put away. A good dent tho. Some crafting?
Oh and then there's the kitchen. I need to feel better first... my morning sore... my dishwasher errored again. I found it at bedtime last night. It won't drain. Dh told me how to take the hose off and there's a filter that must have something in it again. Got to remember to do a better job putting stuff in. Well that was the load I started with pans and leftovers. Supper is still not included. It rinsed everything just enough I can probably take out the big pans and wash those and fit the rest in. If I can get it to go. If not I gotta hand wash ....
First thing first soak and get myself more mobile. I think I'm gonna see if I can get a massage too. Physio is wierd. She definitely does help . My body is sick weird.. one day I went in so in pain and next time was a really good day. 2 days later I'm sore again. It's cause all my core muscles are so weak and the injured ones are getting weaker. Exercises are supposed to strengthen my legs and core and shoulders but so far I can't get enough routine to help.
Ds ... hmmm . Trying baby steps? I've been doing some research. I think there's one more side to his autism... Big words... pathological demand avoidance. Part of asd. Where they freeze when hard things happen and can't do what is asked even if they want to. The school thing was harder than he expected... he didn't do as well as he thought he could.. he wanted so bad to do it to fulfill his goals.. but he can't... now we have to work around that. He did it in school too with science. Something changed.. a lower mark and right down on himself... at least that's my take on it all. Now I need more baby steps for him to overcome. Plus overwhelming social situation where his sister brought more company than just them. He's still getting used to baby lil j. So many people and activity plus he does not do well too hot... add that all up and now we have to dig out from the cave....
I can't just expect him to take to a counselor.. if I could find one. He will not be comfortable. I think it has to be me getting the right ideas from the counselor at least to break through and get him comfortable. He won't talk to anyone on demand. He has to initiate it and then he can jabber on like anything.
Oh my goodness I guess I gave you all a novel again. Skippable if you want
