@Punk In Drublic , I'm going to require that you drone that setup my way. It's lovely.
Guh, I found out I was gifted something for free today, only I had to pay $30 to an urgent care to tell me it was kidney infection. Then I had to go fill a script and I was like, "Dang it then I will just
shop."
The first observation I had was like, (I am usually not paying close attention) was, "Wow, in at least THIS location society has gotten extremely obese. " EXTREMELY. I counted like 50 people before I got to "slightly normal on the fat side." Normally I ain't got time for that, because I'm busy weaving between carts and stuff but today the people around me got off very lightly because I was moving at half speed. I did not have the energy to redirect the blockages I just leaned on my cart.
In line behind me for my script there was a buzzsaw, or something. After a little listening to the cadence and rhythm I was like, "Nope, that is an autistic child" and when I turned to look the mom was being so CHILL. She was just like, keeping him contained and really focused all like, calm. So I said, "You are extremely good with your son," and she was like, "No habla Englies" so we had this animated chat about autism and "so much work," and I was like "miming, " "Yeah, you never get to sleep, but you are doing AWESOME," and telling her at first I thought it was an "el tigre" but it wasn't (I really hope that means what I think it means) but like, any parent who is GOOD with their NORMAL child gets brownie points from me, but if you can contain your 11 year old autistic child I AM GOING to give you the verbal equivalent of a trophy, even if I have to do it mime. I cannot even imagine it must be a case of my Creator giving me what I can handle so ANYTIME I see an awesome mom to the Autistic well, I complement because even nowadays they get nasty looks half the time, like as if they had turned their child into a chainsaw on PURPOSE. Or done some sort of DEEP SIN.
So now, I must get well. I'm kind of relieved though thought I was loosing steam, for like no reason but a kidney infection is plenty of reason.
