Rhett and Scarlett

Scarlett and Rhett

 We have had our rescue pups for over a year.  We kept their humane society names.  I did try to figure out their real names but that didn't really work out.  Scarlett aka Scar will answer to Cutie. Scar is the boss of this partnership. She will let you know about things and dances for her dinner.

kinda mad about the bunny ears

Rhett the toothless wonder (missing front teeth) is pretty laid back and prefers to be outside.  He likes to growl at Scarlett if she gets in his space when he has a toy.  

Rhett was a hater about the ears

This is true.  See photo below.  You got to be able to put three fingers through the handle. I explained this to a lady in the thrift store.  I will fight you on this - lol.

Inappropriate Thoughts

I had an insurance company tell me I am right. Well it wasn't in so many words, but I will take it.  Unfortunately, it didn't solve any of my insurance woes.  See Deep Thoughts.

Deep Thoughts

(basically, a vent)

I don't understand why insurance companies and doctor's offices think I should be in charge of my son's insurance.  Do I look qualified for this kind of thing?  I think not.  I have been on a wild insurance ride against my will this week. It involved multiple medical insurance companies and letters, calls and denials.  Just when I thought I got it fixed something else would pop up.  My son makes no phone calls but signs for himself. This just makes it complicated. I handle all the administrative paperwork for his life. If a neurotypical person has a hard time navigating this circus how does a disabled person do it. After all the calls and whatnot everything is not resolved and just seems to lend to more calls. It stresses me out.

This seems to be a lesson I have to learn over and over again.  It actually just doesn't apply to autistic people but others in generally.  You need to meet people where they are.

What I Read in April

 I am linking up with Modern Mrs Darcy's Quick Lit. Check out what everyone else is reading.

Jimmy Bluefeather by Kim Heacox

I am reading this as part of a backlist challenge. I loved this book. It is very Pacific Northwest.  It is about a grandson who hurts his leg and his dream of being in the NBA and Grandfather, Keb, who is afraid that his culture is being lost. Keb is part Norwegian and part Tlingit native. It is set in the village of Jinkaat in Southeast Alaska. They build a canoe and sail it to Crystal Bay which is now a protected bay. There is a good bit of family drama and maybe just a few too many characters but a good story.

Is there anymore retiree than walking to McDonald's for coffee?   We got in a 3 mile walk complete with coffee and hashbrowns.  We aren't sadists.  LOL

Deep Thoughts

Jen Hatmaker had a great blog on change.  I think it is a worthy read. It got me thinking a lot about the changes we need to make sometimes that are self-directed.  How hard it to make those changes.

Happy 50th

 

Sent a 50th Sucks bouquet to my sister.  Happy 50th Birthday.  These are always fun to make.
