LOL! Do you know, I still have nightmares about being trapped in school. Like I have my GED but they won't let me actually leave.

School was, hands down, by far, completely and entirely, the most traumatic part of my upbringing.

And if you knew how bad the other parts tended to be, that's saying a lot. I don't have nightmares about any OTHER part of my upbringing. I used to have PTSD and I'm officially past that with everything but school.

You teachers are brave folk. lol.

I wish there was a way to fix that Abi!
I just found a speech assistant colleague has enrolled in some fancy pants Autism program. I'm interested to find out more about it. I haven't talked to her about what she plans to do with it. I keep feeling this little tug to find a niche in Communication and Autism combined somehow. She may know something I need to know too!

Had a busy day after all. We went and found 3 cemetery letterboxes with my mom, then rushed over for a riding lesson. Then off the vet for heartworm meds and Indy's neutering certificate so I can license the dogs and he won't cost me triple what an unneutered dog would cost. Ran to TSC for chicken food. Came home to find the parts for Mary's new bunny condo had arrived. After dinner I will be running to Home Depot for black zip ties so I can put it together.
I really have only coughed at the riding ring in the dust. So I think I'm improving. But I expect that I will have a lingering cough for a few weeks. Blech.

Eeep! Had to look that up! Geometry was more than 30 years ago. I rocked it, but that was a lloooooonngg time ago!
This is the program my coworker seems to be doing. She has a lot of experience working with autistic children and really enjoys it.

Not sure if it's what I'm looking for yet. She can be my guinea pig!
I am going to make a shopping list for tomorrow. But I will start my morning cleaning out the fridge.

sooooooo Mama Edna has two little ducklings peeping and peeking out from under her in her nest in a corner of the barn. DS and I managed to build a little fence from pvc pipe and the small holed chicken wire. That will hopefully keep the chickens and other ducks from hurting them. I've got to get some food and water in there for them all. It's been several years since I brooded ducklings and I have never done it with a mama duck's help before. Anyone want ducklings??? They are really cute!!

Awww....I bet they're really cute!

Too bad I'm done with ducks. Too messy for me and I'm afraid to ask Big G to build me that floating duck house I want for the pond in front.

If you change your mind........
I don't want more of them, that's for sure. I'm going to hold off a bit to see if more hatch then they're going on Craig's List. Let me know if anyone you know might want them. They're any combination of khaki campbell, blue swedish and possibly runner duck (3 of my girls are supposed to be half runner, but they just look like pale blue swedish..)

 

[glenolam]

Are you selling them or giving them away?

Giving away!

 

[glenolam]

Just checked on them. Still only the two. They're too stinkin' cute! I'll get some pictures in a bit.
