Our account of Wed. begins with a phone call at 4:30am, which was my husband telling me he left BOTH his phones at home– work and personal cell. Caspian heard me getting up so he got up & we both drove Grandpa his phones at 5am! Awesome start to the day (not), the only good thing being my husband never does these things and always brags that if you always put things in the same place, these things do not happen. We are more alike sometimes than different. We both need routines to not lose track of things and stay in sinc, it’s just that he loves routines and I do not.
Caspian being awake at 5am did not go back to sleep, while I zonked back out at home for 3 more hours. He is missing a med. but has been doing well, as long as he is not too much restricted from Small Worlds game on the Internet. . . (If he lived here, things would have to change.)
We actually have not been going many places or doing sight-seeing much at all. They’ve been hanging in the neighborhood, swimming, and they each have a couple good friends in the neighborhood. We went swimming for an hour & 1/2 or so, & it was sunny again. I had forgotten the never-ending cloudy days of Indiana until the boys acted like they had to RUSH back to swim because the sun was out! I siad, “It’s always out here, just an occasional rain shower. . .”
Last evening we then went downtown w/AL to his Mind Gravy poetry/music night. It was actually an awesome night. The coffee house filled to the brim with people even standing outside (no more seats). People sang and said their pieces. I didn’t read anything, AL only read one, there were so many wanting to speak their thoughts. Raven played chess during most of it on his I-POD, playing one older man who happened to be AT the event 2 games & beating him as well. Caspian was impressed to get an autographed copy of a CD from “SHEEM-ONE” a friend of ours who is determined to make his living doing music, DJ-ing and doing positive hip hop. People sang and spoke about LOVE, our friends Sufia & Seitu performed also, with Seitu getting the crowd to sing w/ him. It was a good night, which didn’t end until close to 10:30 after cleaning up and clearing out, so we got home after the pool was closed to anyone under 21. We were all tired.
