Denied by the disability people again. Notably, they claim to have not been given crucial information from my therapist that she assures me that A) She gave them a lot of documentation, and B) she has heard from people in the disability office actually had said documents.

They also apparently decided that, because I was diagnosed with autism in December 1995, that, therefore, several other problems, including my sleep disorder (which only truly kicked in almost twenty years later), were ALSO diagnosed by then.

I need more cookies, stat!

We took my younger ("baby") brother to 1st day of college orientation today. Justy (Justin) ,was born autistic ... severely so. My life-long project.
A few from other forums will remember him. He's been my "project" since he was born. Along with my doggie Lorenzo, thanks to all the other animals on the ranch out
here, he's pretty much now "normal". He was able to do well in High School, and got into the college of his choice. He still does not do very well with loud noise, and some other environments, but he knows himself well enough now to understand and avoid those things. I feel like an empty nester parent .. but we have built in a few "fail-safe" *outs* so if something comes up he can call for help. I lectured his roommates they had to watch out for him. Surprisingly they also had experience in their friends circles with autism and were understanding. When he's not home, my doggie is going to be lost.

I need to pee. They removed the porta potty at the bus stop in St. Paul so now it's an hour and a half ride without a potty break.

Freezing me bollocks off. I hate winter.

If I could, I would happily send you 20 or 30 or 40 degrees F.  You could keep them for the next four months.

Is that a thing? I mean, can we do that, just send people excess degrees?

I'd hate to deprive you.

There HAS to be a commercially viable way to do carbon capture. I know it's being done, but somehow there has to be a way to increase it astronomically.

What's he going to study?  That's exciting that he is doing so well.

My oldest grandchild is leaving for college next month.  I think she is back to psychology after a brief period of considering veterinary medicine.  We'll see how it goes after the first year.
