What did you accomplish today?

If things don't get worse, I won't need to learn sign language, having had hearing problems myself as a child I already practice pretty good communication hygiene with her. I always had a nagging suspicion.
She is just so incredibly high functioning and intelligent that she can navigate as you said.
Still, I have a feeling there is going to be life before today and life after this day.

She will need hearing aids that is all.
That's just the moments in time that make us who we are.

Got an $1800 bill from the ambulance company. Whatever code they sent to my insurance company made it seem like it was from a vehicle accident when it was just a fall in our house. They wanted to know if we got a lawyer or if auto insurance would cover it. I don't think I can sue my dog for leaving a black toy on a darkened floor in the house.

You're getting hammered with big bills. Will it be lower if they correct the code?
Sent some paperwork off to the insurance company clarifying what happened, I hope. Contacted the ambulance company and told them what was up, they "made a note of it" The insurance company didn't even respond to them.

If you ever get to ride snow like this that starts the day as champagne and ends up like mashed potatoes you don't need cocaine.

For you this would be an impossipulity due to your aversion to cold, it takes some practice to get good enough to fully enjoy it.

This is not unlike your daughter's situation. She will be able to adapt and navigate as she likely already has. Perhaps she is already reading lips and you never knew it, she may not even know she is doing it. She will be able to navigate this, perhaps wait a few years before showing her the dirty girl sign language that gets posted here though.
:peace:
Very good point. My cross the street neighbors when we lived in town had a deaf daughter. They found out when they were riding in the car one night, and she ask them to turn the light on so she could hear what they were saying. She was reading lips and no one knew she was deaf.

When we were at Wichita Falls I was watching the lightning hitting the buildings downtown when an oak tree about 50 feet from our trailer got hit. Did you know there are little sparks that hang off a lightning bolt and they look about 2 feet wide up close? I don't think I touched the floor once on my run to the bedroom in the back. I don't know how I didn't wet myself.
I've had some close calls. Going to roll up the windows in the work truck it got the pine tree the truck was parked under. Blew bark all over me and everything else.

In the garden again this morning. Not even close to catching up, but what I have got done is eating up space in a hurry.

Going to the viewing for my wife's cousin here in a little while. I already ask the customers if I could slip away for half an hour. Not something I'm looking forward to, except that I know where the coffee pot is and I'm not afraid to made a new pot if needed, and I will see lots of folks I haven't seen since the last time someone died. The wife is driving here, then riding with me. She can use me having to get back to work as an excuse not to stay so long.

doing better i don't feel as tired/weak anymore.

going to work early tomorrow boss wants me to come in 3 hours earlier either way it helps me make up some hours i missed so i aint complaining. dad got the check it seems for the car which was pretty fucking fast. about 3 days after he got the bank to sign off of it. maybe by next week can get a car already. there is another mail for him by the car company which my car was under idk what it is about but it says "approved" i am guessing it is a pre approval for a loan or something? idk how those work but i know he wanted to get another car from that same company.

been talking to the girl still everything is going good. still trying to save up on that car doe. deciding what i want to get as well hard to really get a v8 because speed limit and traffic here won't really allow me to use it to a great extent but that is still my plan for now.

Fired up the lawn sprinklers, the ones in the front yard didn't want to come on so I need to figure that out tomorrow. Roxy the pup didn't totally loose her mind like I thought she would. She was trying to bite the water coming out, but our other dog did that. There was one sprinkler in the middle of the lawn that was kinda stuck and she had her face right in it when it broke loose. She couldn't figure out which way to go to get out of the water until I called her.

Woke up slightly hungover this morning made bacon and eggs the breakfast of champions.
Cleaned the house got the kids making Mother’s Day presents for tomorrow.
Defoliated my plants, feed chickens and the dog. Spent 20 mins chasing the horse to try and take his wet blanket off. I swear that bastard knows when I’m hungover. Now just tidying up from yesterday’s weather
The clouds looked like this 22C9467D-E7D6-4CBB-A11F-801254329630.jpeg
And then the ground looked like this. Notice the water coming back up the drain came in fast
