Being Spoiled
One of my favorite treats is when Matt reads "Walden" to me. Tonight he offered to read (and discuss) as we sat at McDonald's charging our cell phones and sipping sodas ..

Organizing a Storage Unit
Sometimes time and circumstances overtake a situation causing a bizarre state of anti-organization. That was the situation for us. The letter from the bank accepting my request to deed back a home I could no longer afford gave us exactly one (1) week to vacate. Wow. . .
Matthew was a huge help, running what almost became a 24/7 yard sale. . but, even then, packing up an autistic home while making sure the related child saw future circumstances as a supreme adventure to be envied by all, was a chore and a half . . .
And so . . . our poor storage locker holds almost our entire lives .. and it's packed in some warped state of chaos . . to be pulled out in a week or so and resorted into something resembling logic. . and, hopefully, a minimum of 50% eliminated . . sweet Matt is enjoying the transition and new friends we are making along the way. .
Our new adventure is about to begin!

MPG Game ~ 21.2 and Holding!
I'm happy to say my MPG has remained consistent even though my car feels like it's running a bit wonky. I am thinking that once I buy two (2) new front tires, new struts and get the front end realigned my MPG as well as overall vehicle performance will drastically improve.
I'll keep you updated!
