We had to get up early this morning to go to Speech with Arlene.  Well, by early I mean, I had to get up at 7:30 to get a run in then we were out the door by 9, after showering, etc.  This was the first visit to Arlene since the summer, and she had to do an evaluation.  David did really well, but, as usual, he thought it was nothing and that he hadn’t improved.  I, as always, can’t remember the word that came out of his mouth, but both Arlene and I looked at each other in amazement.  When I said this to David, he looked at me like I was crazy.  Yes, it wan’t like he said Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (I actually checked the spelling on that) but it was a new and unusual word (whatever it was).  She also asked him to give her words that started with a specific letter, like “a vegetable that starts with a B”, and he was able to do it all but one time.  Well, I was impressed even if he wasn’t.

Afterwards we went for a coffee and then a little drive because the cleaners were at the house, and it is always better for them to have the house to themselves.  In the afternoon I ran some errands and had the car washed.  The inside windshield was getting hard to see through with the sun.  Made a simple dinner – pasta for David and broccoli for me.  Yes, a vegetable that starts with a B.  Last night I made what I thought was a very spectacular dinner.  Eggplant Parmesan Sliders.  I even made the tomato sauce from scratch.  I didn’t make the little buns that they went on.  Maybe next time!

On the job front, I now have two resumes out there in the Palm Springs area.  The one I sent out today would actually be pretty perfect because it would tie lots of the parts of my life together.  Almost as if I got a job at the Stroke Recovery Center, but not quite.  Better, I think.  Will keep you posted on all the progress if there is any.
