Oh lonely poster art thou Cynthia,

forsaken by all. Fear not! I-ist hast come to rescue thee!

Well, the end of May is upon us. It is only right that someone post at least once each month. This has been a very busy time of year. Ry just finished soccer and t-ball just started. What weeks those were when they overlapped, and Ron going to class at night as well. This is the last week of school for us. Friday is the hot dog roast at lunch, and carnival in the afternoon. Monday and Tuesday is the school trip to Cedar Point. Then freedom, glorious freedom. I'm so ready to indulge our night owl tendencies. And no more lunch packing. Hooray! What else has been happening? Monday, Ry had a toothache. Tuesday, we went to the dentist in Saranac, and he had a cavity. Of all the nerve of that tooth. Firstly, it had sealant on it! Secondly, we just saw the dentist in March. So, they ended up getting him a filling right then. Also, he needed new glasses. It has only been 9 months since his last exam. He wasn't seeing well, so I took him in. Turns out his eyes had worsened four steps in each eye. That is a huge increase for less than a year, so we are trying bifocals to try and slow the progression. Wish they'd known about that when I was a kid. I hate for him to follow in my shoes. The theory is that his eyes are weakened because it is such a strain for the eyes to focus up close, such as reading, through lenses that are so strong and are designed to help him see far away. The bifocal will be easier on the eye because he'll be reading through barely any prescription. The glasses look cool! And they have the long-desired transition lenses. Z man is growing insanely. I just took out eight pair of shorts from his drawer and put them into Ry's. Yes, it is true. Ry still tops him by 3-4 inches, but that isn't much considering they are three years apart. We just finished putting in a huge garden. I hate gardening. It is Ry's 4H garden, but we added a lot of things because of Ron's diet being so reliant on produce. Yes, I will be freezing und canning this summer. We have cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, brussel sprouts, carrots, beans, corn, turnips, parsnips, rutabaga, dill, cilantro, yellow squash, buttercup squash, cucumbers, spaghetti squash, pumpkins, giant pumpkins, cantaloupe, watermelon, radishes, bananalope, and gosh, I'm sure I've forgotten something. And today, speaking of 4H, we got a rabbit. Those pink eyes are freaky. Hassenpepper anyone? Me, well I'm looking for a job. Not very successfully. I have a part time job, setting up a computerized inventory system where Ron works, but it isn't really starting yet. Computer issues. Thankfully, not my problem for once. Mom was released on her own recognizance this week, or in other words, she can now travel freely without supervision. She seems to be doing well. Got the ok to drive. She was having a little trouble finding words and with her short term memory for awhile, but the doctors said that was normal. Brain needed time to heal and all. Dad is in full spring mode. We all know what that means. You will notice I did not plant zuchinni. Dad has that market cornered. We went camping over Memorial weekend. It rained. Meh. Whatever, it was still fun. I got a lot of reading done. Coming home was a mess. I had mud in the bottom of the washer. Tomorrow, I need to take Z to the doctor. He has this rash that won't go away. On his bum, in case anyone is interested. He had STREP on his bum earlier this year and I'm wondering if it is back. Ok, TMI, I know. But interesting, nonetheless. If you happen to run into him though, don't mention it. He might be sensitive about it. Me, well, I'm just me. Everyone else's life keeps me busy. Who needs a life of her own?

Tag, Abbigail, you are it.
