It's Sunday

Alex's Daily ( more like hourly ) Re-Play

 

Harry Belafonte - Jump in the Line

Good grief. Now I know why the police use loud, annoying music as a torture in some hostage situations. Seriously. If I saw Harry on the street, I'd poke him directly in the eye. 

I had started to post on Friday but the pickings were slim so I saved up for today. Thursday night we travelled to Richmond for Rosmy trans night. Alex always looks forward to this group so we try to never miss. Lately he's been pushing my limits though. Can we go up earlier? Remember, I'm pretty much sitting in my car in the parking lot this whole time because well, I'm not allowed in. So, I say fine and we go up early so that he can hang out with one of the facilitators there who he really looks up to. The problem is, when the group is over at 8:30 pm......no Alex. 8;40....no Alex. Alex appears at 9:00 pm. I'm feeling a bit trampled on. No more leeway, I have to draw the line somewhere. My aching assbone and frozen fingers can't abide being used and abused.

On a different note: chest binders. Alex has wanted one for awhile. We either didn't have the money or it just wasn't a priority. He's been wearing tight sports bras. He came across a site that gives away binders. BINDERS This same site also has a great FAQ area. Everyday he is hoping a binder will appear in the mailbox. I'll let you know when it shows.

In social news, our new friend Taylor, has become a 'special' person in Alex's life. On Saturday they went on a movie date to see Frozen ( Alex had seen it before but didn't tell Taylor because she had never seen it before, eiyiyi ) anywho, they had a fantastic time and were anxious to have another 'date'. The problem is, Taylor lives pretty far away, like an hour. I don't have that kind of gas money. Sorry kids but isn't this what Skype is for?? Have I mentioned how I can not wait for this kid to get a drivers license?? Yeah, that.

And finally, he has taken up looming. Yes, looming. His lovely friend Simran got him interested in it a couple weeks ago and now he's a looming fool. And because I'm a mondo-supportive parent, I bought looms and yarn for him to busy himself with indefinitely. I mean, it's cheap and keeps him occupied. It a WIN! So far he has made me a tiny rainbow scarf and a fuzzy headband. I'm hoping for a hat soon. 

The Loomer

We visited Barnes and Noble today and much to my surprise they had a book I was looking for. On impulse I bought it in hardcover. I figure once Alex and I read it, we can donate it to Rosmy's library for others to enjoy.

This concludes the week. Only 8 more days till Endo.
