I don’t know why she didn’t clue in on this one after I again went
over it with her twice. When we got back to the car once we had
left the dentist office, my mom said to me that it was because she wasn’t alert yet after
sitting in the waiting room for an hour doing almost nothing. My mom also said once we got back
to the car that she could run back inside and change it to maybe sometime in the beginning of
November, I then told her just to leave it now that we were already at the car and to give me a
few days to think about it before she phones them and changes it. I think that once again she
was trying to trigger me to hit her, you know
that Serena’s coming next week on Tuesday and I would therefore like things to continue to go
well until then so that I’ll still have good things to chat with her about. By the way, this is
the first time that I remember when my mom wasn’t alert while she was awake. The only times when
she’s not alert as far as I remember are usually after she wakes up when it takes her a while to
get going. I asked her if she fell asleep at all while she was sitting in the waiting room
waiting for me, she didn’t fall asleep once while I was in having my checkup and was awake the
whole time.
Again other than what I talked about above, the rest of my appointment went well. I didn’t
hear anybody say one word the whole time about grinding my teeth. They also told me that it was
a good checkup, I hope these are signs that I haven’t been grinding my teeth since I had some of
them rebuilt last December and when they say that “it was a good checkup” I hope they aren’t
just referring to the fact that I’ve been brushing my teeth really good. It was my dentist’s
wife, Dr. Huang, who worked on me today, she hadn’t talked to me or worked on me since I was
only a few years old. Her husband, Dr. Lee, came in and saw me at the end of my checkup. When he
saw me at the end, he asked me if he got this right that “I now live on my own.” I corrected him
and said, “no, I still live with my parents.” I had wondered who gave Dr. Lee this information.
We didn’t find out until my dad phoned us after we got home that when he had his dentist checkup
a month ago he said something to Dr. Lee about that I might be moving out sometime soon. And I
still hope that’s gunna be with Carol, I
don’t want to live by myself (even if there’d still be help for me either upstairs or
just on the other side of the door) and Carol just has to take me. The ladies in the dentist
office today liked my blue shirt, they gave me a blue toothbrush when I left “to match my blue
shirt.” The one lady there said that it seems to her that I get a bit taller each time she sees
me. My mom says that’s probably because she doesn’t see me too often and most people stop
growing before 25 years of age. The same lady asked me if I know how tall I am, my height is
6'1.
One other heavy point... You were wondering what the longest amount of time was I’ve been
away from my mom, I guess you’re right that it would’ve been for no more than a couple nights
when I use to go camping while I was in Cubs though my dad was around because he was a leader.
Most of the times I’ve been away from both of my parents overnight would have been when I use to
always go and stay with my grandparents (my dad’s parents), but I stopped doing that many
years ago. The time when Carol stayed overnight with me two summers ago (in the summer of
2006) while my parents stayed a night at the River Rock casino was the first time in many years
I had spent a night away from my parents. The time last August when Carol’s and my relationship
ended would’ve been the first time in a long time when I would’ve been away from my parents for
more than just one night if things had gone well and we were able to have done two nights. You
also asked me if I had ever been to my
grandparents’ cabin that they use to have at Watch Lake, I stayed there with my parents a few
times when I was little.
I’m glad to say that I had actually managed to sleep good last night. Remember when we went
for our walk last time you saw me three days ago I said that I know we haven’t seen any cats yet
on my walks with you, just dogs so far. I don’t think I saw cats on any of my walks since before
you started working with me. When we were driving down our street after we left my house this
morning, we saw a cat in its front yard about a block down the street from where we live. This
is the first time I saw that cat since last summer, now I know that it’s still around. It’s not
very smart and doesn’t know to stay off the road. We saw this cat a few times last year when I
went for walks with my mom and I think we might’ve also saw it once when I went for a walk with
Carol, when we use to see it on our walks last year he would always go and lay in the middle of
the street. Just before we got to the dentist, a couple crows were flying near our car and it
looked like they were going to hit us. My mom said, “they must like our car.” After we left the
dentist, we stopped at the Safeway just behind there like
I told you we would so that I could use the washroom. We then
stopped at McDonald's, the one on 32nd Avenue where you and I ate, I waited in the car and
listened to the radio while my mom went inside and got my food. We went home 148th Street after
we left McDonald's, the one that curves around the corner and becomes 32nd Avenue. We got right
through when we went home that way and it only took us the amount of time it would normally take
us when we go that way, we figured that either the work crews stopped for lunch or maybe they’re
just not working today. We went all the way on 152nd Street on our way to the dentist this
morning BTW incase they are working today. And we noticed on our way home after we left
McDonald's that they only four-laned 148th Street as far as just South of 24th Avenue, I hope
that they’ll continue working on it and four-lane it as far as the High School or at least as
far as 20th Avenue which is where you turn off to go over to my place. My mom read the menu when
she was waiting in line at McDonald's and saw that they no longer have that turkey sandwich that
I told you I might’ve tried sometime if they didn’t discontinue it. And my mom just got my lunch
today at McDonald's and didn’t get anything for herself, she just waited and made something for
herself when we got home. She got me my ten piece Chicken McNuggets with only four things
of honey sauce, medium fries, and a medium Sprite. There is now just a bit more than two pieces
of Safeway Easter cake left but not enough to make three pieces, I will have one whole slice for
my dessert after supper tonight and then after that there will be a bit more than just one slice
left. I told you I had a glazed donut for my dessert after supper last night that my dad brought
home for me the day before, I forgot to say in the message I sent you yesterday that it was
leftover from a meeting he was in. I think I might have some Dare juicy jubes for my snack
tomorrow afternoon, my mom saw on TV that the weather’s suppose to stay nice until Sunday so
maybe before my snack we can go for a walk tomorrow afternoon. I’m thinking that maybe we’d walk
passed the elementary school and then through that walkway I took you through before that goes
over to 18th Avenue. We then follow 18th Avenue to 144th Street except maybe we could make it a
bigger walk this time and instead of going right at 144th we continue down 18th another block
to 145th Street and then take a right at 145th. We can follow 145th three blocks to 16A Avenue
and then turn right and take 16A back to 144th. I should hope to have more nights where I sleep
good after a big walk like that, I think this might be the biggest walk you and I will go on so
far.
Also on our walk last Monday, remember we saw a sign just before we got back to my place that
said “it’s a $2,000 fine if you don’t clean up after you dog” and I said that’s a good deterrent
for the city to get people to clean up after their dogs. If you don’t clean up after your dog
and they don’t see you do it, I wonder how they know who did it if they later find the dog’s
mess after you’re gone. I remember when we use to take my dog, Brandy, for walks and whenever
there was crap left from another dog near where Brandy would stop to make her mess, my mom
wouldn’t clean up the messes that my dog didn’t make though my dad always cleaned up all messes
around where Brandy made her’s.
