GOOD DAY!

Today was an all around swell day!

• Dave was cleared for independence within his room so he no longer has a bed or chair alarm screaming whenever he decides to get up without help (which he has stubbornly done from the get go)
• He is using his right hand with more and more confidence and can write his name legibly, maybe even better than his old chicken scrawl I teasingly called "Chinese".
• He can go to the bathroom in privacy
• His speech is becoming clearer with the use of his "language notebook", although I am fascinated by the gibberish that spews forth from his lips I fondly call "Davish". 
• Good buddy Steve brought Dick's burgers for lunch and Dave was in heaven!
• But best of all:  DAVE IS COMING HOME ON FRIDAY!! (if you had asked me how I felt about this 2 days ago I would have burst into tears, but I feel confident now)
  
• 2 of Dave's electrician buddies came over and put up handrails and did whatever tasks I needed done in preparation for the big day.
• I won a million bucks with a lottery ticket....just kidding....but I did find a dime on the ground!
  

The gate keepers know my car on sight with my frequent comings and goings. I am sure they will miss me and I expect Christmas cards this year from each and every one of them!
