friday's feast

Appetizer
When was the last time you were surprised?

Ha...I'm surprised every day.

This morning the psychiatrist of my autistic son called very early in the morning.
I's written her a letter asking her to transfer the care to another psychiatrist, because she forgot to subscribe him for help after his final exam, and for a facility where he can stay a weekend in the two months.
Because she referred me to someone who would help with very important forms, telling me it was a very experienced person. Well, not experienced in advicing me.
And because she wanted to send him to a home without giving a clear indication and without being honest about the minimal time he would spend there. (Said: a couple of weeks, but I knew from a collegue the observation period is at least three months and the therapy time one and a half years.) Added to it: it would take us about 5 hours to get there!!!! So visiting him half an hour would mean I had to leave the other kids alone for a complete day!
But what really made me angry was that he's not getting proper medication evaluation. I have to go to our family doc to get him a check up each time, and he's not getting the right medication. So he has many problems that could have been prevented.
On top of it she said she had the opinion he couldn't change his behaviour anymore.
Well, I think that with proper guidance he can do far more and be much more friendly. Sometimes it needs someone else than mom to get those changes realised.

So she called, but luckily didn't get me. She was told to mail or write a letter.
But I think she doesn't want things written down. LOL!

Soup
Fill in the blanks: My eyes are ________, but I wish they were __________.
My eyes are greyish ble, but I wish they were enlessly deep brown or wintery grey.

Salad
If you were a Beanie Baby, what would you look like and what would your name be?

Had to look it up.
Well.. I'm not a beanie baby. I'm me and not a beanbag made into a bear.

Main Course
Name two things you consistently do that you consider to be healthy habits.

Brush my teeth and take my meds on time each day.

Dessert
What brand of toothpaste are you using these days? Do you like it? Why or why not?

Meridol, because I have very sensitive teeth.
It's OK. Kind of neutral. They can add a more minty taste.
