I had to go open the doors. No one has come in yet. Maybe it will be a slow day. Not that I can type while I sit at the front desk, and I cannot type at my desk, so doing this at work does not really work. I think I might try to do it at home. I have not played my game in a long while so maybe I will go back to the desk and type in there. I doubt it but there just isn't a lot of opportunity to do it. And I really need to talk about William's gradiation. He deserves it. I think I don't talk about William's good things enough and that is not fair. Plus, it was Maeghan's 21st the other day, or actually, tomorrow, but we celebrated this past weekend. I will definitely need to make a couple of entries about William and Maeghan and maybe even my heart failure, but finding the time is what holds me back. Right now, I have other things to do at work, so maybe I will get back to it today and maybe not.
I didn't get back to it. It is the next day, I think. Don't remember if I was doing this on Monday or Tuesday. Today is Maeghan's birthday, but before I get into that, I need to talk about William's gradiation.
He finished 12th grade. All done with schooling. No plans for the future, or the plans he has are not going well. There were about 50 people in his class. In Maeghan's class, there were only about 12. Not sure how the classes got so big but it took a while to go through them all. It wasn't a great ceremony, but it was ok. Not a lot of speeches or hype. The decorated the gym and had it there. They even served food and drinks. I don't remember what kind and I didn't have any of it, but they had it there if you wanted it.
We took William to one of his favorite places, or what used to be one of his favorite places. And now that I am typing this, I think I have already told this story. I know I said something about it but I thought all this happened after I stopped doing the blog. I'll go ahead and hit a couple more highlights, but there isn't a lot to tell, and it shouldn't take long.
I say it used to be one of his favorites because they served some mac and cheese that he liked. They don't serve it anymore. We still had a lot of food, and he had some loaded fries that he didn't finish. Mainly because, as I recall, they had a lot of salt on them. Other than that, there is not a lot else to tell about it. He got his book signed by a lot of his classmates. A lot of them asked him to sign also, so that was good. I don't think he will ever see any of these people again, but maybe someday, he might run into them.
He spends his time in his room lately. Only comes out when he gets bored. He was planning on becoming a fireman but that didn't work out. The have a really long waiting list and the qualifications you need, he doesn't have. His fallback position was the army, but I haven't heard a lot about that lately, so maybe he changed his mind. Juanita has work for him, but it is cleaning work, and he doesn't want to do that. He doesn't like cleaning up after school kids, they make big messes. But, unless he takes that work, I am not sure what else he can or will apply for. He will not work in retail, or says he will not, he will not work in fast food, he does not drive so that limits him on what he can do. I don't know anyone who is doing construction work, which he could probably do with the classwork he did, but I don't know how to get him started and he has no idea what he needs to do. He doesn't really know what it is going to take to work at a job. Too high-strung, but he is only 18, so maybe it will get better.
He has a place to stay as long as I am alive so there is no reason for him to really look hard. But I am not well, and he needs to be ready for a time when I am not there to help, not that I give him a lot of help, but I provide a base for him or where to stay and where to eat. Once I am not here to provide that, he needs to be able to do it himself. I am sure I will talk about that more later.
For now, I have to go again. Time to start working. I will leave this open so maybe I will come back to it. I might just close it and start a new, but we will see.
Looks like I will just start a new entry.
Until next time,
Later
Remember
It will all be ok in the end, and if it's not ok, then it's not the end.
