Back on Duty

Welcome back everyone to another blog entry. Sadly there isn't much going on of late that can be fleshed out as well as be talked about. For example I could go into a paragraph about not being able to find a cord to charge the nook and then finally went and asked Kristi to borrow the charger. I could write an entire paragraph about it and even make it look about as substantial as any other paragraph I type up but then again there is content over anything else in writing. I don't think it would be fun for anybody to listen to me looking for a simple cord throughout a house unless I started turning it into a fiction story where I go down into the sewers and wrestle alligators for the cord or something.

I started reading a book this week which I finished already and this one is called Asperger love and while it has 60 pages about 1/3 of the entire book is acknowledgements and stuff about the author. That doesn't mean that it isn't a good book to read as it certainly helped me understand people with Asperger syndrome a lot better but it was a very trivial read in comparison to stuff like Les miserable or Fountainhead and certainly very unexpected to me. Either way this opens up new things for me to read including the new book by Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty.

That time is coming up very soon where the year ends and honestly I don't know whether I should be relieved or scared. Relieved because I will be getting one of the longest breaks of the year or scared because of multiple things. Some of the things that bother me is stuff along the lines of when I am on break I can forget important things like walking chewy for my pay check. Also I have been working on the idea of posting something once a week on my blog during the Summer so that people don't completely forget about blog so there are multiple things for me to do over the Summer that might make things harder for me.

Taking a break

Today I decided to use one of my free days. It seems pretty random considering nothing bad has happened recently. That is true but I have been extremely sore lately. Ever since last Thursdays Tae Kwon Do I have been sore. This Monday it got worse and now I am just relaxing today. For the most part I am blogging today out of requirement and not really much else. This has been apart of all  free days before now. I will be continuing my work tomorrow and other then that there is very little to talk about.

There is one more thing I can think about mentioning at the moment. This is the fact that I will be heading out this weekend to work on my quilt at my grandma's house. The reason why I am mentioning this is because I will be doing some work to look forward to over the weekend and that I have a habit of not posting on the day my grandma comes to pick me up and then people wonder why there is nothing to read. Either way I will be doing something during the weekend so we'll see where that goes.

I still need to write one more paragraph purely out of the requirements I set for myself at the beginning of the year.The question is what to write about that you couldn't get unless you read this entry. This is the question that I ask myself daily nowadays. The reason is because I try very hard to bring something new to the table that doesn't sound exactly like some other entry by me or someone else. I also don't want to have to give you more information about me then some of the little things because it is alright to know who I am but considering that I don't know that many people that read my blog then it would be awkward for me for anyone to know stuff about me and then I know nothing about you.

Still standing

Another great day in my house with a simple enough day for everyone. Since only Zoe is going to Tae Kwon Do there won't be very many problems tonight to interrupt us. Sometimes it is fantastic to have a simple day. Today's school work was easy, I had a sandwich for lunch, and Kristi is working on dinner.  Now that I think about it everyone else but me has a busy day. Kristi making dinner for tons of different people which is spaghetti with breadsticks, Zoe going to TKD, Nate's choir concert, and then there is dad with his day at work. Then again this is pretty much the average day for us nowadays.

My work has been set up for me to finish Les Miserable. Kristi has managed to modify my curriculum to allow me to finish before the end of the year which will have made it so that I have read almost 2000 pages in one quarter. I am quite proud of my ability to read and still be able to comprehend most of what I read because it left just a step above average and made an interesting story on why I wasn't always following along with the teacher in reading class.

No domestic science but do you want to know my favorite kind of food is. By far the best type of food to eat is a sandwich. The simplicity is what makes it so fantastic partially due to the fact that they are for  the most part bread with anything in between. Technically a hamburger is a sandwich and so is a hot dog. I love sandwiches and today I had a Mr. Goodcents sub sandwich with provolone and ham with lettuce and banana peppers on top. There are multiple kinds of good food. One of those kinds of food are simple foods like a sandwich or soup. The other kind of good food is the intricate foods like a turducken or sushi. In all food is food and life is to short to eat food you don't like.

Overkill

Today I was given the assignment to make some pancakes for my lunch today and I have to say that they were some of the best things I have cooked. This may strange from the person who cooked a strip steak but then again the simple things in life can always be some of the best. Anyway the pancakes I made weren't just ordinary they were sour cream pancakes. For me I had them filled with blueberries and then I drizzled them with a little bit of syrup. You might notice that the syrup looks a little bit strange and that's because of the little mistake that occurred. Kristi had decided that we were done warming up the syrup so she went and turned off the burner. Sadly she turned off the wrong burner which was the pancakes and the syrup was left cooking. What ended up happening was that I had for the most part a maple caramel instead of syrup. I also mean real syrup because we only buy the real stuff nowadays. To top off the entire meal there is also the nicely cooked bacon to add a crunch ot the already fantastic meal. Whats even better is that I currently have this set up as my desktop picture so I won't be forgetting this day anytime soon.

I have been walking another dog lately and the poor dog is for the most part depressed as all get out. Sometimes he wanders off and then starts howling because no one else is in the room. His name is Griffon and I really do feel sorry for him.  As you can see on the right he even looks depressed. He is usually quite spoiled at his house but then again he was acting very moody over there as well. That doesn't stop him from wanting attention because he is a dog but he misses his family really badly.

After the domestic science there isn't much else to talk about at the moment. What I mean is nothing extremely interesting. For example I am moving along in math but that didn't take to long today, French is still French, and my books are still being books. The books I am reading are Les Miserable and Asperger Love. The second book is purely to help me understand a little bit more of what the average Asperger patient goes through on a daily basis as well as help me understand my brother a little bit better. That doesn't mean it isn't any good but it is a pretty short book that I think that I finish before the end of the week.

Quick and easy

Today's work was fairly easy and I glad because it helped with what came before the work. Before I tell you  what happened earlier today I am going to go through what I actually did today. First off was my reading which was simply Les miserable. After  that was working out another code for codecademy Which I managed to figure out after I found out that I needed type something in after submitting my code. I went out to eat some lunch out at Zara Sushi which consisted of a garden salad with a shrimp tempura roll as well as a spicy crunchy crab roll. I then come home and do my French work which as usual only takes about 30 minutes to complete. After all that I sit down and start typing my blog for the day and then here we are. It was a fairly simple day but time to go into more detail about some other things.

I am really iffy on how things are turning out at the moment in my life. There are some chances of the friends that I have made in the neighborhood are going to be moving away and this is just devastating to me. For example I have known the first friend Kale for 2 years and he's going to move out for sure but I still have some time. On the other hand is my friend Alex who has been with me through thick and thin throughout this entire neighborhood. He went through all of the pain and drama that came with being in some of the situations that I landed myself in. They are one the reasons why I am home schooled. I wouldn't be able to stand being alone in the neighborhood at all and the fact that I might lose contact with him would be devastating for me as well as the family who have come to accept him as a sibling. I hope he doesn't move because it would be just devastating. The reason that this effects my current life more then ever is because I have been given the chance to attend the college classes and at this point I don't know how any of that will turn out and even if it is right for me.

I have been doing pretty good with my classes including Tae Kwon Do. Things over there have been getting really difficult for me with all of the extra emphasis on expectations to meet. Due to the fact that the school year is coming to an end here soon less people are coming in and harder curriculum is being used. It is certainly not easy for me with all of the harder work. An example is that just last night we were doing the splits in class or at least going as low as you can but when the teacher came around she started making me go lower until I was almost in tears from the pain. I can honestly say that I am more flexible then ever but It was almost unbearable going through all of that. What doesn't help is that I am higher rank now and because of that there is higher expectations.

Fire to Ice

I am currently loving the weather around my house! The reason for this is because just yesterday it was about 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit  ( 21-26 degrees Celsius )and now it has dropped exponentially to the point of it sleeting outside. I have been waiting for this kind of weather due to the fact that I don't like the average sunny day and I would prefer 60 degrees Fahrenheit ( 10 degrees Celsius )with clouds and a slight breeze. I don't think that this is to strange and certainly not as harsh as winter or summer so it shouldn't be too much to ask for. Even better is that I just looked out side and it has started snowing. My point is that I love Missouri despite its randomness because there is a nice balance during this time of the year.

I was given this article to discuss on my blog and this is just disturbing to me. I honestly don't like the thought of being in grades higher then the average age. I also have to congratulate the kids due to their tenacity to keep going with their education with today's school system. part of the reason why I don't like the thought of being in a higher grade then the average kid is because of how akward it would be for anyone that is younger. For example a 12 year old kid hanging out with a 24 year old with no one else his age nearby would not only be strange for anyone seeing this but it would also be kind of strange for the kid because of the age difference and opinions that come along with this. Even so I feel glad to see kids who know there future and are willing to tackle it head on. Even better is that the parents are behind them 100% by the looks of the article so maybe there will be the 22 year old Navy doctor.

Down to the usual recap of the day. Today's work is once again long and terrifying for the most part but nothing to horrible that makes me want to cry through the entire day until someone decides to help me out. Thinking about all of this reminds me of the days near the beginning of school where I had about 10 written response questions a day. It wasn't that bad after I had gotten used to it but then everything starts from humble beginnings. I started off knowing nothing of what I had gotten myself into and then evolved to where I am today. I love where I have come so far and I am glad to see that everyone has followed me this far and I hope to see everyone for the remainder.

Family night

Hello everyone welcome back and for the beginning I will be talking about the new part of the for the family which is family night. Our family is for the most part pretty tight knit. We keep everything organized including events and most of the family time occurs during dinner where everyone sits down and eats together. I feel quite happy to say that I still can sit down and eat dinner with my family because I do know that there are families that don't even think about it. Due to the fact that everyone is going to be home for the Wednesdays for a while we are going to start having a family night where we all sit down and eat dinner over a movie. This may not be very different then eating dinner as a family but after most dinners all of us retreat down to our usual spots which mine just happens to be my computer. Tonight and hopefully other Wednesdays to follow we will spending time together during and after dinner which may not sound very exciting to most people but it sounds fantastic to me.

Today's work was for the most part pretty simple and may not be done yet but it won't take very much time after this. I will just be going over the work that I have worked on. This includes my dreaded math work. I am still doing pretty good without having to stop and go through the lessons but there will be a time when I have to slow down. To give you an example I am still on lesson 10 and the hardest part about my work at the moment is still doing long division because it takes a lot of space on one page. For the most part math is easy but it takes a while to actually complete.

Today I didn't officially have any domestic science work but in my opinion it was a darn good day of domestic science. Today I had tasted my first empanada and despite how basic it was, it was certainly tasty.
The dough was pie crust and the filling was ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning and some shredded cheese. All of it was deep fried till brown and crispy. Despite the simplicity it was quite tasty and here is good view.

 I certainly enjoyed them and I believe the Kristi certainly did as well. The most I had a problem with is the fact that they were greasy from the deep frying and they needed some sauce to sweeten them so other then that these were pretty tasty.
