Kid's Cereal, Birthday, & Anniversaries

So I'm starting with the funny story.   So before COVID I was a hard core Walmart Delivery gal. Right now you can't get a pickup or delivery option so going to the store means I need to do it and I struggle with making that happen. I've tried several times and there are no delivery options for Walmart.  So I go in the kitchen this morning and find there is a lot of terrible kid's sugar cereal in the cupboard.  Brace and I have agreed that going inside the story is a bad idea for him.  Usually he drives me and I go in.  So I ask him this morning where did all that cereal come from?  He says I went to Walmart and picked it up.  I looked him straight in the eye and said, "I don't believe you."  Later that night the discussion continues.....

Saturday afternoon we drove back from the mountains and stopped by my sister's house in Moreno Valley for gifts she left on the back porch. Love you Diane and Scott and Leslie. We are home and happy to be alive. Now that Brace is eating high protein food for lunch and dinner he feels so much stronger. He eats terrible kids cereal in...

Best News....

Short Version: Be sure to read Thursday and the first and last paragraphs for Friday. To those that like to read the whole saga here we go. Don't skip this one.... At least the short version. Tuesday after Immunotherapy: He came home and slept for about 3 hours. He had a really rough night. Wednesday: He woke up around 8:45am and felt OK. Then he had literally the best day since this all started. (Thank you for your prayers). He worked for about 4-5 hours at work and looked great. He called several clients adding tasks and notes to Salesforce they recently implemented. Glee is going well, we are getting really good at this whole virtual thing. I think many students will continue with that. Kjarstin and I just love the practice app and most of the teachers are learning how to use it. First week for the rest of the teachers. The students compete for practicing hours by teacher. It is fabulous gamification! We send them messages in the app reminding them to pra...
