- I finally met an orthopedist with a good attitude. I’ll have to circle this day on the calendar.
- Of course, what the orthopedist had me do with my shoulder in order to diagnose what was wrong with it ought to be against the Geneva Convention.
- I was ready to admit to being on the grassy knoll, knowing where Hoffa was buried, and divulging who wrote the book of love before he was through putting me through contortions.
- It has been decided that I have a separated shoulder from the accident, and should be OK after a couple of weeks of steroids, anti-inflamatories, and some physical therapy.
- Considering the damage that was done to the car, I can’t complain that all I came away with was a minor injury to one part of my body.
- The car has been deemed a total loss. We are in the process of signing it over to the insurance company.
- The settlement was pretty much the price we paid for the car. It will pay off the loan and give us a pretty healthy down payment for the replacement.
- Of course we can’t find the title to the car when we need it. Who would think to put it somewhere logical and easily remembered?
- Boo has been through his first few days of kindergarten.
- The first day we were told that he was ‘licking’ the arms of other children, which is a bad habit he picked up from one of the boys in his preschool. It’s also a habit we thought we’d broken. Oh well, I needed something to talk to him about anyway.
- Day two brought a note from teacher saying that when he came into conflict with another child, he snorted air at the other child. My bad. It’s one of the things I do with him when we’re play fighting.
- We also had to make a new house rule that when one of us wants to speak to someone, we have to raise our hand and wait to be told we can speak. It’s a bit silly, but it’s a skill he needs at school.
- Day 3 was characterized as ‘spectacular’. That did our hearts good.
- Girlie Bear is enjoying her classes so far. I helped her a bit with her first German homework assignment, which is to recite, by rote, the Pledge of Allegiance in German. If she can stop rolling her R’s so much, she might do OK.
- Words to work on – vereigneten, unteilbar, and Gerechtigkeit.
- Boo had his first soccer practice this evening. His defensive move can be best described as “shield wall”. He runs up to the guy with the ball, then stands as erect as he can and uses his body to block a kick. Actually, it’s usually his chest or gut that blocks the kick, facilitating a moment laying in the grass, looking up at the clouds.
- Watching 5 year olds play soccer is a lot of fun. It’s like watching a pack of puppies try to catch a rabbit.

/ August 23, 2013School starts Monday for us. I personally can’t wait. We don’t need to so much worry about licking, but after the number of times Medium reported that Small kissed boys, we may have to worry about THAT.

/ August 23, 2013I’m actually starting to feel a bit better. It might have something to do with the steroids the ortho prescribed.

/ August 24, 2013Glad you are OK there DB. And you are spot on with having good car insurance. My USAA was very good after my last Focus was “Deered out” on the way to work.
