Can you hear me?
Another hospital trip today, this time mainly for Alex. A hearing test… to put it bluntly we’re quite sure he has some hearing problems, we’re just not sure how much. It would explain a lot, like his speech, and his … Continue reading
Friday on my mind
Currently in a work sense, I’m really not doing Fridays very well… Day’s too long, work is too overdone, and not enough gets done anyway. Work-wise, it’s all crazy… I’d rather be doing the new things, but the old things … Continue reading
