Sydney mowed part of the front and back yard today. Maybe with practice he will get better. He is still afraid to run over little stumps and once again used rebar posts to plot his mowing schematics. I give him an A for his efforts.

I taught Sydney how to make Shells & Cheese with tuna fish at his request for lunch, my bottomless teenage son liked it so much that he wanted it again for dinner. I let him make it while I stood and watched, something more than a fried egg and he felt accomplished when he started eating it. Baby steps.
I had worked all weekend and slept. Needless to say I didn't get much of anything done other than making Sydney's meals, hygiene, and a few chores. It is not only graduation weekend for college students but also Mother's Day weekend, Downtown Memphis was chaotic and I was busy till I had enough of the traffic and left the area for Midtown and the upscale areas of Germantown and Collierville, no more "hood" riding for me last night. Most happy drunks were the law students who were celebrating and I got to thinking, "do all of them act this way when they get older?" because I take my fair share of lawyers to clubs, bars, and strip clubs. I picked up a "cowboy" from Electric Cowboy; a very inebriated , Hispanic, older gentleman that talked to himself most of the way to the corner he wanted dropped off at. He asked if he could shake my hand and instead he kissed the top of it and held it to his forehead in a prayer-like pose. He said I was a mamma (we never spoke due to his one-way conversation) and he was blessing me in respect and better things were coming for me. Just a little to ookie for me but I thanked him and he zig zagged across a lawn.
I will work again tonight to make sure that bills are paid in advance of surgery. Maybe by the end of next month I will hear something from Social Security. I was looking up my surgeon and I found this on her, I knew she was wonderful but am feeling blessed even more after seeing this on her.....https://www.beckersspine.com/spine/item/34912-dr-maria-li-highlighted-in-the-leading-physicians-of-the-world-5-notes.html
