Act 43: Wrote for a Book on Communication Difficulties.

My dad's speech therapy communication group is planning on putting together a short book about living with a communication difficulty. Because it would be difficult for some of the members of the group to write a contribution, family members were approached to write their perspective on living with the speech difficulties.

So, I responded to their request and wrote a small section on what it's like living with Stephen and understanding what he means from what he says. I'm not sure when the short book will be published, or if it will be only available in my dad's hospital, but I'll keep you updated when I find out more.

Act 4: Cut The Grass for Dad.

While the sun was still out, I decided to cut the grass for dad. This was a better act in thought than it was in action as:
1) The lawnmower weighed more than twice my weight;
2) I was scared of running over the electricity cable and electrocuting myself;
3) I'm terrified of anything that moves/flies/touches my legs;
4) We have a considerably large area of grass to mow, that took me well over 4 hours to cut.

Anyway, I got it all finished and now I'm completely shattered so I'm going to go lie down. Goodnight. x
