Fun with fluid collection.

Saturday, August 28th, 2004

It’s now Saturday evening, and I’m recovering nicely from my trip. Well, all except for snoozing off my sizable sleep debt. Haven’t managed that feat yet. Too much to do.

On Friday, our shipment of DMSA arrived in the mail from Kirkman Labs, which (for those of you to whom that acronym says nothing) is a […]

The gub’ment.

I made the long drive from Northern Kentucky around quittin’ time yesterday, and made it in just an hour or two past my bedtime, or so it felt. This training was the first on-site assignment I’d had since starting my little one-man company, and it was completely surreal.

My assignment was this: teach a two-day training […]

No time, no connection, no family.

I’m sitting in a hotel lobby in Kentucky as I hammer out this post. The hotel’s so-called “free” internet connection has ended up costing me a great deal in terms of frustration and wasted time. I can’t even get access from my room. Ugh.

Updates to this weblog will probably be nonexistent until my return on […]

A grand day out.

Saturday, August 21st, 2004

Today was the first fun day out we’ve had with Rubén that was actually fun, a candy-coated confection of connectedness from start to finish. The regulars of the blog have often had to suffer through my lamentations of my son shutting down completely whenever we take him out in public. Not today, baby.

First stop was […]

The DDR Kid.

Yesterday was a flurry of activity. I was handling the day (mostly) solo, as I finally put my foot down (haven’t been able to lift it since) and sent MJ up to Lansing for a day of fun, to do whatever she wanted. She shopped. She didn’t come back until eight hours and five pairs […]

Getting off my ever-fattening rump.

Tuesday, August 17th, 2004

Since moving back to Michigan, I’ve probably put on about ten pounds. I work at a desk. I do floortime with my son (which is an emotional workout, but not enough of a physical one to incinerate calories). Rather, linse, lepeat. It’s seriously all I do.

It hasn’t been all bad. I have seen some success […]

An ode to my bride.

Sunday, August 15th, 2004

This post is dedicated to the woman who supports me, bears the brunt of our son’s intervention, and has sacrificed her time, homeland (temporarily), and strength to heal him. I speak of course of my amazing wife, María José.

We were back in Spain for only six months, and incredibly happy, both of us. After noticing […]

Crazy busy.

Thursday, August 12th, 2004

I had only two clients during the first six months I was in business. Then I signed a couple of other smaller companies. In August, it’s all come to a head. I have no room to breathe; I’m literally drowning in clientele. I reckon this is a good thing, certainly preferable to sitting by a […]
