Well, I have made a lot of Progress on the Van, but there are new problems. Welds from 5 years ago have started to fail. The ones on the Exhaust that is.
03 June 2015
Well, I am totally P.O.'d! 'her-indoors', the PP-princess at the last possible minute wanted Me to go to the store to get her some Allergy Medicine. Stephen was due Home within Half an Hour. What's the Problem you ask? What if I was Invlved in an Accident? or My Van broke Down? or I had to take another route (Detour) to get to My destination, or they were out of the Allergy Medicine and I had to go further out to get some. A few examples. she is not on the list of people to take Stephen off of the Bus, and if I was late, they would have taken Him to My Parents where He would have felt out of place and possibly would have had a Meltdown of Epic Proportions. That gives Me an idea though. I have to Create Emergency Bags in the case that Stephen needs to go somewhere other (Alternate Drop-Off point) than Home here. Rant Over....But I am still P.O.'d over her placing herself first over others. By the way, I was getting ready to have some popcorn when she pulled her stunt, and I don't eat cold Popcorn. It's just not right.
I have already gotten the Yearly Zoo Pass and County-Park Pass so that Stephen can have some level of a summer vacation. He will be back at the typical ESY (Extended School Year) Program this Year, and Next Year He will be in a new Class under the Tutoring of Gina (Davis?) in the 'Young Adult SCI' Class. We are having Chili-Dogs with Frenchfries and Mixed Veggies for dinner.
Stephen sure does love His Chilli Cheese Dogs. He's been Vocal and very Happy after Dinner.
I cannot find anything of when Stephen's Bedroom was done in the Musical theme. I know that it was done in 2011. I fear that I had lost everything when I lost Stephen's Previous page.
24 May 2015
So, Yesterday at 9:06pm, I Video'd Troy Dick on the Apartment Complex looking at the Surveillance Cameras, taking Mental notes where they were and what direction they were pointed in. He is a Nuissance, and now that he is 'Scouting' where I live at out, this tells Me that someone has told him where I live. A Police Officer had moved in a few weeks ago. Is there a 'Tie'? Maybe not, but it is coencidental that he was brave enough to enter the Property and to perform a 'Scouting Mission'. When he left, he went Left (East) on Willow Street at first, but before he made it beyond building 'A', he turned around and went the other way (West), then came back again and I presume that he went South on Pine Street because he never returned to either side of Building 'A' where I could see him. I will be leaving at 2:45pm to go enjoy 'Memorial Day' Activities at My Parents with My Family. I made 8 Dozen Chocolate Chip Cookies, Two of which will remain here. Stephen deserves some too. The School-Year is coming to an end in 2 weeks, and I have to have My Shit together. I have to get the Yearly Zoo Pass and the Yearly County-Park Pass. I have the State Park Pass, so going to one of those is no problem. I have to research State Parks that are close.

Saving this link that describes the Age Limit that Attendees at Beekman School before they Graduate, and that age is 26yo. Not 22yo as I was led to believe by the Staff at the Beekman Center.
19 May 2015
Someone in G-11 is taking pictures. I saw the 'Flash' of whatever device that they are using. Too bad for them, the 'Flash' probably has destroyed whatever picture they were taking. They took it from their Livingroom window. I am going to My Parents to work on their lawn, Mowing, and while there, I'll be doing a load of laundry. Some of Stephen's, 'her-indoors' and Mine. Maybe a Sheet Set.
07 May 2015
Again I have been lacking in keeping up with this page. Again, I have been writing on the 'RED DRAGON' Page. Stephen is doing really good tonight. He let Me know that He had to go Poop, and He did. But, He left a little suprise for Me when I went in to check on Him. Urine all over the Bathroom floor. Taking the Bad with the Good today. I am happy that He let Me knw and then did it. It is 81 Degrees currently, but was 83 earlier. Tomorrow is to be more of the same, so He will be going to school in shorts and a T-Shirt. He also has swimming tomorrow, one of His favorite activities. I have purchased all of the Automotive parts that I needed today. The Spark-Plug Wires, 6 Spark-Plugs, Both of the Sway-Bar Link Bolts, the Rear Transmission seal, Radiator Fluid (Antifreezer), Radiator Flush Kit, and that's it.
04 May 2015
Stephen came back to Me Extreemly Dehydrated. He could not even Urinate for 22 hours, and that's in My care. How long did He not Urinate while with His mother? I can only fear. He since has become fully Hydrated. I have been giving Him Poweraid every chance that I could. So, I have had to write wnat I expect from Stephen's mother while He's in her care to ensure that Stephen get's the Proper treatment that He deserves. I feel that she is doing this as a way to get Stephen removed from My care, but I document everything in His 'Intake and B.M. Log book', and there is a clear History of the Neglect that He receives while in her care.
30 April 2015
Someone in My apartment is Stealing from 'Workmans Comp.' because I have not seen anyone that is injured at any level coming or going from My building. P.O. Box 535280 Pittsburg, PA. Stephen is off to school and He had a mix or Range of emotions befre He left. At first He was Happy and Affectionalte (Giving Cuddles), then After Urinating He was Upset (Possibly having to have a B.M. because he was cracking Farts while in the bathroom), Then He was Compliant and seemed to be Calm, and Finally after getting down the stairs He was ready to get on the Bus and go to School and then the Zoo with the other Class. I will be going to My Parents at 10a to get as much Yardwork done as I can. Tomorrow I pay the Bills and will have $209.00 left, but After Fuel for the Van, and getting Food and Needs, it will be gone quickly.
29 April 2015
Stephen went with His future class to the Zoo today, and He will be going for the rest of the week as well. He will miss Swimming on Friday, but I feel that He needs to get familiar with the Students and His new Teacher. This is a Transition Stage for Him. He has went with her on other outings, like to Fenner Nature Center for the last 2 years. Stephen is very Happy with a Full Tummy and watching 'Teletubbies' on His tablet, and 'SHREK 2' on DVD. I did not get to get Him a Desert for tonight so He can have His Melatonin, so He will have 2 Cereal Bars and Milk. I will slip the 'Melatonin' into somewhere.
27 April 2015
Stephen's mother let Him sleep until 11a (Noon) Yesterday and that is why He was awake last night into the wee hours of this Morning. She said that He was awake until 4a Sunday Morning. This is just proving hos lazy she really is. I even gave Stephen an OTC Sleep-Aid, but since He already had slept until 11a (Noon) Sunday He had the energy to fight off the Sleep-Aid, and did. Thought He went to school in a good mood, I know that He is tired. He failed to have a B.M. even with an Enima. His mother does not perform in the manner that is best for Stephen.
I really HATE it when 'her-indoors' Bitches and complains but has no solution and then she starts making things up to make herself look good, no matter how wrong that she is.
26 April 2015
So...according to the Child in E21 I am "Mean", and why is that? Because I am an "Old Man". Well, these little Babies need their Parents watching them, but they are allowed to run free and cause all types of Havoc, like climbing on the Property of this Complex and on Other's Vehicles. And that's why I am 'Mean', because I will not allow them to destroy private property. Stephen is Home and He's had some OTC Pain-Relief and His Fruit Cocktail for desert. He's wearing the Flood Pants, the Cuff is 12 inches above the floor. Disgraceful. Stephen even Vacuumed His Bedroom! Yes, I am shocked. I had to Hand-Over-Hand with Him, but it's something that He wanted to do. 'her-indoors' was/is Mad because Stephen had a Desert. she thought that I had bought some Ice-Cream.
Stephen is having troubles having a B.M. and that's due to Dehydration. Regardless if He has had His Miralax as prescribed, if He is not kept Hydrated He will get Constimpated as in the case of tonight (Every Sunday Night), So I had to g the 'Extra-Mile' and give Him an Enima so the Fecal Matter can pass easily. His mother sets Him up to Fail every weekend.
24 April 2014
Stephen had His PROM today. Here's a picture of what He wore:
He was Very Handsome. I was told that He danced a lot! But did not eat anything. He drank 3 Glasses of Water though and ate the Fruit Snacks that I had left for Him. He came Hoom and after His evening Desert, He went into the bathroom and had a B.M. before He went to bed. Yes, Stephen was monitred while at the PROM. He had His teacher there dancing with Him. She was happy to have the oppertunity to have Him attend the PROM. Last Year I decided not to because I felt that He was not ready. He did have some Anxiety issues when We arrived, and the Stairs scared Him. I am beginning to wonder if it was actually the stairs or the Anxiety/fear of going to the PROM.
20 April 2015
Rain, Rain, Rain...It's Monday! As of last Friday I was Hired by my Parents to perform Lawn-Care that they no longer can do because of the Combination of Age and Malaties from Aging. I did accomplish a lot last Friday, and plan on doing the same today, but I have extra work. My Brother that lives next door to My Parents has a Dryer that is Destroying 'Lint-Fans'. Weather it be from the Shaft of the Motor, or the Fan getting hung up on something within it's housing, I am unsure, but I will figiure it out and fix it for good. Time to see what the price is for a new Lint-Fan.
19 April 2015
And I did....Get back to writing the 'Red-Dragon' story...too much so, and lost track. I get into a great story-line and then I am 100% into writing it while the idea is fresh. I gt Stephen back this evening and He was happy as long as We were driving around. We got Home and shortly He became Very Upset. When 'her-indoors' (Amy Ehmke-Kleban) touched Him, He pulled away and even became more upset. Has she hurt Him? Did Stephen get hurt by a woman while with His mother? Did His mother hurt Him? He has Zero Trust with the Female Sex currently. I am still waiting for a Revised 'Official' Release from Me paying 'Child-Support' from the Courts. I did however receive a Billing and Current Account Statement from the Courts. I will give it another week before I Send another Request to correct the paperwork that releases Me from Paying. As far as I know, it's all a Prank, Ruse to get Me from Paying any-more then I get thrown in Jail and Stephen's mother gets Him. Which...is NOT going to happen.
Rain, Rain and More rain
13 April 2015
Stephen had a good day at School from what I am seeing. Though He refused to eat the Lunch choise made by the Popus's Worse Half. He's in a great mood and I am sure that He will eat Dinner, which is Homemade Chilli, and He will have Saltines rather than Oyster Crackers. We have to wait until 5p to 5:30p before dinner will be ready. I have started back into writing on the 'RED DRAGON' series.
10 April 2015
I awoke to Noisy Neighbors from Building 'H' (?) at 6:30am, that and the Wind. But their mouths were still louder. I am having My Coffee and 2 Bagels for My Breakfast. It is 7:12am currently and Stephen will be awoken by 8:30am for Breakfast and to start His day. I am still awaiting My Check for Caring for the 'Young-Adult'. It would be nice to finally pay that Final Bill of the Month. Time to take some Asprin.
It's time to Start Stephen's Breakfast and then to awaken Him so we can start our day. I am hoping that I get paid today so we can go out and do something instead of remaining in this Apartment all day again.
Stephen is awake and Eating His breakfast. Once again, I made Pancakes, Egg, Hashbrown, Sausage Patties and He has Milk to drink with it. It took Him a little bit to get started though, but He's well into it now.
The Weather is Chilly, Windy and Light Rain (Actually Misting), so if My Check comes in and We go out, We will be wearing a Light Jackets.
It looks as though Stephen and I are goinbg to pay a Bill and do some Grocery Shopping. I got paid today.
Stephen was none too happy with going to do errands and pay a bill, and He refused to Eat His lunch, because He is so fixated with 'Elmo's World'. He had a large Breakfast, so I am not that worried, and I know that He will eat His Dinner.
So, 'her-indoors' is messing with My Computer at some capacity. When ever I try to 'Like' Something or Select Something, it suddenly moves where I cannot select it. I am sure that she's getting a Chuckle out of it, but I see it as Childish. Maybe it's time to change the Password on the Router. she's already prooven that she can control the Television all the way from NewYork while at her daughters place. I am hoping that she gives Me this weekend to work on My Van before deciding to return. I have to Finish the Exhaust, Fix the Rear-Passenger Side Brake, Change the Rotor on the Front-Passenger Side, and Fix the leak on the Front-Drivers Side (Possibly replace the Flexable Brake Line). I have the Stereo to secure as well so it's not bouncing all around when I am driving.
09 April 2015
Well, I received no Check for taking care of Stephen yet. We had a great breakfast with Pancakes, Egg, Sausage Patties, Hashbrown and Chocolate Milk. I am sure that Stephen is still plenty Full. He's listening to 'Atom Mother' by Pink Floyd, over and over again. He's happy though. The weather is too nasty to do anything out of doors. Very Foggy, Chilly and Wet. We will have a Light lunch, then a hardy dinner. I have to figure out what I will make fr dinner. Maybe a Casserrole of some type, using Left-Overs. I am down to logging in 24 Songs from the Shellac Albums, and the Album with the Broken Discs in it, I will log and clairify that they are Broken, and Maybe be able to record from them.
The Dishes are Dne, and now something for Lunch. I am thinking a Light Lunch will do, so it's 12ounces of Yogurt and a Strawberry Jelly Cookie with Sports Drink. Then at 3p He can have His Fruit Snacks.
Stephen had a Headache a little time ago, So I crushed up an Asprin and mixed it in His Sports-Drink. He is feeling Much better now. Dinner will be Macaronni Casserrole. I am using the Spaghetti Sauce that was left over from earlier in the week with it.
Stephen had His B.M. early tooday, and the Stool Softner is working. He had had Hard Fecal Matter before this, proving that His mother has NOT been administering His Miralax as she had written in the 'Intake and B.M.' Book. It was a lot of Fecal Matter (1 1/2"dia by 30"l).
Stephen has found 'Elmo's World' on 'YouTube' and he's been absolutely engrossed in it!
Now, it's time for Me to log in more Shellac Albums. Stephen is Happily in Bed watching Elmo's World.
Finally Finished with logging all of My Shellac Albums. Then I started Stacking them on a TV Tray, and a 2 foot stack weighs over 20 pounds, maybe as much as 40 pounds! One of the 'Albums' had all of the Discs broken. I logged them in any ways but will not be able to perform any recordings from them, they are too badly damaged.
08 April 2015
Today, Stephen was at His mother's while I went to PLASMA. she said He ate lunch, but that was obviously a false statement. I had to get Dinner done Early because Stephen was getting Angry because He was Hungry. He had 2 plates of Spaghetti with Homemade Meatsauce, plus all of His milk and Most of Mine.
We had our Ice-Cream already, Stephen's choosing. This Community has been 'Trash-Dumper' Free for the last 3 days. The Dumpsters remain virtually empty when usually, they are filled to their maximum. I have 7 more Shellac Albums to Log, and Each have 4 Discs for a total of 56 Songs/Recordings. Last Night I did a lot of them, mainly the smaller Discs and Loose ones. I cannot wait to record them to Digital CD's and then download them to My 'Home-Base' Computer, and afterwards, to YouTube with Images from the Artists and Bands/Orchestras, even the Album Covers. It will be a Chore, but one of passion. Passion to share Historic Music between 1900 and 1930's.
Shellac Records were produced into the 1950's, and here I thought that Vynal was introduced before then. Not so. They started in the early 50's and slowly became the standard. Soon, Stephen will be going into the Bathroom to have a B.M. and then followed by a Shower, then to bed. He's in an amiacable temperment.
07 April 2015
Today it's official...Official Shopping Day (for groceries). Making a Grocery List. I have to get Stephen a Breakfast and while We are out, to Mail that Letter back to the courts requesting that My Address is represented properly and that someone sign the paper.
I am also going to take My CD Burner in for Repairs. It's just the Display Panel that is not working and hopefully it does not cost a lot to have fixed. 'HOME ELECTRONICS' at 538 N. Cedar St., Lansing, MI., 48912 is where I am taking it to.
Stephen is enjoying His breakfast, then it's time for Him to clean up and afterwards, We will be going to d the Shopping. I have to check the card yet.
Went to the 3 stores and After the 1st Stephen became irritated. I guess that He thoought We were done. But He was happy when We got Fruit-Snacks at the 2nd Store. I let Him have one between the 2nd and 3rd stores. He was more irritated at the 3rd store, but He made it through. He even behaved and remained upstairs as I brought in the Groceries. He however did not eat any Lunch. Just flat-out refused to eat, and it was Cereal. But He was satisfied with watching the DVD that He selected before We left. I did the dishes while He kept entertained with 'Pink Floyd' on my LapTop. So I selected the same for His Tablet and He's happily watching it there, as well as watching 'Jesus Christ Superstar' from DVD.
I had forgotten to take My CD Recorder with Us. It was a handful with Stephen anyways, so it probably was for the best. The Management at this Complex is Actively going after the Trash-Dumpers with the Help of Lansing Police Detectives. I have not seen one person Dumping today. But taking int account that I had been gone for 2 Hours and busy the 3rd hour...well, there is the chance that I missed someone dumping. I cannot be at it 100% because I have other responsibilities here.
Dinner is Half-way done. Stephen chose Mashed-Potatoes for a Side dish, and I will chose the Veggie. Stephen likes Pink-Floyd, and...LedZeppelin as well. For dinner We are having Stuffed and Baked Chicken Breast. Tomorrow is PLASMA and Stephen's mother has agreed to watch Him for the timeframe. I will ensure that he eats before He goes and after I get Him back Home.
Dinner is over, and Stephen ate half of His. He's just not been hungry as of late. He also has been very Angry this afternoon, and I am thinking B.M., but I am waiting until he prompts it. He has no problem prompting the Movie that He wants to watch. He is still being lazy about selecting Videos from YouTube on His Tablet. I guess that I go Hand-Over-Hand with Him again. Regression sucks.
We have Success, and Stephen's in the Shower. He deffinately feels better.
He has a Headache, so I mixed an Asprin into His Ice-Cream and He had that, so He should be feeling really good by His bed time. 'Hercules' the Disney Cartoon is His DVD selection for this evening.
So...1/3rd of all ASD Children are Non-Verbal. https://www.autismspeaks.org/blog/2015/04/07/i-decided-not-speak-april-2nd-heres-why
I am Dillegently logging in the New Shellac Collection, and Stephen is not going to sleep even though I gave Him a Sleep-Aid.
I have 7 more Albums to go through, Another 28 Songs at the least. I am calling it a Night. Too bad Stephen has not.
06 April 2015
Alright, I was really tired last night. Slept right through a program that I wanted to watch. Awoke at 3a and went to bed. I am making Pancakes and Eggs this Morning for Stephen's Breakfast. Going to the Grocery Store is our Activity today. Milk is required and some more Pancake Batter. I am not too worried about that 'First Frontier' site, because it happens After my Books.
Breakfast is Done, and We have Happy Bellies, but I have to do the Dishes with a Son that is Demanding My Attention. Kind of makes it hard too get things done. But soon enough, We are going to get some Groceries. It's a Beautiful Day and Warming up quickly. I really wanted weather like this last Saturday. Time to check the Weather Forecast.
Stephen started off well enough, as long as we remained in the Van that is. As soon as we had to get out and go to the store He became disgruntled. We got what was needed at the Grocery Store and I decided to go visit the Thrift-Store next door. We did not find anything, so I decided to go to another one down the road. There we found a Pair of Jeans for Stephen and a Shellac Album Book with extra Albums. The prices at the 2nd store are Steep, but I felt that I had to save the Albums/Recordings from certain demise and to add them to My ever-growing collection. We had Lunch, which was Elbow Macaronni and Cheese with Homemade Meatsauce. It was really good and Stephen ate all of His.
Handed in Video of the 'Trash-Dumpers' that do not live here. They come in with a lot of Trash and fill the Dumpsters. That leaves no room for the tennants trash, and like Me, I have to keep My stinky Trash inside until the Trash/Dump Truck comes empty the Dumpsters. That should never happen, and I hope that when the Dumpers receive their $500.00 Ticket, that they will never do it again.
I am drinking a lot of Lemon Drink using Lemon Extract. I remember as a youth, it helped in many ways. Maybe I can melt this Fat off that seems to be getting worse around My Stomach. After a few more repairs to the Van, I can Finish Stephen's Bicycle Cart so 'We' can go riding. The 'TomTom' is set up for Bicycling routes, and hopefully it has the flattest routes. I will make Stephen's Bicycle Cart collapseable and Safe for Him.
Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes and Mixed Veggies for Dinner tonight. It's what's for dinner!
So, Stephen only ate about Half of His dinner. I guess that what I had made for Lunch stayed with Him. I found Myself filling up fast as well, so I am not upset with Him. Yes...Next weekend (weather holding out) I will finish Welding of the Exhaust on the Van and re-do the Self-Fabricated Exhaust Clamp so I can use all 3 bolts to hold it together and create a better seal. I may not be able to run the Exhaust from the back of the Muffler all the way out the back, but at least the Van will be so much quieter. It is already, but I want it as quiet as I can make it. I hopefully will be able to rework the Stereo so it's positined properly, and possibly, possibly be able to put new Stabalizer Bolts in.
"Mr.Moody" That's Stephen tonight. He is unsure of what His needs are, and of course, I am the closest for Him to take it out on. I am thinking that He needs to have a B.M. and soon.
Stephen has a Headache and I am trying to get Him to drink some Sports Drink with 'Goodies' Pain reliever. He's drank 2 of the 4 ounces, and He needs to drink the rest to get rid of the Headache. I thought that He had to have a B.M., but that was not the case. He had a Shower anyways because He M.B.'d while on the Toilet. By 8:45p His headache should be gone. But that means I cannot give Him any Sleep-Aid for an Hour. By 9:40p I should be able to give Him some.
He looks and acts much better now. Tomorrow is time to do some serious shopping. I get the food allowance on My EBT Card. But...I can only get so much because I will have to bring it all up all by myself...per usual. But with Stephen Home, I have to be wary that no-one lures Him out or goes into Our apartment while I am bringing the Food Stuffs in.
Stephen's Headache is gone, but He seems to have forgotten how to use the Tablet. But that behavior came back with Him on Sunday. It's Disturbing. Of curse He never even used His Tablet Once while with His mother last weekend. she does not seem to care if He become a Functional Human Being. she does nothing to help Him further Himself.
05 April 2015
Again I have slacked off on filling this out. I guess that I had too much on My mind as of late. Getting the Van fixed up is a Huge issue with Me. Taking care of Stephen is always a Priority. I had to give Him an Enima tonight...unfortunately. He's Already had a B.M. but wants to watch His Tablet and M.B. for a while. Afterwards, He will be getting His shower. Last Mnday I fixed My Brother's Dryer and earned $40.00.
So, while on Facebook this came up: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/664558179/star-trek-first-frontier?ref=nav_search It's about Captain Robert April, the Designer and First Captain of the CONSTITUTION Class U.S.S. ENTERPRISE NCC-1701. Yes, I wrote 4 Books on that Specific Character, and I am admittantly distressed.
Stephen decided that He wanted to go to bed early. I am in Shock, but He is Happy. So, someone is doing a Fan-Fic about Captain Robert April and His Missions. They are going with 10 Years, but the Truth is, He could have only done 5. The Ship finished construction on August or October of 2245 and 2264 was when James Kirk took Command for his famous 5 year mission. That's only 19 years...so it's possible that Robert April did 10 years and Pike did 9 years. Eh...! My Story is pre-Starship Captain, so I guess that it has very little affect with the fan-fic. It's the Ship that Concearns Me primarily. What Specifications would the ship have? Time to go back to the books that I had written and dig up the information.
PB-22 Warp Drive from Cochrane Warp Dynamics, and designed by Doctor Laurence Marvick. Starfleet has given it the classification of FFTL-4A from Twenty-Two Thirty-Five, Daystrom's M-3 Deutronic Computer,
I know that I have more information on the intitial design of the CONSTITUTION Class Starship, I documented everything, but cannot find My documentation. I forgot to mail out an important piece of information (Unrelated with STAR TREK).
25 March 2015
It's a Cold and Rainy one here. Stephen wanted to stand out in it to await the bus and was mad because I had Him wait inside the apartment. Fifty degrees today (Projected Temp).
There is no feeling of being accused of Hoarding Money. I don't have Money to even Hoard! 'her-indoors' wants money for something. Without proper 'Adult' Communication nothing for the future can be planned for. she is more concearned for her own belly than Stephen's or Mine. I told her that I was 'thinking' about making Mac'n'Cheese with Hot-Dogs in it and Veggies for Dinner. Did not sit well with her because I already had Chicken thawing already. I was worried about meals for the rest of the week, but there are things here that will keep us alive until the weekend.
'her-indoors' shut off the heat in Stephen's bedroom, and became upset because the heat was not on in the Master Bedroom. she likes it cold in the Master Bedroom during the night and the Circuit had been off since last night.
she's all good now, like nothing ever happened. Bi-Polar Bitch. I am making the Chicken (Breaded and Baked) along with Stuffing and a Veggie for Dinner. Stephen is Home and Very Happy this afternoon. Seems that He fell to sleep on the Bus travel to School and told the Bus Driver 'No' (using His Signing) when it came time to disembark and go to class.
Before Breading your Chicken, Mix some 'Miracle-Whip' and 'Sour Creme' and lather generously making sure you force some into all of the Crevices. Yummy!
23 March 2015
Well, Stephen was without His Tablet for the weekend, but it came Home today, and as I tried Charging it, I discovered that the Charging Cord had been Compromised and it was not working. I have Temporarily fixed it and it should charge enough before He has to use the Toilet. My Apartment passed Inspection as I knew it would. 'her-indoors' made dinner; Au-Gratin, Breaded Baked Chicken and Peas and Carrots. It was good and Stephen ate all of His. she even made Cinnamon Rolls as Desert. Again, she uses up everything, leading Me to believe that she wants to run Me out of food before she leaves on Saturday so she can call Protective Services and have Stephen removed from My care. NOT GOING TO ALLOW THAT TO EVER HAPPEN! I will borrow money before that ever happens.
22 March 2015
I was not able to get at the Exhaust Yesterday. The weather was Misty and Cold by the time that I left PLASMA, but a Hour afterwards, it became warm and pleasant.
I am done with the Chores for the Pre-Inspection with No help from 'her-indoors', and I am awaiting for the Kitchen Floor to Dry so I can get a Meal.
Stephen is Home and He was Hungry. 'her-indoors' used the last of the Meat in this house to initially make herself something to eat, so I told her that Stephen was Hungry, so she made everyone something. Tomorrow, I use the last $10.00 to get some Meat. Enough for Meals for the next 2 Days at least. The $20.00 that I get from Plasma on Wednesday will go into the Fuel Tank of the Van just to rid Myself of her. But then I have to figure out what to do for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday meals for Stephen and I. It's going to be Chicken Breasts for the Week. 'her-indoors' will be sick of it, but it's the best that I can afford and she's going to have to just 'Deal' with it.
Behing My back, and while I was giving Stephen a Shower, 'her-indoors' turned down the heat in Stephen's bedroom, all the way 40 degrees. she has been 'Triangulating' on Me through Stephen in the past, but it's really getting to the point of attacking His Health. she Constantly goes behind My back with things. I am Aggitated, thus Stephen is. I'd better check the Circuit Breaker for My Bedroom, because she probably turned it on and turned the heat up to 80 in the Bedroom.
21 March 2015
A Busy day planned for Me today. After Stephen has left with His mother, I do the PLASMA thing, get Fuel for the Van and then go to My Parents and begin work on the Van's Exhaust. After that, I return Home, clean up a bit, then start Cleaning the House before the Inspection on Monday. There is only little to do in that regards. Stephen had a little Poop accident overnight and I had to wash Him up and Change Him befoore sending Him back to His bed. Of course, while attending to Stephen, 'her-indoors' suddenly needs to use the bathroom and starts complaining. she 'claims' that I never take Stephen to the bathroom to Urinate before He goes to School, and that I have 're-trained' Him to use the School's bathroom. I asked her how was I to 'train' Stephen that way. That, If He had to go He would go. It's not Manditory for Him to Urinate upon Command. she wrecked My Quiet Time for Relaxing before I start My Saturday.
Stephen is away and I keep getting a call from an 'Classified' Caller. It does not even show up on My 'missed calls' list on My phone.
19 March 2015
We have an Inspection coming up on Monday and I have been very busy getting ready for it. Stephen is Clausterphobic and hates the Stairwell near the Front Door. But this is a newer condition and I fear it ties into when He's with His mother. I have to get a Breakfast Yet. I plan on taking the Christmas things back to Storage today. I am awaiting the Faux Princess to awaken and it's 11:00am.
'her-indoors' is Upset with Me because I talked to My Parents for a while, to Secure the Concrete part of their Driveway so I could work on the Van's Exhaust. I was gone too long in her view. she does not take any blame for her own behavior and instead, she finds a way to blame others. I told her earlier that I was doing the laundry tomorrow and she told Me that she would get to the clothes tomorrow. Well, she slept 'till 11:00am this morning and was lazing about in the bedroom all day, only getting up to go to the bathroom and find food to shove in her Pie-Hole. I am starting
Dinner early because Stephen once again refused Michelle Obama's Meal choices. He refused to eat at all today while He was at School.
Stephen was Impatient as I prepaired Dinner. I could not move with Him within Inches behind Me as I Cooked. I had to raise My voice Several times to get Him out of the Kitchen. Eventually though, He had His dinner and ate it all. He's very satisfied now, and soon He shall have Ice-Cream as His desert.
18 March 2015
I turned in 2 DVD's full of the Activities that will get people kicked out of the Complex where I live, and some people sued for Illegal Dumping here. There is Trash Dumping, Drug Deals, Misuse of the Properties Amenaties, Children Unattended running around breaking things, Arrests, EMS, and a couple other things that are not allowed here. Time for Me to earn $20.00.
17 March 2015
Today (While Stephen was in School) I replaced the Heating Coil in the Van, Installed a new
Car Stereo, and Replaced a Headlight that had a Tiny Hole in it's lense. It was a lot of work and had to be revisited before I was satisfied. The Heating Coil I got at 'Cat's Parts-Mart' Auto-Salvage Yard, and I found an All Aluminum one, but forgot the Bracket the first time around and had to go back for it before I could even start. The OEM Heating Coil had places for the Retaining Bolts due to it's Plastic ends. The all Aluminum one needed the Bracket to do the same task. It's all Heat now, no more Bitter-Sweet taste and smell. The Car Stereo that I bouth at a Thrift Store around Christmas time needed a bit of ingenuity but is not in completely. I need a couple of Brackets before I can call it done, but it works. The Headlight did not have a
good connection the first time around, and I had to re-do it until it worked. So, 3 things completed today.
Next is the Exhaust and following that is the Brakes, then...I can again handle the Front Suspension and Steering. After that, I want to again try to make the Van get 30mpg's Highway by Changing the TBI and implacing a Solenoid to Disenguage the Transmission when My foot is off of the accelerator, that way when travelling down the Highway I can lift My foot from the Gas Pedal and then the Transmission goes into Neutral and I glide for a while. Right now, the Drive Assembly creates too much drag from the Mechanical parst moving. I just want the Wind and the Friction of the road to slow Me down, and that's it.
I just blew My elbow out helping Stephen shift His position in His bed. I feel swelling coming on. I may have to use My Alternate Arm tomorrow while at Plasma. Time for
Asprin and maybe an Frozen Bag of Peas.
16 March 2015
Stephen had been really great today, even letting Me know when He had to have a B.M. and then successfully doing so. He had His shower right afterwards (per usual). He's been insistant and persistant at having Me sing 'Hakuna-Matata' with His 'Timone' Action Figure.
11 March 2015
This morning, The bus was over an Hour Late, and After awaiting so long, I took Him to School so He would not miss out on His Breakfast. I received a call from the Driver when I was already half-way to the School. Stephen was getting very aggitated with the whole deal. Hopefully He's been able to feel like He's back in His routine before He returns Home.
Stephen and I enjoyed our Dinner, which was Breakfast. 'her-indoors' preferred not to have anything We were having tonight. She's only eating things that she prepares now, as if she does not trust My Cooking. She makes enough for 6 people, but there are only 3 here. she has been sick for a while now, and that's due to her not getting out...EVER! she just stays in the Master Bedroom watching Trash Television. she expects a lot for someone that does not help around here. she wants her laundry done, regardless that Stephen and I need laundry done, she places herself first.
09 March 2015
Stephen had an Early B.M. tonight, and it was all His prompting as well. After Dinner (which was Chicken'n'Dumplings) We had Ice-Cream, and shortly afterwards, He informed Me in His own way that He needed to have a B.M., and He did just that.
06 March 2015
Yesterday was a mess. I thought that the
Plumber was not going to show, but he did as I was preparing Dinner. Stephen was extreemly aggitated until He was able to sit down and eat. Today, I replaced a Halogen Bulb in My Brother's Car as well as getting His tire fixed. It had a Valve Stem leak. Today I also had to run to My Parents to give My Dad's Van a Jump-Start because His
battery had died. We are having Chili-Dogs with Steak-Fries for Dinner. Yesterday, Stephen was aggitated because He was hungry and as I was preparing the Meal the Plumber arrived to fix the Sewer piping. Further irritating Stephen. After He had eaten He was in a great mood.
Stephen was at first Happy to be Home, then suddenly He was Very Aggitated and has been acting out by Tearing apart His Coloring Book and Throwing His toys. I cannot figure what is causing Him to act in this manner. There are not the usual signs. I may try Him on the Toilet so He can attempt to have a B.M. right now.
Stephen had to Urinate again. He went right after He returned Home from School, but He did drink a lot of Sports-Drink since He had been Home for just about an Hour and a Half now.
Stephen was Extreemly Hungry, and thus His anger derived from the need to eat. His schol Notes stated that He ate His Lunch, and now I am feeling that was a lie. He's never been so damn hungry...EVER! He ate 3 Chili-Dogs! I have never seen Him eat that many.
Stephen had His B.M. and Shower. He also chose to go to bed Early. He was geting My attention to go into His Bedroom at 8:30p tonight.
03 March 2015
Today is Teacher Improvement Day in the School District, and that means that Stephen is Home. I have been keeping Him busy in ways that are not too productive, but they do Teach Him things. Like Patiernce, How to Request what His needs/Wants are, and when to Relax. He's doing the last thing right now, Listening to His Music selection on His Tablet and Watching 'the Secret of N.I.M.H.' on the Television. He was angry earlier because He was Hungry, and until He expressed it to Me I remained Passive. For Lunch He had Ghoulash and ate all of it. For his breakfast He had a Proper Breakfast and ate all of that as well. He will soon have His Fruit-Snacks as He typically does around 2:30p to 3:30p. I am giving them to Him early so He will be hungry by Dinner time. Dinner is going to be Breaded Baked Chicken, with Mashed Potatoes and Golden Sweet Corn.
27 February 2015
Stephen is off to school and in a 'What Ever' Mood. He has been tearing books apart at School. It's been a long time since that has happened, and it is usually due to Stress. I have to Calculate How much Money per day it takes to Keep Stephen Well and Happy.
We had Goulash for Dinner tonight and Stephen had Seconds, plus a lot of Milk to drink. He's Happy. 'Little Audry' from DVD is on the Television and He's Listening to His music from His tablet device. What he does not know is that in a short while, He will be having 2 Choc-Chip Cookies before He has Fruit-Cocktail.
26 February 2015
Again, AWOL due to Story Writing. I have been experimenting with My writing in the way of doing Daily Writing, and what I mean by 'Daily' Writing is that I write every day of the crew and the passengers. Finances are Tight, but I am managing (Barely). We have a roof over our heads and food in our bellies and Stephen is Happy/Content. I can't say that for 'her-indoors' who is rarely happy unless it involves her getting her own way and making Me miserable.
I already had My breakfast and will have to go get more Milk soon. I only have just over $7.00 on My Debit Card, enough for 2 Gallons of Milk and nothing else.
We have enough Milk until the weekend. Yes, We go through a lot of Milk here. Stephen was denied Milk for the first 11 years of His life because His mother convinced the Doctor that He was Lactose Intollerant, which He never was. Thst is true with the GURD or Acid Reflux situation. That was because she was force-feeding Him Water rather than giving Him some real food, and combined with the fact that He was Constimpated the Majority of the time...Well, He was regurtating a lot. When I had Him for the Year of 2007-2008, I discovered the problems and quickly corrected them. Stephen is far better for that. So, for the 11 Years, Stephen received Medication for Lactose Intollerance (Loose Bowels) which compounded the Constimpation and thus the Acid-Reflux because things were backing up in His system and when she gave Him water instead of food, that made things worse.
What I would suggest for a 'Cool-Down Room' is to add Fragrances, Dim the Lights, Play soft Music, and have someone in there softly talking to the child.
So, Stephen was getting very angry, so I had Him sit on the Toilet to have a B.M., and He has not. He has been in there for 20 minutes, but He's M.B.-ing Himself and watching 'Peppa Pig' or 'Pocyo' and Laughing. He had taken over My Lap-Top to watch His YouTube Videos, and that's when He became aggitated.
Well, Stephen feels better now. I had to give Him an Enima. What an Attitude change.
Alright, Stephen is in bed and already almost asleep and it's only just after 10p. I am going to wind down myself.
17 November 2014
The Neighbors across the Hallway I believe have been peeking into My apartment when I am downstairs with Stephen Awaiting for the Bus in the Morning. I will be recording each and every morning to see, and if that's the case, I will be contacting the Police and having them Evicted immediately. My Door is closed, and by Law, they are not to let themselves into My Apartment. The main reason that I say this is because when I returned upstairs, I heard the Neighbor try to shut the door as quietly as they could.
16 November 2014
I have been (so to say) AWOL due to My Story Writing. I had to restart because over 20 Chapters just Vanished. This time I am taking precautions and making Back-Up files.
07 October 2014
Stephen was determined to watch 'BABE' this morning. I need to get the Starter fixed and on the Van Once again. I have 3 hours from now to get this done, because the rain is supposed to come in by Noon. I have to go and get the Picture-Day Monry-Order before Friday, Cut Stephen's Hair, Shave His face, and Trim His Nails. I need the Van fixed first, and that's My goal this morning.
Stephen being a 'Funny Guy' tonight. I Shaved His hair and let Him take a Shower to get all of that loose hair off of Him, and then I had Him sit on the Toilet to have a B.M., and I told Him; "If you Go Poop you can get into the shower again." Well, I left Him in there, sitting on the toilet, and I was watching a YouTube Video that 'her-indoors' was laughing about when I heard the bath water running in the bathroom. I went in there and Stephen was in the Shower trying to get it going. I checked the toilet and there was a B.M., but it was very small. Too small to even register. I sis tell Hin that if He Pooped that He could get back in the Shower. He did and He did.
06 October 2014
Stepheb is Home early. Why? Because the School had an Electrical Fire.
So All of the Children at His School were transferred to the Harry Hill Facility where they had lunch before being taken Home.
He is Extreemly happy. Is it because He's watching 'BABE', which He's watched a lot of lately? Or...is it because He's Home early?
As with Fire Drills, everything is left at the School...So why did His Back-Pack return? If they had the time to get His Back-pack, they should have gotten His Tablet and the 3-Ring Binder. Makes one think that there is something more going on here.
Stephen's acting Confused. He keeps coming over, Thanking Me, then sitting on the Floor. I think that He has to have a B.M., but We tried that with No success. He's missing His Tablet is what I think, because He keeps going to His bedroom and then returning. He's sitting on the floor often, as if He's trying to hold a B.M. in.
He's happy now, Running around the Couch (Race Track) watching 'JESUS CHRIST SUPER STAR'. I know that He's hungry because he ate very little once again. He's not been eating much as of late. The van...I tried replacing the Battery Cable and ended up breaking the Plastic piece of the Starter's Solenoid that holds the Bolts for enguaging the Starter Motor. I have to get some heavy-duty glue, and I know that My Dad has some. I have to bother My Dad to take Me to the Storage Facility...Maybe I'll ride My Bicycle if it's not raining in the Morning. I will have to figure out a way to carry everything back home though.
I had to give Stephen an Enima, and right after I did that, He immediately had a B.M. which means that he has a Fear once again of Toilets.
03 October 2014
A VERY RAINY DAY! And I don't think that Stephen wanted to go to School. He was very Persistant with giving Me a DVD. 'BABE' was His selection. He did Not like the Coffee this Morning, even though this Dad tried to Dilute it, it was still Strong, almost like just Chewing on the Grains. I eventually had to do 1.4 Coffee and 3/4's Water, then put it in the Microwave for 2 minutes. Back to Stephen; I took the Large 'Golfers' Umbrella out eith us while we Walked in front of our Building awaiting for the Bus. He wanted to hold it, so I Helped because the Wind was strong and I had problems holding it and Stephen Smiled at that. It's Bowling Day and Stephen became Excited when I reminded Him while He was boarding the Bus.
02 October 2014
YES! I am able to get Food Assistance for Stephen and I. Today I go to the Office and get things started. Yesterday, I went to the DHS Office to drop off Paper-Work and was told that they only accept Scanned in (Digital) Copies and that I would have to send them Via the Web-Site, 'Their' Website. After I get finished at the DHS Office, I will be running around Paying the Bills. 'her-indoors' requested money to purchase Yarn. I am happy and proud that she is using the 'e-Cigarette'. I bought that for her 2 years ago and she's finally using it. I will get her new Cartridges today because she had become dedicated to using it. I also have been writing another 'STAR TREK' Themed Book called 'the Red Dragon' based on a Starfleet crew that was given the difficult mission to become dead and then using the guise of Merchant Traders/Shippers, they look and listen, then inform Starfleet of what they discover. I am leaving here at 9:30am to go to DHS and to start My Day. Stephen is doing really well by all accounts. He sleeps very well but still needs a little 'Melatonin' to take the Edge off before that. He eats very well, and is very 'Interractive' with Me. Next Month he has Oral Surgery, but this Month is IEP time at School. I have to get My A** around and develop a Strategy for this. But First...I have other Paperwork to get done. One for the Courts, and the other for DHS so I can Continue to get Paid for Taking Care of Mister Stephen A. Kellogg.
Stephen may be coming down with something. He ate only One Bite of Meatloaf, but drank all of His Milk. He seems to be doing what He normally does, but there are still Eight Hours.
17 September 2014
I am at WAR with the Rodents here. When a Mouse stops in a doorway and looks at you, like saying 'You cannot do anything about Me or My brethen.' I bought 2 packs of 'Sticky-Traps' (12) and a box of Poisons plus a couple 'Snap-traps' and placed each and every-one of them to catch these Pests. I bought Stephen some more 'Jock-Itch' Spray because I seem to use a lot of it on Stephen to keep Him from Digging His Crotch. He is in so much Misery if the Spray is not applied 3 times daily. He no longer Scratches His head Bloody, but I still apply the 'Scalpacin' and keep His hair short. Stephen will be with His mother from Thursday Night to Sunday evening because the gf (her-indoors) is in NY and wants to come Home. I have to pick up her mother and she will ride with Me there, and the gf will be the only one returning with Me. her Daughter is coming a couple weeks afterwards and I wonder why she (the gf) does not wait to come back with them?
16 September 2014
Stephen's Birthday Party at School went very well. I helped Stephen with a Task and I had to use 'Hand-Over-Hand' to help Him, all but Once. Yes, He's Capable of doing the task, but does not concentrate. In His defense, it's difficult when you are worried about a Violent Classmate that is within Arms reach. Each Student had 2 CupCakes, a Drink and a Bag of goodies. I don't tell 'her-indoors' about anything because she's unsupportive, but if it were for her child(ren) she would want as much as she could get. So she favors her children rather that supporting Mine. She does not Understand the Autism Disorder but Knows everything about it. And...she's coming back. Am I happy? Not really...well, NO. I know what will happen. She will just fall back in the routing of thinking that she's getting away with degrading Me Verbally, like in the middle of the night when she wakes Me up by 'Jumping' on the bed as she gets up to go use the toilet then Calling Me a Name like 'Asshole', 'Bastard', or any-other of a myriad of names and she thinks that I am unnaware. I will be requesting her to leave the next time that she does this. she has No respect for Me, or for Stephen.
12 September 2014
Awake early again. Going to have My coffee and relax for a few minutes before getting Stephen up and ready for School Today. He will be wearing a Hoodie because it is going to remain cold today.
Stephen's 'Tablet' and 3-Ring Binder were left at His school. I tried calling and got someone else. They changed their Phone System. I will be calling the Front Office in a little while. Stephen had an accident last night, despite My efforts to take Him to the bathroom several times, He still Urinated His bed. Stephen did well last night regardless, no 'Meltdowns' or fits. He played with His 'Paper-Jamz' Guitar last night. I will from now on be taking Stephen to the bathroom at 10pm and at 11pm before I go to bed. He was dressed warmly with a T-Shirt, a Heavy Short-Sleeved Shirt and His Camoflauge Hoodie, and He was still cold and shaking. Is He getting this new 'Virus'? I hope not.
I am washing the Sheets and the Blanket in the Bathtub, plus the Clothes that He was wearing in Bed last night.
11 September 2014
We Bow our heads to Remember those that were Slaughtered, Those that Gave Their Lives, and those that Still do.
Stephen was in a good mood this morning, and Today was supposed to get warm, but has not happened yet. I sent Stephen in Jeans and a short Sleeved Shirt (a heavy one), but wish that I had sent Him in a sweater as well. It is still a very chilly day. I am fixing His 'Paper-Jamz' Guitar that 'her-indoors' Daughter and Son-In-Law had bought Him a couple years back, and it's the one that He Really Likes. He will have it by Tomorrow. He would have had it today, except the Glue did not dry completely and it came apart, so I had to clean the surface and use Sandpaper to rough it up before trying again. I am doing 2 layers of the backing plastic to give it extra strength.
It's great to hear about 'her-indoors' Grandchildren, but I know how it's going to be when she returns. She want Love and Attention, But at her timeframes. I cannot just go up to her and give her affection. Noooo, she will not have that. Then she gets Mad at Me when I don't. How the hell am I to know when she's receptive or not? I cannot keep trying every 5 to 10 minutes because I will never get anything done that needs to be done.
10 September 2014
Yes, I went to Plasma, and it took over 3 hours! Closer to 4 hours! I did not have time to go to MEIJER's to get Stephen's 'Miralax' (Though He does not need it here) either, especially that I had to go Shopping to get some food for dinner. I did not sleep in, nor did I get up early as I did the prior 2 days. Stephen needs to be ready for the Bus by 7:35am, so He has to be gotten up by 7:00am so I can have Him ready, and that means that I have to awaken at 6:30am, a Half Hour earlier than I am now. This morning, Stephen was amiacable, and easy to get around and on the Bus.
Dinner was a Success. The Chicken bathed in Teriaki Sauce and a little Vanilla and Sprinkled with Seasoned Salt, then Baked, Golden Sweet Corn and Mashed Potatoes. I have to get the Fruit Cocktail ready for 7:30pm, and then at 8:40pm it is Dad's Special Chocolate milk.
Stephen is extreemly Happy. He just had His desert of Fruit-Cocktail. He's also watching 'Home on the Range'. He's Laughing and doing Laps around the Couch. He's been doing really well at having B.M.'s every Night, and with His current attitude, He should have one tonight, Despite the lack of 'Myralax' the last 2 Nights.
09 September 2014
I have awaken Early for the 2nd Day in a row! What's going on? Is this an Age Related thing? I remember My Grandmother (on my Mother's Side) doing this. I will be awakening Stephen very soon so He can watch His cartoons before the bus arrives. After He's on the Bus and on His way to School, I will be going to the Laundry Mart and catching up on the Laundry, even doing 'her-indoors' Laundry. Seperating the Laundry? No. Why? Because I don't have that much money to run Multiple Washers. Multiple Dryers, Yes. I have to get some Laundry Soap and Softner this morning yet. Time to Awaken Stephen and get Him ready for Tuesday's School Events.
Time to get the Laundry done, then it's back here to get the Dishes done. First, Laundry Soap and Softner.
Laundry is finished and needs to be put away. I have to get a Lunch first. Then it's to get the Dishes done. I have decided that Breakfast is for Dinner tonight. I have 3 Hours.
08 September 2014
First Day of the Second Week of School. I gave Stephen the Liquid Varriants of Melatonin, Omega-3, and Multivitamin/Multimineral Suppliments last Night in Chocolate Milk. He drank it Willingly and All of it, and this Morning I smelled the Omega-3 in his urine, meaning that His Kidney's are Clean. He seemed a little different this Morning, More Thoughtful. He slept through the night and did not Urinate in His bed. He was ready to get on the Bus, but Not as Excited as He normally is when the Bus comes. Stephen returned to Me Unmarked. He was Happy when I picked Him up from His mother's last Night but when We arrived in the Apartment, He suddenly became very angry and started hitting His Kneed with Closed Fists and Verbally Venting and running around the Apartment, regardless if Everything was taken care of. I knew that He needed to have a B.M., but it had to be on His terms, and Eventually it was, and He did.
I finally found it! The Third Season of the Original (Unaltered) Series of STAR TREK! $15.00 for the 7 DVD Set. I have all 3 now! I have a New Computer Mouse as well, so now all of the buttons work. I am SET for Stephen's Birthday Party at His School. They will be having White Cupcakes with Chocolate and Butterscothch Swirls and a Butter Creme Frosting. With that, I have bought several Gift Bags and some Toys to put in them for each Student. All of the Toys are to develop some sort of skill, like 'Fine-Motor', 'Sensory', and 'Coordination'. WHat I had gotten for the School Birthday party are thos Frogs that you press on their back and they Jump, Silly Straws, The Stickers, and Silly Slide Flutes. Stephen will have a 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' Balloon as well. For Home, He's getting 2 DVD's, DISNEY's 'the SHAGGY DOG' and 'the GRINCH Stole Christmas' with Jim Carey. I will continue to be on the look out for more DVD's for Him before the 16th.
Stephen is Very Happy. He ate All of His dinner and wanted more and ate all of that. I will be giving Him Chocolate Milk with the 'Melatonin', 'Omega-3', and the 'Multivitamin/Multimineral' Liquids in it.
06 September 2014
I have been working on the RPG Battle Simulation, and I believe that I am ready. I have dredged up all of the files and printed them. Since it is a 'Simulation' I am using information that I believe is NOT accurate to add more to the story-line of the 'Red Dragon', because this 'Simulated' battle will be flawed. It will take another character to realize this and have the problem fixed. Yes, the main character will have his A** handed to him, but it's a learning experience and for the story. This will be played out tonight. I will be going to Plasma tomorrow, then to go Grocery Shopping. One does not get much on $55.00 trhese days. So, this 'Simulated' Combat will happen after I go help the parents with taking down their swimming pool. So around 7:00pm. The 'her-indoors' will be returning within 7 days, and I can already hear her voice complaining about everything. So I feel pressured to get as much accomplished as quickly as I can. I am not going to go light on her this time. She needs to Contribute or go away. Her being here drains every resource. She needs to get her own cigerettes and her own personals. I have supported her for the last 4 years and I no longer can, or will. She better plan on living with her mother again. I wont mention the issues that I had with Stephen's mother.
05 September 2014
Stephen has had No Urunation accident last night. He's back on track (Until next Monday). I am going to pay the Courts/Child-Support this Morning for Last Month and this Month. I should be getting the $150.00 for the Table Saw within the next 3 Days, and that will go a long way with Personal needs for Stephen and Myself. I still have money on My PLASMA Card for food. The 'Red Dragon' Writing is going great. Added more to the first 2 chapters and started the 3rd Chapter. By the 4th chapter, the crew will be performing their first mission. First (back to the 3rd chapter), Erik (the Captain) will be in the Combat Simulation room performing a simple Mock situation with the current configuration of his ship. He will be doing 2 of these before Chapter 4. Stephen remained awake past Midnight, and He's tired this morning. I have to shower and get going to accomplish My goals so I can get back here.
The Court is paid for Last Month and this Month, so I should not expect a knock at my door about this. I bought some 'Essential Oils' for the use on Stephen's Bed and I also bough some Enzyme treatment for Septic Systems to break down the Urine Smell. It was strong this time and even with all My efforts, it Remained.
I am probably going to 'Simulate' a Battle for the writing that I am doing on the 'Red Dragon'. I have what I need, I just need to put the time into playing. I had Streamlined the battle rules, and have reduced it to 20 minutes.
We are having a storm here that has been going on for over an hour, and thats a Complete Storm. I want to open the windows, but I do not want any rain water getting into the house. I am going to have to do a battle all by Myself.
04 September 2014
Though Stephen has been Urinating His bed for the last 2 days, I know why. It's the Stresses of a Full days of School. I have used the Carpet Cleaner to clean His mattress this morning and it's drying. I will be doing His Sheets and the Blanket that I used to Seperate Him from the Urine until this Morning. I did wash Him up last Night after I discovered that He had Urinated His bed.
The Neighbors were out and about last night. Talking Loudly, and Smoking Weed together. There is No respect for Others with these young people. This will have to change. And One person that does not even live here officially is a Computer Hacker and has Hacked My Router and Computer. Of course I don't keep important files on My LapTop, so I am safe in that manner. These young people's Carcenagins drift up through My window and I can smell whatever that are smoking.
It has begun to rain, but it's not a heavy or violent rain. This will only push the Humidity today. It's supposed to get up to the High 80's.
Well, the weather is Favorable today. I have just had My Lunch and I am feeling far better. I have the Money to pay the Courts/Child-Support for Last Month as well as this Month. I will be doing that tomorrow. I did start writing the 'STAR TREK: Red Dragon' Story, and am happy with the Direction. Boy do I wish that I knew how to 'Mesh' in 3D AutoCadd. Oh well.
03 September 2014
A Busy Summer has kept Me away, with a touch of laziness.
I am finally going to allow My 4 Books to be Published. I am Also going to write a Book Called 'STAR TREK: Red Dragon'.
Stephen and I have deffinately gotten our Monies Worth from the 'County Park Pass' and the 'Potter Park Zoo Pass' this year.
'Her-Indoors' has been gone most of the summer because her Daughter needed the help. She had Kidney Stones (Bad Ones) while carrying the New Baby. The Baby had to be Born before the Stoned could be reduced so they can pass through her system. But, 'her-indoors' will be returning around the 18th. I have moved My Office Desk to the Livingroom, but left more than enough room for Stephen's 'Race Track' around the couch. Stephen has taken over My Corner several times in Several Days. From where I am now sitting, I can watch 'her-indoors' but she cannot watch Me.
I need more lighting for My corner because even at Dusk it becomes difficult to keep seeing the Keys on the LapTop.
The Book 'STAR TREK: Red Dragon' will be a Web Book, and it will be based from Characters that My Brother had created, as long as all of the Technologies. The 'Gist' is that Starfleet needs a group of 'Specialists' that are unafilliated with the Federation and it's allies, but works in conjuntion with those groups. They cannot be 'Section 13' or any-other affiliated branch. They have to be 'Solo' and fend for themselves. They are untied to any Rules and/or Guidelines of the Federation or any Member. I already have All of the Pictures in relation to the ship, even Floor/Deck Plans. This 'Team' will have only minimal support and work under the guise of 'Trader/Pirate' and probably hunted by most races, even Starfleet.
School Started Yesterday for Stephen. A week early because they Fear that this Winter will be really bad, so unlike last year where the Children missed all 6 days of 'Snow Days', they want a 'Buffer' for the bad weather. Stephen is doing well in School, and His IEP for the Summer School was good, though I believe that He can and will do better.
I have found ALL of the Information to the 'Red Dragon', Including Crew, Equipment, and Upgrades. I can 'Role-Play' the events because it includes that information.

YES...I have been Neglecting this site. I have been tired, more than normal. Why? Because I am not able to follow a routine that benefits My Health. I was able to get out on the Bicycle yesterday to go get some groceries, even though I suffered a fall because of a slight miscalculation, I was able to get what was needed and return without incident.
Today, After Stephen awakens and has His breakfast, We are going to the Zoo. There we will stay for an hour. It is only supposed to get as High as 71F degrees today with Rain in the afternoon. Maybe tomorrow, Stephen and I can go Swimming in the Grandparent's Swimming Pool, and I told Him that I would be getting in the Pool with Him. It is supposed to get into the 80'sF tomorrow, After the Morning Rains. We will not be able to go Swimming until after 3p, that's when the rain is supposed to end.
Stephen has been doing really well, despite having a few accidents, like Urinating His bed Once and Once after He got out of Bed, but that's just after He returned from His mother's. He's been using the Tablet in an appropiate manner, but not to the frequency that I anticipated. I have Stephen over the Weekend because His mother is moving from the 6th floor to the 3rd floor. She still is unable to work with Stephen to use the Stairs and that's a Continued Concearn for His health and safety in the event of an immediate emergency. Stephen received another mark on His Right Hand that looks very similar to a Cigarette burn. Someone ther is harming Stephen, and the fact that Stephen 'Jumps' like He's expecting an attack of some sort on Sunday Nights when I awaken Him to go to the bathroom around Eleven.
For breakfast, I will reheat some Pancakes and make some Eggs and Hashbrowns so He has the energy for the day. I had My Coffee and will have a Bagel for Breakfast. A Donation has been made for Stephen. Not for 'her-indoors' and Not for Me. I have Discovered a Friend that shares My values and has No interest in Changing who I am. Unlike the gf who immediately, when she moved in started trying to change Me and telling Me how to Raise and Care for Stephen. Someone who has Lost her own children due to her behavior. The gf's oldest Daughter was primarily raised by the Grandmother, and right now, her Youngest Daughter is being raised by her Ex (who I hold in higher regard) and her only Son (that I am aware of) has struck out on His own and is prospering. 'her-indoors' only sucks the resources from this household, and she rarely does any chores unless it affects her directly. I am back in the same situation as with the 'child-beater', and Stephen's mother, and that is; They are 'LAZY'! They expect everything for doing Nothing! 'her-indoors' called a little while ago just for Me to find some DVD's and CD's that I had made, she wants them Mailed to her at her Daughter's house.
I seem to have a lot to write about today. I need to awaken Myself before I can continue with today.
I am Refreshed and ready for the day. I should let Stephen have a shower as well this morning to get Him fully awake before We start the Days Adventures. We will be not only going to the Zoo, but to 'Disc-Traders' to find a DVD for Lillie called 'RIO' because She has 'RIO2' on DVD. Then I have to send out the DVD's and CD's that I had created for 'her-indoors' along with 'RIO'.
Well, it seems that Stephen will have a Summer Vacation that He will remember after all. The Van will have to be fixed in the Exhaust area and Shocks first, but that's the Easy work. Both can be done in a single day. I will also be able to get the Spare Tire fixed.
I can now get a New Battery for the Van, Something with High Output that will ensure that it starts throught the Winter. That also allows Me to use the Previous battery to power the Exterior Outlets on the Van.
23 June 2014
The gf ('her-indoors') is Mad because I would not do anything with her last night. The fact is, she's been sutch a 'Bitch' as of late and I have NO Desire to have any intimate relationship with such a person exhibiting such behaviors. she wants to be in 'Control' and when she is not, she has no problem in causing grief.
22 June 2014
Well...It's been a few days since I last visited this Blog, and I am not proud that I had let it go for so long. HAving someone in your life that has the Need to monitor you is difficult, and Tiring.
15 June 2014
HAPPY FATHER's DAY!!!
I picked Stephen up at 9:00am and after going to My parents to return 4 DVD's, and when Stephen had seen the DVD's that I was going to Return, He wanted Me to keep 3 of that 4. So, after being at My Parents visiting, We were off to POTTER Park Zoo, where We looked around for an Hour and a Half, and Stephen rode the Camel ($5.00). Then We returned Home for Lunch. We watched a couple of DVD's, then I took Him to the Water Park for an hour. Then I made Breakfast for Dinner. Stephen did have a B.M. tonight, which means it's Spaghetti for dinner tomorrow. Stephen is now watching Donald Duck on YouTube either for an Hour, or until the battery dies.
13 June 2014
Yesterday the Van did not start and I drained the battery. Seems that's another thing that I have to replace. I had this one for the last 4 years, so it did good. I have to get a High-Torque Battery since I have the High-Performance Starter now. Than I will have to get a High-Output Alternator. Stephen awoke in a great mood and ready for the day. Yesterday I was in a writing obsession, but Stephen demanded attention and that reduced the amount of writing that I accomplished. Today, I want to get the Van started so Stephen and I can go to the Zoo.
The Van Started!! and Stephen and I went to the Zoo for a while. We even borrowed 2 DVD's, but forgot one at Grandma's. I made a Pork'n'Beans with Cut up Hot-Dogs and Elbow Macaronni's for Lunch, and Stephen had Sports Drink with His Lunch. We went to the Grocery Store before returning Home, that's where We got the Beans and Sports Drink. Now I have to go back and get some Mashed Potatoes.
So, Dinner was a great success. Stephen likes the Movie 'the Nut Job'. My Mother gave us some Macaronni Salad, which was Delicious.
11 June 2014
After 11pm, 'her-indoors' had to get something more to eat. Yesterday I learned all I could on the Character Named 'Scotty' from the 'Star Trek' Series and developed a timeline of the events that surrounded his life, and now I can safely apply it ti the 5th Book that I wrote. I have to 'Ensure' that what I write falls into the actual timeline and events as 'Cannon' and is likely to be accepted by the 'Super Geeks' that are 'Anal' with the Original Series and other related information. Stephen is still sleeping, but I will be getting Him up in about 15 minutes (@ 9:00am).
Stephen awoke before the time that I was going to get Him up and around. Since He did so good yesterday, exceeding any limits that I had understood at the time, He is going to have Spaghetti w/Homemade Meatsauce. The Meatsauce is now cooking without the Meat, and We have to go get the Spaghetti, so an Adventure is in Process soon.
10 June 2014
I did Plasma this Morning, Leaving Stephen with 'her-indoors' for 3 hours, as I had to do some grocery shopping afterwards for dinner. I had no-one else to lean on to watch Stephen. I am sure that I could have found someone if I took the time, but it's would have been such short notice, and an inconvienience.
Well, Stephen may have not had a B.M., but He's starting to Vocalize when He needs to go to the bathroom. He said "???? Poo" So I had Him rush to the bathroom and had Him sit on the toilet, put His 'Tablet' device in there with Him and have Donald Duck playing, and all that He has done is Urinate. He willingly went to the bathroom and sat down on the toilet. Maybe I am being to impatient for a positive outcome? He's still sitting on the toilet watching Donald Duck videos, so I will lwt Him stay there for another 10 minutes. Fingers Crossed.
HE DID!!! This is a Very Monumental Moment for Him and I!!! But...if I get too 'Excited', He will not do it again. I have to remain 'Low-Key' with My excitement. 'her-indoors' thinks that I am 'Nuts' for getting excited.
'her-indoors' has been eating Stephen's Fruit-Cocktail! I had bought enough Cans for the Week and when I looked, there were only 2 left! Now I have to Hide the last one! Fucking Glutenous Pig!
09 June 2014
Yesterday; So, Stephen comes back Home and He has No Interest in His 'Tablet'. Go Figure. Stephen's mother even told Me that she did not let Him use His 'Tablet' until Sunday, before she took Stephen down to wait for Me. Also...she stated that she did not work with Stephen to use the Stair-Well. she is LAZY!!! I helped Stephen, but not by much to use the stairs here. He did most of it Himself. Of course, Stephen did Not want to have a B.M. while at His mother's either and is afraid of the toilet...again.
Stephen and I went to the Zoo today, and He was a Gentle Giant to several Babies. He said His Special Hello and the parents were extreemly tollerant and even entertained the social actions from My Son. We also paid a few bills that I was hoping to address before His Summer Break, but could not. Only 2 bills remain to be paid. Tomorrow is Plasma, will I be able to go?
There were A-LOT of people at the Zoo, as was the last time than we went, but Stephen handled it far better, except for the Reptile/Bird/Amphibian House where All of the Many Dozens of voices were Echoing from the Concrete walls. We were in only for a couple of minutes, then He had enough. He handled Himself well by knowing what His limits are and taking action instead of having a 'Meltdown'. We took a break and the Greedy Peacock came rushing over to try and snatch food from Him. I distracted the bird by crushing a Gold-Fish Cracker in My fingers and tossing it to the ground. Kind of like when you are told to dump salt at your doorways/entries to keep a Vampire from entering your house. LOL. He had a great time and did not rush to leave, despite all the people that were there.
Stephen has been introducing all of these new Signings of His, and I am at a Loss to what they mean.
08 June 2014
Yesterday...What can I say. My Van broke down while at the PLASMA place. Starter quit working. So I called relatives to try getting a Jump-Start and maybe convince the Starter to work, but the only person that was available was My Niece, Elizabeth. She made it to the PLASMA place and we tried the Cables, and then I decided to go to the Local Parts-Yard to see if I could find a Starter. Most of the vehicles there were on the ground and I did not have a jack to lift any of them, so it took a while to find a vehicle with the transmission still there, and since the Starter is always connected to the Transmission, they were gone as well. After 40 minutes I found a Heavy-Duty Truck with a Starter, but what was a bonus was that this Starter is a High-Performance Starter! They cost from $150.00 to $250.00, and I got it for $25.00! So I bought My Niece 2 Tires at $10.00 each and told Her where to have them mounted for a total of $16.00 each, so in all, She had to only spend $32.00 for 2 Tires that are in really good shape. She was going to spend $160.00 to get Tires from a Tire Place. So I saved Her ~$130.00.
This Year, I am going to Finish Stephen's Bike-Cart, and Changing out the Oil Sending Unit and Throttle-Body on the Van, as well as Finish the Wiring of the 12volt to 110volt converter. The Bike-Cart will be First. I want far better fuel mileage than 24mpg. I want to push the boundries to at least 30mpg's minimum and 35mpg would be great, and even better I would not expect, but would happily take.
I will be taking the Oil-Sending Unit from the same Truck that I found the Starter on, but it's Port-Fuel-Injection, Meaning that I will have to look for a Throttle-Body from a different large (Heavy-Duty) Vehicle.
Did I mention, that when Stephen and I went to the Zoo, that as we were viewing the New Moose that Stephen turned around, Looked at this Five-ish year old boy on the Shoulder of His father and wearing a Hat, Stephen stopped and looked like He may have been missing that from Me. But as He was looking, the little boy took the Hat off of his head and Placed it on Stephen's. And what was amazing was that Stephen left it on and Smiled at the boy. When I mentioned that it was time to go, Stephen took the hat off and handed it to the Father. It was amazingly peaceful for everyone involved. I am going to Consult Stephen's Doctor on getting Him on a Prescribed Regiment of the 'Omega-3' and 'Multivitamin/Multimineral'. I have recorded from a VHS Tape to a DVD for 'her-indoors', even though I had to fix the VCR first, then I had to Fix the VHS Tape so it played the best that it could to ensure the best quality recording that I could. The VHS Tape was 20 years old, and whatever was White is Now Yellow and Brittle, so I sacraficed a Unopened VHS Tape for parts and replaced the Video Information from the Old Tape Case to the New Tape Case. But the Media was damaged through the years and nothing that I could do to repair that. 'her-indoors' is not even grateful for what I could do.
I finally found the Picture from the LugNuts Game of this year with Stephen's School.
We are in Red T-Shirts and Stephen's Arm is up because I was making Him Wave.
'her-indoors' Bitches for Cigarettes and never says thank-you when she gets them, then she bitches when I leave a bowl in the sink (which is full of dish water). she's not even grateful to do the little dishes that are in the sink, because there are dishes in the sink that she had created when I went to get Stephen and her cigarettes. Stephen's mother admited to not letting Him use Hid 'Tablet' device until this evening before I picked Him up. I did get upset, but kept My temper. Again, Stephen did not have a B.M. while in her care and He did not have any Stair Time either.
'her-indoors' Eats, and Eats, and Eats! Every time I turn around! She's shoving something in her mouth! she tried to sneak the food while I was taking care of Stephen in the bathroom. she just does Not care!
Eating, Eating, Eating! Macaronni Now.

After Stephen arrived from school on the bus, I escorted Him to the Van, where He seemed Confused. We then went to the Credit-Union and cashed My check that I earn for Caring for Stephen through DHS/CPS. He seemed still confused but enjoyed His time with the Staff there. We then Headed out to the Zoo to see the new addition, the Alaskan Moose. As soon as We were on the main street leading to the Zoo He became excited, and when He saw the Sign, He tried to quell His excitement. I could not get the County Park Sticker at the gate/entrance and had to drive all the way in and park. We had to go up to the Entry Gate for the Zoo to get the County Park Pass and the Yearly Zoo Pass. It took a few minutes to fill out a form for the Zoo, but immediately afterwards we went in. We spent an Hour or more going around, and Stephen had His Camel Ride, then We went to the area where We could feed the birds. A Woman took a picture of Stephen and I as We had a Cockatiel on the Seed Stick, and offered to eMail it to Me, but I had to refuse because of the Over-Jelous person here would get all upset. The total was $90.00 for both passes ($30.00 for the County Pass and $60.00 for the Zoo Pass)
Stephen once again associated a Character from a DVD to the same Character in one of His books. Yeartle the Turtle. So I am going to seek out that character in Plush/Stuffed form for Him and see if He continues to make connections. I have found 2 on eBay, One for $50.00 and the other for $25.00, but I am going to look through all Dozen Thrift Stores around Lansing to see if there is one in any of them.
05 June 2014
Alright, Here's the Deal: The 'Girlfriend' has been taking out various DVD's from the Library that deal with the Issue of AUtism, Like one on 'OT' and then she has also been taking out DVD's of 'The Boy that Could Fly'. I commend that she wants to learn about ASD, but...She does NOT interact with Stephen. She does not want to be 'First Hand' or 'Hands On' with Stephen, so why would she be doing this? Is/Could this be an actual effort? Or is this so she can 'Book-Smart' Me on how I care for Stephen? I really do not know what way to turn on/with this. she does Not watch them with Me to get My input on 'Factual' circumstances over what is perceived in books or on DVD's.
03 June 2014
Stephen had a B.M. last Night/Early Morning and I just cleaned Him up,Changed Him and let Him go back to bed until I had to awaken Him for School. He has a 'Water Day' at His school. Myself, I did the Plasma thing then went Grocery Shopping befroe returning Home.
Stephen is in an Exceptionally Good Mood this evening. He ate ALL of his Spaghetti with Homemade Meatsauce tonight, and now He is eating His Fruit Cocktail. He has ad Command of My LapTop so He can listen to His music selection without it 'Buffering' all of the time as it does on His 'Tablet'.
A Successful Night Tonight! Stephen had a Huge...Massive Bowel Movement! He's won His Reward by being able to Listen and Dance to His Music on His 'Tablet' before going to Bed.
02 June 2014
Stephen was Happy last night, Despite that He had Scabs on His Scalp, He had a Sun-Burn on the Back of His Neck, His New (Oversized) Shoes were Hurting His feet (Size 11), and that He was Dehydrated. I am sure that it was because He was Home. I have to go do some Shopping for Food Stuffs and Pay the Rent. I did not pay 2 bills for this month yet. I want to go into the Office and discuss why I am paying so much for them. I paid the Important ones though.
Stephen's 'Tablet' Device did not come Home with Him today, but He knows that I understand Him and He indicated that He wanted Music, so I am playing it on My 'LapTop'. He Ate Most of His dinner and I just Trimmed His Finger-Nails. We had some Rain, and it cooled things down for now. Tomorrow at Stephen's School they are having a 'Water Party', which I know Stephen will love. I have Plasma to do, then I will go there to watch (Not Participate) and then to the Library to pick up a few things there that are on hold, then to get food stuffs for Dinner. I have one-other stop to the parents to look at something, and that's all that I have to do. I have discovered some Web-Sites that will help Me modify the 'TomTom' Navigation device to any Theme that I want.
Stephen's mother does Not know how to care for Him, because if she did, He never would have dug His Scalp open while with her, and He would have been Hydrated. Just this afternoon His Urine finally started to Lighten and Indicates that He's Finally Re-Hydrated again. His mother writes that she gives Him Sports-Drink, but it does not show in His urine.
30 May 2014
After Stephen had left for School, I grabbed a bite, took out the Trash, then went to Plasma...Where I waited 2 hours to be screened, then it took a Third hour before the Plasma withdraw process was over. 3 Hours! Used to be 2 hours. Afterwards, I went and got Stephen and I Pizza for Dinner tonight. I do not want to do any cooking. Don't feel like it. I did Not receive a call from Stephen's Teacher about Him being tired, Because I gave Him a Sleep-Aid and He was tired yesterday as well. He is Due Home in less that 20 minutes.
Events of the Afternoon are as follows; Where going to the Plasma Center used to take 2 hours, it now takes 3 hours. Today, a person from the Corporate office was there, so they were trying to make a good impression by keeping the lobby full and the floor busy, and the Juggling slowed everything down. Did not get out until noon then went to the Grocery Store to get Pizza for Dinner. I do not want to prepare a meal, just cooking it is good enough for Me. Stephen will eat the Pizza as long as He can use a spoon to eat it, which means that I have to cut it up. Stephen had Taught Me a New Sign of His. He replaced the 'Yes' of pivoting His wrist like nodding of the head, to Pointing at His Thumb. I don't get the connection, but that's what it means. Yeppers----------Stephen is a Full Blown Teenager. I went out to the Diningroom to check the Indoor-Outdoor Digital Thermometer and when I came back to the Livingroom, He had His hand in the air with His Cup (Which was empty), and He was waving it, Like as if Saying 'Fill it up'. Am I going to hate these Teen Years? Maybe I should have waited on starting the regiment? Oh-Kay. Stephen wants to be a 'Teenager' well... I just shocked Him by letting Him lay in bed and watch 'Donald Duck' while laying down. He looked at Me like He was doing something wrong. It was precious. Another 'Teen' thing that I allowed Him to do was to Not have a Shower tonight (He can have it in the Morning). He's being given the Benefit and rights of a 'Teen'. We will see how this progresses.
Yesterday I had forgotten to mention; Stephen has been 'Forcing' Eye Contact. Yes, I said 'FORCING'. He grabs My face and turns it to Him and looks Deeply into My eyes with Determination (As if He's trying to 'Mind-Meld' with Me). I about Spit water in His face the first time that He did it because it seemed so utterly ridiculous that He would do such a thing, and I thought it Funny. He's done thin on a number of occasions these last 4 to 5 days. Is this His way of telling Me that He knows about the Regiment that I am sneaking to Him?
29 May 2014
I have found some more Information for the Series of 'Star Trek' books that I am writing. Uniforms, Weapons, Technologies are all the things that I was able to find, plus some 'Hints' as to what the 'First' 'CONSTITUTION' Class Starship looked like so I can use that on the Cover of the 5th book. I still have Cover Art to do for 3 of the books, Plus what I have to do for the 'Level-One' Game that I want to do. I have painted over 20 EBEN/Alien Types and have another 15 to do. I am keeping an eye out for anything Alien/EBEN Related so I can add to the 'Library' before beginning. I pointed another MAT member to 3 'Fan-Fic' 'Star Trek' Series. I didn't know there were so many 'Geeks' on the MAT Site. Stephen was still Sleepy after He arrived at School this morning, and if He would have went straight to sleep last night, instead of staying up pass 1a this morning, he would have been fine. Every time that I would just start to drift-off, He would start laughing. I received a call from Stephen's Teacher about Him being Tired this morning. I had to tell Her that Stephen, being a Teenager wanted to stay awake past Midnight and that I would give Him a Sleep-Aid tonight to get Him back on Track with His sleep routine.
'edisonnation.com' is BOGUS! They said that they were a free Invention submission Site that helps with all legal documents and process's without charges. LIES! $25.00 to Submit anything. Here I was going to get My LSP-VAV (Low Static Pressure-Variable Air Volume box) 'It's an HVAC thing' (Heating,Ventilation,and Air Conditioning) submitted so building can 'Actually' meet the 'Green' Requirements. I know that this is a lot of 'Mumble-Jumble' to a lot of you, but those that have worked in the HVAC field will understand. The piece of equipment allows for a free'er airflow and removes the necessity to upgrade the blower fan on the AHU (Air Handling Unit), or RTU (Roof Top Unit) after reaching 100 feet of Ductwork. Blah, Blah, Blah is what a lot of you are hearing, but this actauly works, because I have already 'Prototyped' one and it works with or without a fan. I used the 'Prototype' in a House that I was buying back on 2005 and it alone heated a basement of about 720 square feet. Again, I went to the Afore mentioned Site to Submit the design and it was advertised as 'Free', but actually was not. Don't trust them.

Stephen was really good up to the point that it was Shower Time and then Bed Time. He was starting to watch 'Horton Hears a Who' the Cartoon and I 'Muted' it and I Stopped the Music on My Laptop to get Him moving towards the bathroom, He lashed out. When I got Him in the bathroom and sitting on the toilet, He calmed down, and I went and got His 'Tablet' so He could watch 'Donald Duck' cartoons. He did have a B.M. and felt better. He was sleepy when He was in the Shower, so I hurried to get Him clean and out of the shower, then dressed and to bed. He's in there now listening to His 'paper-Jamz' Guitar while laying on His bed.
28 May 2014
A new day and lots of chores to accomplish while Stephen is off to school. I am so PROUD of Him because He is Overcoming many things these days. The 'Omega-3' and 'Multivitamin/Multimineral' treatment seems to be aiding His success. But I have one problem, He's being sneaky and at least once, He's hidden one of His 'Omega-3' Gummies in the couch. He hates the Texture of them because of the coating and they are harder to chew that his normal gummies. Stephen is taking more in that stays with Him, and He's connecting things. It's Success after Success and it was a Weekly thing, but it has become Bi-Weekly.
Chores; Done! I have to get to the Paperwork for the Apartment Complex and for PS for Caring for Stephen. My Mother called to remind Me to gather up the Indoor/outdoor Speakers that I had bouth for over there when we got the 12'x24' swimming pool so we had music to listen to as we enjoyed the summer. Since the pool is gone, and they no longer have a deck in their back yard, the speakers have no home. I will use them for the Van and connect them to the center console so the music can be heard in the back as well.
I am 'Receiving' Monies on Stephen's Behalf soon, and I am going to use 100% on Stephen. I will Log it in here to Document where the money will be going. One of the First things that I will be doing to to ensure that the Vehicle stays in good operating condition and Increase the Fuel-Mileage as I have been struggling with for the last 3 years. I will also get His 'Bike-Cart' done so We can go out and enjoy some time together. I will get the Yearly 'Zoo-Pass'. Sterphen will get more Short-Sleeved Shirts and T-Shirts, plus a couple more Shorts. I will make the best of 'His Money'.
I am known for using money to save money, Like buying LED lights for the Apartment so in the long run it saves money. Now if the Utility company would actually read their meters to get an accurate wattage usage. They would get a Surprise that My usage is so low. They will owe Me monies. Today! Again! Stephen used His 'Tablet' Device in an appropriate manner. He used it to say: "I Want" then "YouTube" And He got it! Because He's getting it! He's understanding the Connection, and He's exceeding the timeline that I had Anticipated in this area. I am a very Happy Dad! Now...for Tonight. Let's see if He will refrain from Urinating on the Bathroom Floor.
27 May 2014
Stephen just used the 'Tablet' successfully and Meaning what He said. He selected; "I want", then "A Drink" and when I went to the Kitchen to get Him some Sports Drink He was right behind Me, Smiling! This was Confirmation (to Me) that He did use the 'Tablet' with Intent to get the thing that He wanted. There is a Definite Change going on in His mind. Instead of the 'Usual Movies' that He selects, He chose one that He had not seen in more than 3 Months. 'Oliver and Company'.
According to 'WEBNODE' the Other Site 'AutismandStephen' is still up. I am awaiting Stephen to be in bed and sleeping before I try to get on it. If that Site is still available, then all of My other Sites are.
I am just too emotionally tired to do anything. I will save My efforts for the marrow.
This is actually Yesterday's report:
'EXCELLENT'!!! My Son just used the 'Tablet' successfully and Meaning what He said. He selected; "I want", then "A Drink" and when I went to the Kitchen to get Him some Sports Drink He was right behind Me, Smiling! This was Confirmation (to Me) that He did use the 'Tablet' with Intent to get the thing that He wanted. There is a Definite Change going on in His mind. Instead of the 'Usual Movies' that He selects, He chose one that He had not seen in more than 3 Months. 'Oliver and Company'.
Going from 'EXCELLENT' to 'SoSo' is a letdown. Though it happened last Friday, I overlooked it as Stephen's way of Rebelling about going to His mother's. Tonight, I cannot overlook it. I am Disheartened because Stephen thought it was appropriate to Urinate on the bathroom floor. He's rebelling against something that I have/am doing. Maybe it's His bedtime routine? I really have no clue, but I will figure it out and get Him on the right track once again. It could be that since His mother allows Him to Urinate wherever (on the couch or in His bed at His mother's) that He figures that it is fine to do it here.

Well, Again I was too busy to Log on this Site. Yesterday I had many things planned but ended up at the parents to finish off the Tree (Bush) that I had cut down for My Mother a little while ago. After that, I ended up Constructing one of those Steel and Fabric Gazebo's, and then I helped where I could. My Mother had Me bring Laundry over and She did that while I was Laboring around Her yard. Later I left and Picked Stephen up from His mother and then Returned to My Parents where We had a Grilled Meal. Stephen ate Pork'n'Beans with Hot-Dogs, then He ate My Pork'n'Beans. Stephen was Extreemly Thirsty and if anyone was not paying attention to their drink, He was Not and took it. My (uh-um) girlfriend has been posting under another name that indicates that she wants to return to her Ex. You would have to understand her lifes events to understand. So she has again been tracking Me because of her Distrust in Me. It's 'her' problem (in her mind) that this stems from. she wants to 'talk' to Me tomorrow afternoon on the Site.
Stephen started Hitting Himself on the Head with a Closed Fist again, Telling Me that He needs to have a B.M., So I had Him go into the Bathroom and watch His 'Donald Duck' Cartoons, and while He's in there, I turned the Cold Water on and turned the Shower on to cool the room down for Him, In case it's more Heat Related than Bowel Related.
Stephen was supposed to be sitting on the Toilet, But soon after He had Urinated, He had decided that the Cold Shower was calling and off came the clothes and in went Stephen. At least He is cooled down and in a much better mood.
We ate dinner, which was Spaghetti with Homemade Meatsauce. Stephen ate until he was full and left no extra for Me, which is alright. Now to figure out what is for Desert.
Stephen would not go past 3 bites of His desert, which was a big bowl of Fruit-Loops (knock-off's), and I had to finish it. It is starting to cool off finally.
Stephen is Finally sleeping. He was so good tonight.
24 May 2014
Here are Pictures of how Stephen's mother dresses Him, and this is an ongoing problem. It was Very Chilly last Sunday.
I am wearing a Short-Sleeved Dress-Shirt and Swim-Trunks. I did not chose My clothing as I do when I am Living with My Dad, and if I refuse to select My clothes for the day, My Dad still picks clothes that are appropiate for the weather and Style. I don't look a fool like the Pictures of how My mother dressed Me.
I finished cleaning the Bathroom and am now going to the Kitchen, then to Vacuum, then Bicycling. Upon returning the floors will be dried, then I can do something else.
Time to go to the Library and Pull the DVD 'Wretches and Jaberers'.
22 May 2014
The PLASMA place is becoming more and more dissapointing. Today I was there at 9:14~am but did not get Screened until 10:48am and was not out before 12:00pm. Almost 3 Hours! It's supposed to only take 2 hours from start to finish. So...Research: It is the 'Mother's' Fault for Autism because they do not get the Proper 'Bacteria' while the Baby is in the Womb and thus the Baby does not get the Proper Bacteria in their Gut and then the Baby suffers. If that is so, then why do they come out growing as any-other child, then Suddenly lose their abilities? I think that it may be the 'Diet' starting when they are eating 'Baby Foods' or Drinking 'Formulas' that are the Culprits. The Baby Foods and Formulas that are not 'GERBER' and are from other countries (China and those associated with that country). As China has Poisoned our Animals and sent toys that are painted with LEAD Paint for our children I would not put it past them to do something to our children.
Stephen is due Home soon, and I am ready. Tomorrow is Half-a-Day for His School, and we are going to the Zoo.
'Son-Rise', a Program that I am currently Investigating on 'YouTube' to discover if it's for Stephen or not. It works with Social Cues before anything Academic.
Dinner was a Success, and it always is when it's a Hot Breakfast. From another Parent with an ASD Child, their understanding of the 'Son-Rise' Program is as follows: It's basically the opposite of aba. In aba if your child is stiming they make him stop. With son rise of he's stiming you stim with him. That is supposed to make him feel like what he's doing is ok. Also If he's playing with toys grab some toys and play next to him doing the same thing with your toys that he is doing. All that helps him to get out of his world and share yours. That's the beginning and all I know. I can say that I have tried that though and it has helped my daughter. The program is very expensive but you can look it up on YouTube. This is what I was thinking it was and would be perfect for Stephen. I am still going to do some research to better guide Me in using it.
Yes, I will have some quick running around to do before going/taking Stephen to the Zoo tomorrow. I also have to check the weather to ensure that we are going. I want to get the Yearly Pass and the County Park Permit so we can go to the water-park as well this summer.
Stephen decided when to go to bed tonight. He's remaining there as well, Playing with His 'Papre-Jamz' Guitar. The 'Omega-3' and Multivitamin/Multimineral regiment is working. He's taking control of 'His' Being.
21 May 2014
I had to drive a total 15 miles before I found somewhere because the first 2 stops were at Bars, that were closed, the third was 5 miles away at a 'Walmarts' and when I arrived there their ATM was innoperable, so I had to spend money on Junk to get the money that I needed for the Ball-Park. So, I had to use 85 cents for candy and then I was tagged a 35 cent user fee, and I don't know if I was charged a 'Withdraw Fee'. I was 'Raped'! by the Card/Plasma Place. I am going to go to the Plasma place Site and put a few words in.
So...While at the LugNuts Baseball Stadium with My Son's school, I took note on how the children were acting and how the staff reacted to them. I was not impressed. I know now that Stephen would not have fared well because He was not Hungry when they passed out the food for lunch, and they would have given the food to another child or tossed it out. I waited until He was hungry, and then He ate it. If I were not there, Stephen would have lost out in a lunch. Then He would have acted out afterwards due to hunger, and then He would have been reprimanded for His behavior, that was due to being hungry. There were many types of 'Stimming' going on there as well, Stephen was doing the Arm Flapping, Another child was Rocking, A little girl was making noises of pain (No she was not being harmed), and for the other ~8 children, they were quiet in that area.
Dinner is on Slow cook (Low Heat). Boneless, Skinless, Chicken Breast (Cut into slices) wrapped in Aluminum Foil along with Onion, Peppers, and Spices (Garlic Powder, Garlic Salt, Onion Powder and Season-All). I will be adding fresh Tomato (Diced) near the end (Before Serving) and I will glaze it off with Honey. Always something Sweet should be added to preparing any Meat. Sides will be Mashed Potatoes and Golden Sweet Corn.
Dinner turned out great. I was worried because I tasted a small piece of the chicken and I was Unimpressed with it, But... When the Golden Sweet Corn and Mashed Potatoes were put with it, then the Taste Dynamics changed. This is something that I had been experimenting with for a while, to make a meal that pulls the best flavor from everything on the plate together. Stephen had His plate Half gone before I had the opportunity to even sit down, Then, He wanted more. He ate until He Burped. I am still Full an Hour after we ate.
Why do I always Underestimate Stephen? He's been handling things better than I have been. Like Today, His toys Batteries were dying out and it was several toys at the same time. I don't have replacements and Thought a 'Meltdown' was forthcoming, but, No. He's been really good about it this evening, switching to other toys to amuse Himself with.
20 May 2014
I could Not get on this site for a while. For whatever reason it had been blocked. I had to put in a request to the Admin's to see what was goiung on. Many of things were running through My head, Like;
1. Ms.Dawn Michele Fulcher had flagged it as innapropiate.
2. Someone else had an issue with Me or the Site.
But from what I was told was that they had to shut down the Site-Builder for maintenance.
We are having Cereal for Dinner tonight. I was going to prepare a Chicken Dish, but I really am not in the mood for cooking. We always have a 'Structured' meal every evening, and it's time for a break from that routine. It's Hot out, and something cool for dinner would be good. Am I ready for Summer? Not sure.
Tomorrow is the Yearly 'LugNuts' Baseball Game that Stephen's school attends. Looks like the weather will clear up in time for it. I have to go and try to draw out money so I can attend as well. Been having trouble with the New 'Debit' Card system that the 'Plasma' place has put into place. Finding a place that will not take any money away for Transactions has also been an issue. I tried Kmart and the ATM there wanted $2.50 for a Transaction. When it was just the Cash, you got everything, the whole amount. Now you have to be careful where you go.
Someone on the 'MyAutismTeam' Website reminds Me of Stephen's Mother, Claiming that she has 'Full Custody; but can only see her Son once a week. Stephen's mother can bleed sympathy from a stone. It's her gift...to herself.
I have put in a request to this Site to see if they can Restore the Original Site. Hopefully they can. Then I have to Transfer everything here to that one. I had the Original Site almost completely done before My LapTop failed. I love it when someone on 'myautismteam' becomes a 'smart-ass' because I give them what they want, leading them in for a while, then I drop the info on them, and typically, I never hear from them again. Here I was being 'Helpful' with their request, then they make a 'Joke' out of it, until I give them whatever information that they did not know at the time.
The person just thanked Me, but I did not read any sencerity from them. It felt as though they were saying; "Thanks for Proving me wrong.". I told the person that I was just Helping.
We are watching 'Pete's Dragon'. A Movie that Stephen has not watched in a couple of Months.
I had forgotten to mention that while I was in Western NY there was a child at the party that Had ASD but His parents were in Complete Denial. They stated that He could/would do fine in the 'Regular School/Classes'.
I saw the Signs of ASD. All of the Typical ones, Like lack of Eye-Contact, the Aggression that Pre-ludes a 'Meltdown', The 'Stimming' (Arm Flapping), and he was not just looking for attention because when He arrived, there were only a few people there and He was doing great, but when the party reached 40+ people, he started to show signs of being over-stimulated.
The poor child did not have a safety place to go to so he could calm down, his parents kept him in the mix of things and he grew ever more over-stimulated.
Some people refuse to acknowledge their child's needs.
I was even asked by others there if I thought the child had ASD, and I had to tell them that I did. Being closer relation to the parents of the child, I was awaiting for them to mention that I had an ASD child. But that never happened (at least where I could have seen).
So this young Boy (~10yo) is being made into a FNT (Forced Nero-Typical) childhood, and I am sure that his school days are rough and he gets blamed for a lot because He has 'Meltdowns' and strikes out at class-mates and the teaching staff.
Stephen chose 'SPIRIT; Stallion of the Cimmeron' to watch. It's a Cartoon type of day.
I am going to create a Site dedicated to the Character 'Paul Rawlins' from 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks' that is set after the war where they become a family and after where Paul learns more about His Bedknob.
09 May 2014
Today I awoke and after a few minutes, My eyes started Burning. I had to Rinse My eyes out before I was able to get Stephen up and ready for School. The wind today is terrible! I Replaced My Parent's Garbage Disposal, and that includes reworking the Sanitary from the New unit to the current P-Trap. That's what took the longest to achieve. I am letting My Lap-Top battery Die so I can give it a full charge tonight. It's at 95% currently (2:45p). Stephen still shows signs of 'Light-Sensitivity', even with it being Cloudy this morning. When He returns Home, He will be alright. He does Swimming today, a Favorite activity of His.
This is what my girlfriend wrote on facebook after My Mother talked to her while i was replacing the Garbage Disposal:
"Don't give a damn what anyone's opinion is! If I had a choice in the matter I'd be able to see all of my children, grandchildren, and the rest of my family, any day of the week I damn well pleased! Unfortunately, I don't have that luxury! My entire family is scattered from farthest West to farthest East and down south too! Not all in one stinkin' city!So, I take what I can get and you all can just deal with it!". She is Upset at something that My Mother said, but I am Not responding because She took things the 'Wrong-Way' as she Typically does. Everything is an 'Attack' on her person. She's no different than Stephen's Mother, Trying to Restict Me from doing things that I like, but yet she still wants to do what she likes. She is doing this because My Immediate Family is all within a State, and the Furthest is only 110 miles away.
Batter at 50% at 3:53pm.
The Battery Died at 4:00p, and I was Totally Right about the Girlfriend. So My LapTop battery lasts only 1 hour and 15 minutes, and that sucks! I wonder if it is even 'My' Battery, or if the Guy that fixed My LapTop replaced it with someone elses? I will be checking soon. If that is the case, He's going to be in Trouble on Monday, because I am going to call the Police and have them meet me at His Printing Company and He;s either going to give Me enough Money for a New Battery, or Replace My Original Battery. While replacing the Garbage Disposal today, I had a chance to talk with Him for a few minutes, and I noticed something about His Eyes.
His eyes are Usually Typical and both point in the same general area, But I had noticed today, that His eyes (Mainly His Left Eye) was pointing Opposite of His Right. What could have caused this? I don't want to jump to conclusions, so I will await answers first.
Tomorrow, after Plasma, I'm heading North. I will grab a few $1.00 Beers before I really get going. My Sister asked if I could Help with putting in Insulation and Putting up Dry-Wall in the Livingroom of Her house. She wants Me to spend the night as well. I am hoping that her Friend 'Cookie' will not be there. I am suspicious about being set up. I do Not cheat on anyone. Never have, Never will. Of course, She will be reimbursing Me for the Help and Mileage. Hopefully She has the Money before I arrive this time. What I am about to do will financially strain Me, making it impossible to pay the Bills that I need to for the end of the month.
08 May 2014
I have been busy 'Spring Cleaning' Today. Stephen participated in Special Olympics today and got a bit of a Sunburn. Track and Field Day' event at Michigan State University. I have Greased Him up with Sun-Block, and He's in T-Shirt and Shorts that He picked out. Stephen took a 2nd and a 4th, but it did not say in what events.
So I'm guessing that;
2nd was in the 20 meter dash
4th was in the Baseball Catching
Those would be safe guesses because He has poor coordination, but can run like crazy.
This year they put those Fabric Bracelets on them so if they were to get lost they would have some identification on them.
YAY STEPHEN!
I get a call from Stephen's Teacher after Stephen left school. Seems Stephen's eyes are irritated because He rubbed some Sun-Block into them after they applied it to his person. They rinsed out His eyes the best that they could, then took Him to the Nurse where they further rinsed His eyes out.
They had outlined that the parent was to do this prior to the Child going to school today, and I complied.
Sweet Basted Chicken Breast, Stuffing, and Green Beans for Dinner.
07 May 2014
Stephen's on the Bus and heading to School this morning, and I am soon going to the Plasma place then to do a little grocery shopping. Stephen went to sleep witrh little trouble, because of the Neighbors in Bldg-D. They pulled in under Stephen's Bedroom Window, Started Slamming the Car Doors and Talking like they were the only one's living here in this complex, and it was After 10:00pm! So now I have to Drive the vehicle because of the Heavy Rain this Morning. Stephen still seemed Tired this morning, even though He slept well and had 8.5 hours of Sleep. More than I did. The rain woke Me up around 6:00am, and then I just laid there listening to the Thunder until the Alarm Clock went off.
Tomorrow is Stephen's Special Olympics, and the weather is supposed to get near the 80's! I cannot believe that! But I did check the 'Weather Channel' and Confirmed it. So, Before He goes to School, I have to Apply Sun-Block and maybe some Insect Repellant. He's Extreemly Loving tonight. He ate 2 plates of Spaghetti w/Homemade Meatsauce, and then a Bowl of Fruit Cocktail. He has pretty taken over My Laptop so He can listen to His favorite Music without all of that 'Buffering'. I am going to take His 'Tablet' Device into the Shop and get it Upgraded to eliminate all of the 'Buffering' so He can Enjoy His Video's and Music.
Well, I am Dissapointed in Stephen this Evening. He thought that it was alright to Urinate on the Bathroom Floor. I had to use a Dirty Towel to clean it up. I expressed that I was not happy with what He did, and then He started Hitting His knee with a balled-up fist (Meaning 'NO' as a way of aknowledgeing that I was upset), and gave Me a look like He was Sorry. He's in the Bathroom to take a B.M., and I allow Him to watch 'YouTube' Videos of 'Donald Duck'.
This Person:
Indewrtr88 on MyAutismTeam is trying to make the Site into a 'Nitch' Society, and what I mean is that She's telling other Members to talk 'Privately', but this Site is an 'Open Forum'. I wonder what her angle is? Is she one of those from another Site that just Bickers? It is Deceitful to go behind other's backs, and it may get Ugly. Why do I attract these types of Women? This Site is also supposed to be 'Non-Judgemental' as well. I am a little Livid over this 'Deceptive' Behavior and would like to point it out, but I will wait for the 'Woman' to break one of the Rules, as I know that she will, just like the last one.
So now Indewrtr88 wants Me on her team. Devious. I did 'Like' her story, but initially did not 'Team' her. I let her make that move. Being 'Team' members she probably thinks that she can become abusive and nothing would be said. WRONG! On time is all that I need.
06 May 2014
It's been a couple of days since I had last written. I had been very busy at home cleaning and caring for Stephen. I was going to write a few letters, one to the FOC, one to the Bus Garage over Next Friday, and one to Stephen's mother (That will be a modification of the FOC letter). I have to ensure that Stephen's mother understands my take on her (lack of) treatment of Stephen while He is in her care. The fact that He always has Dark Orange Urine, That He's Always Dehydrated, That He Extreemly Rarely has a B.M. while with her, That she does not allow Him to use the 'Tablet' Device (That I had bought Him) on a regular basis, and that He refuses to use the Stairwell while with her. These all are Major concerns for His care.
I am writing a 'Professional' and 'Legal' Type of letter for the Courts, and I am really trying to be 'Clinical' with it, and just describing the events and concerns based on Stephen's needs.
After Stephen arrived from School, I Bum-Rushed Him to the Van and then we took off to the Zoo. I noticed that He's beginning to figure out His place in this World. Whenever We passed by a Small Child playing in a part where He was too large for, He stopped, watched, had a serious look, stood for a little while longer, then moved on, with a disappointed look. He greeted several small children, Like He worked at the Zoo. This is an interesting development. He even 'Peeked' into an Exhibit's window (There was nothing there) and that's a new behavior from Him as well. He again Successfully used the stairs by the Dromedary Camels and refused any involvement by Me. The Bus driver stated that He seemed agitated because He was pounding on the window by His seat. He was quiet the whole way to the Zoo, and became excited when we were near the Bridge just before the Zoo entrance. He listened to all of My directions and performed them. Overall, it was a fun time at the Zoo this afternoon. I am making dinner, and I know that He's Hungry, but He's being calm about it. Is this the Year of Stephen? Will He Grow beyond His current state of being? I sure hope so, and I will encourage Him to do so.
It looked as though Stephen was ready for Sleep, Until the Neighbors came home and started Slamming their Car Doors and Talking like no-one was around for miles. Now Stephen is up and energized! I know who the Neighbors are, they live in Bldg 'D'. Since the last little 'Bully' left, the one that was picked on all of the time has become the new 'Bully'. But He's so much a 'Chicken Shit'!
I am experiencing trouble getting Stephen to take the Omega-3 Gummies. Yesterday I mixed them in with His Fruit Snacks and He ate them, but Today, at the Zoo, I tried the same trick, and He discovered One of the Two, and Spat it out. So a New Stratigy is required.
02 May 2014
I am so thankful for the site 'MyAutismTeam' and the members. Through one member, she was able to get her child to regain speach by using 'Omega-3' suppliments and a 'Multivitamins/Multiminerals' Routine. So i used the last $20.00 to get Stephen some and will see how it starts to change His life, and if it is successful, I will find ways to get Him as much as I can to continue the success for Him. Again, Stephen had issues with opening His eyes this morning. He's fine when He comes home. It's just mornings that He experiencing this.
I hate it when people who join the 'MyAutismTeam' Site put up Pictures with Gross displays as if they were on a dating site. This is NOT about them, it's about getting Help and Providing Help for others to overcome some of the difficulties of a ASD relationship with their Child(ren) and the services that the ASD Child(ren) receive.
Stephen is due home soon, and it's going to be Milk and Chocolate-Chip cookies for an After-School Snack. I had to update My Story on the 'MyAutismTeam' Site. I felt that I had to Clairify where I was coming from and what drives Me to write things. Makes Me feel better when other's understand Me fully.
I'm having some Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies before Stephen gets here. Need to boost My energy. I have witnessed a 'Gathering' of more than 8 Muslims that have been trouble within the community where I live. They have been seen carrying in 2 bags of Fertilizer. Why would they need that? They are in an Apartment complex. The bags were Wax-Paper with a Dark Green ban across the top (which is the sign of Commercial Fertalizer) and they were in a rush to get them inside, which is unusual for them because they typically do everything at a very slow manner. I gurantee that something is going on with these people.
It looks like we are going to have a late dinner because Stephen has ate 4 Cookies and He burped. Meaning that He's Full...for now. We are having Pink Salmon with Peppers, a Vegetable, and Stuffing for Dinner.
01 May 2014
Stephen is Light Sensitive for some reason. I am leaning towards extreme headaches, so I will start giving Him Pain Medication in the mornings. I thought that maybe it was allergies, but today's weather does not support allergies. He is going to have a fun afternoon/evening because Dinner is going to be 'Breakfast' (Pancakes, Eggs, Hashbrowns and Sausages) and for Desert, He's going to have Ice-Cream and Chocolate-Chip cookies. He is going to Flip from excitement. We are getting Cold Rain and combined with wind.
This latest Political Dodging from the people that we pay to run this country on what should have been revealed in the first-place, well...It makes Me mad as hell! This latest group of people in the offices of this government should all lose their jobs and banned from ever serving the public in any manner, and those at the top should lose all privilages and services!
My Dad had to come over and give Me some gas for My vehicle, because it seems that Sunday I barely had made it back home. It's a scarry thought to think that I could have run out of gas along side of the road with Stephen in the vehicle. I bought some new pedals for My bicycle that I had put together. I found out that the Cranck Bearings for the Bike will cost me $5.00. Cheaper than I had thought. The Pedals had cost Me more.
My 'Girlfriend' is 'Trolling' My FaceBook, because she made the comment about Me talking/communicating with one of My nieces. I was cooking dinner when she called, and that was the only reason. She did not have anything else to talk to me about.
On another note; I am a member of 'MyAutismTeam' and I have had the worst of luck with 2 people. One was so defensive that she drove herself from the site, and the second, I believe was the 'Child-Beater' (Dawn Michele Fulcher) because she used 2 'Key' things that Identified her, and as soon as I looked at her 'Bio', the day after she was gone. So she was just 'Trolling'. She lied about her son's age and didn't even mention her daughter. I was a member of the site for a couple of years prior to my return.
29 April 2014
The results came in on the Smears/Samples, and they were Negative. That does not mean there is nothing wrong with Him because He has Consistantly returned to My care Dehydrated with a Headache, Amber/Orange Smelly Urine, Black Tarry and Smelly Fecal matter, and the 'Terry's Nails' Condition, and all point to a Failure of the Kidney and/or Liver. So, the next time he comes home, I will have a small cup at the ready to get a Urine Sample, and another small cup to collect a stool sample (if they are out of the norm as they were last week) and take them into the Sparrow Lab for analysis. Something IS wrong with Stephen, and since He cannot tell Me, I have to Advocate for Him.
This is how Stephen's Fingernails look, and you can see the causes. Now add the Black Fecal Matter and the Dark Urine;
"Black stool that is tarry in texture and foul smelling is often a symptom of upper gastrointestinal bleeding from the esophagus, stomach or small intestine. This is called melena." Also: "Black stools can be a symptom of a serious condition, such as esophageal varices or peptic ulcer."
Urinary tract infections and dehydration are common causes of orange urine. Other common causes include injury to urinary tract structures (kidney, bladder, ureters or urethra) or hepatitis. Cancer of the pancreas, liver, kidneys and bladder are further causes of orange urine. Depending on the cause, orange urine may occur frequently or periodically, and it may be accompanied by frequent urination that often produces only a small amount of urine, cloudy urine, foul-smelling urine, or other changes in urination.
Something is Amis with Stephen's Health, and I am too tired to see it.
I will be taking Stephen for a 2nd opinion for these 'Issues' to His health.
26 April 2014
I have told Stephen's mother that He is not to have Red-Meat, and that He was to have a lot of Fiber this weekend. She seemed to unserstand, even explaining what Red-Meats were. Stephen did not want to go, but I convinced Him that it would be alright. I had even written the instructions down in Stephen's 'Intake and B.M.' book in Red Ink.
My Neighbors across the hall are more interrested in My activities that normal. They have a guest that arrived last night and stayed. He (the Guest) tried to keep Me from returning to My apartment by engauging Me in Heavy Conversation, but I ignored him and returned to My apartment. The Son of the Woman in E-21 was extreemly curious to the point where he got close enough to My vehicle then looked in it as he walked from the rear to the front. He then reported back to the Young-Adult Male from E-21. He again reported to the Young-Adult Male when I had returned to My Apartment. The 3 of them continuously look up at My Apartment Livingroom Window. I am being kept track of by these people, for whatever reason. I chose not to go to Plasma this morning because of this, but will have to tomorrow. The Guest from Florida drives a Silver Ford Taurus car with Florida plates. Previous to this activity, the Neighbors from E-21 kept quiet. Since this Guest has been here, the Neighbors from E-21 have been louder than normal, Playing music loudly and talking loudly last night. The Guest from Florida stated to Me that he had driven 21 hours, and yet he remained awake partying all night, and was awake and ready to go this morning, and he's still awake. I am sure that I witnessed the Guest Shoot Up today.
I am determined to get video of people that do not live here dumping their trash in the Willow-Vista Community Dumpsters and the make, model, and plate of the vehicle, plus a physical description of the people that are dumping.
I have to write a couple of letters. One to the 'Protective Services' about the Lack of care that Stephen receives from Hi mother, and the Second to His mother with the same issues outlined. I will be doing it on My LapTop here.
It's a Cold 50 degrees here.

I have to start washing Stephen's face to relieve whatever is making Him keep His eyes closed. Dinner is going to be 'Pasta Sides: Chicken Flavor Broccoli', but I am going to add real chicken and extra veggies for fiber. Stephen did not have a B.M. last night, but He did have a huge one on the 21st. He will have another B.M. tonight. I have to get back to work on the 2009 Year/Event List, then after getting that one all completed, I will go do the 2007 Year/Event List.
Tomorrow, I have several letters to write in concearns of Stephen. He has a Doctor's appointment this coming Monday. Stephen has a 'Half-Day' of School tomorrow, so I can only get things done in the morning. Friday I can get back to writing My book called 'Die Wundawaffen, Die Glocke'. I was over 2 chapters through and wanted to be over 5 chapters through, but life takes me on a different path time and again.
We may be going to the Zoo tomorrow afternoon. It will provide exercise and Adventure for Stephen.
When Stephen gets settled in, I am going to also start washing His face before applying the medication.

I picked up the Kit and took the first sample. The toilet still had smears in it from last night and I was able to collect samples. I have to collect 2 more days worth before returning it to the Lab for analysis. There's not a timeline to get it collected, but as soon as I get the 3rd sample collected, I am to let that Dry and then get it into the Lab. I was told not to freeze any of the samples, but refrigeration was alright. There is not a time limit to the collection of the Smears even if it takes Stephen over a week to produce them.
I used up the $10.00 MEIJER's Gift card, plus a little extra. I am ready for a 'MELTDOWN' myself. Too much stress from the lack of Care that Stephen receives while at His mother's. I forgot about a $37.00 check that I had in My wallet since February, and I was able to cash it and use the money to get food. I have to change the Dinner Plan because of the Directions for the Stool sample Smear Kit. No Red Meats, but Well Cooked Chicken is fine, but push Vegetables, and He's able to have Pop-Corn.
We will have a change of Dinner from Meat-Loaf to a Breakfast meal for Dinner. I bought Stephen some Soft Chocolate Chip cookies instead of Ice-Cream for an evening snack. And for a Dollar, I picked Him up a small box of 'Goldfish' Crackers to snack on after school.
Stephen's mother stated while we had a phone conversation that she has not been giving Stephen any Vitamins of Iron Suppliments. So the Black Fecal Matter is not due to those avenues (If she is telling the truth).

Another Day Begins! I will be going to the local 'Parts Yard' to get My parents a Window switch for their vehicle, and then putting it in for them. I placed down Laminant Flooring for them Saturday. 5 Minutes before I have to get Stephen up and dressed for School, then I have an hour to get as much done as I can before going to the 'Parts Yard'.
Stephen is away to School. He became upset when I helped Him to go up the stairs on the Bus. Maybe He wanted to do it alone? Maybe I rushed Him? Maybe He has to have a B.M. and was in pain? I don't know. Since He does not communicate as most people do, I have to guess, and I don't have the answers yet. He was pointing at His Penis before the bus arrived so I took him to the bathroom, but He did not go. I believe that He may have to have a B.M., and that He will be very Un-cooperative today at school, but again, He did not indicate that He had to Sit on the Toilet by pointing at the seat.
Stephen does not like meals with Rice in it.
Stephen's Mother could not get over her selfishness, and that and her innability to visualize years ahead had caused this family's destruction. By the time that I left My last Engineering job/position, the House should have been paid off and then I could have been spending a lot of time with both Stephen and her. I know that earning $16.75/hr for the 2 years, plus what I had earned at the previous job for the 5 previous years would have been able to pay the house off, and then I could have taken a part-time job just to pay off the Taxes and put food on the table. But Stephen's mother had shuffled all of the Family's finances into a bank that was 50+ miles away and then used the excuse that I was poisoning her and Stephen to get away and where did the monies go? It had to be as little as $2,400.00 to over $24,000.00, and that would have been enough to pay off the house.
Time for Me to take a couple Pain-Pills and get to the 'Parts-Yard'. Chores are done!
I am thankful that FaceBook kept all of my pictures and videos for the last 6 months. It will help Me define the timeline for this site.
That helped clear up a little bit of it, but there are still large gaps missing.

I worked on the 2009 part of the 'Year/Event List' with the pictures of Stephen when He was abused by the 'Child-Beater' and where His mother did nothing for 16 and a half hours, then it took her another one and a half hours after callking Me before she got Stephen to the Hospital. They still make My stomach twist to see them.
I have done what I could with the time that I had. I still have to make what I have written more accurate. Right now I was relying off of memory and Pictures which helped jog My memories. It's still a Painful experience. Stephen hated 'SpongeBob SquarePants' for at least 3 years after the 2009 Beating by Dawn Michele Fulcher-White. I have to document that as well. I also need to get all of the Legal Documents together to make the timeline more accurate.
Stephen's Urine was dark orange and smelled, and He has a Headache. He did Not have a B.M. while with His mother (as usual), and He did Not get any Stair-Time either. I gave Stephen Pain Medication in His Ice-Cream and He's had Sports Drink as well. I cut His hair and gave Him a shave tonight. It was evident that Stephen never got any Stair Time because He was Deathly afraid to go up them. He required My help all of the way to the top floor.
I am remembering the events of 2009 'Child-Abuse' that Stephen had received. He was removed from My custody for a couple of weeks and placed under His mother's care, and when we were told that I could get Him back, she refused, and I had to call the Protective Service worker and tell her to call Stephen's mother.

12:46am, Time to go to Bed!
Awake at 7:00am and I was able to download a lot of pictures from the 'Homr Base' Computer, and those will keep me busy for a while. I have to solve a Picture Problem. Seems that I have 2 different school pictures with the same year. I know that one does belong to that date, but where does the other one fit? That's my quest today. It's the 2004 Pictures (Currently) (Shown below)
The one on the Left, Stephen seems to be older (Because of his thinner face), and He seems to be Younger on the Right (Rounder Face). They seem to be a years difference. This will solve the lack of the 2000 year School Picture. It has been a puzzle placing a few of these pictures.
I believe the one on the left may be his 2006 School Picture, and that means I will have to readjust anything from 2006 back to 2000.
Unfortunately...I don't have time this morning to fix everything. I tried, but succeeded in confusing myself.
I have to find several more pictures, and they are the 'Ugly' ones of what happened to Stephen in 2009 by the hands of Dawn Michele Fulcher, the woman I was engaged with that horibly beat Stephen and then handed Him off to His mom (Injured) where he was left to suffer for 16 and a half hours before His mother brought Him to the Hospital. What should have been done by His mother was for her to immediately call the authorities and have the Abuser arrested, instead, Stephen's mother and the 'Child-Beater' placed the blame on Me and I was put under the microscope for a week.

Here is where I write how I am feeling and anything else that may be of interest.
Firstly; let me start by saying that I LOVE and CARE for My Son, the noe 'Young-Adult' Stephen. What I mean by Care is that I want Him in My life and I ensure that He will be for as long as I can make it possible. I took care of Stephen for the First 6 Months of his life, because His mother did not want to. She did not even want to Breast Feed Him, but I demanded, even if she had to use a Breast-Pump to get the Milk.
I should have seen the deceipt at the beginning, but she had previous experience at being deveptive and was well trained. She kept it hidden until I put My foot down about the Financial situation. That tripped up all of her plans and caused her to panic, showing all of her cards.
I had thought that I had placed all of the pictures in concearn of Stephen on one or two Thumb-Drives, but that was not the case. Maybe they are on my old 'Home-Base' Computer. That I am going to check now.
I am done for the Night. I know that there is much to do and to correct. It's actually 12:45am on the 19th.
