Today is my last day of work. I turn 65 years old tomorrow. We are off tomorrow and Monday for Memorial Day, so today it is over today. I have worked ever since I was 12 years old either full-time or part-time while I was in school. I started my dog training business a while back and it is going better than I want doing this job and the dog training. So, after today it is laying by the pool and playing with dogs. I can not wait!!!!!!!!!! I will finally get to go to a bunch of home games this fall.

Congrats. Being able to retire at 65 is good. I'll probably work until I'm 70

Our autistic daughter graduated from high school last night. Such a hard road for her but we are so proud. She was discouraged for almost her entire school career, but never gave up and always tried her best. She has an actual diploma, not a certificate of completion.

But don't get me started about the people in attendance. Oh my gosh, I have never seen people dress and act so terribly at something that should be important. People getting up to leave as soon as their kid's name was called. Maybe I am just old, but that seems pretty disrespectful to the rest of the class and their families.

My son is autistic and graduated from high school. He also graduated from Chatt st. He had a rough time in elementary and middle school. Your daughter will be fine.
