What's In A Name ?

Anakah will now be GD1, Jasmine GD2 and Riley is GD3—this is the birth position not their social, loved or worshiped position because everyone knows the three are all loved to Infinity and beyond. For those of you who have not yet figured it out GD stands for Grand Daughter and for the record Jessica will be GDA( Alpha) and Summer GDB(Beta). I cannot explain why I have chosen this nomenclature but seems fun at this point in time.

It the holiday middle and GD1 came over yesterday morning. We went to Iron Man which we all enjoyed. GD1 spent time with GD2 which was a real surprise; GD2 was excited as GD1 for a reprieve from adult care. Dianne and I enjoyed an hour and a half of freedom before we collected GD1 for the movie.

It finally happened! The movie place I have written bout where management lets wheelchair users and their guest into the movie without payment. I have always felt this practice would not last for ever and sure enough there has been a change—when we presented ourselves for the movie yesterday fully expecting to have to pay for just one ticket we charged for two. On inquiry we found that the policy supposedly had changed and now just the wheelchair person gets the free admission. I just have to accept because I know there is no written precedence that I have ever found which clarifies the free admissions in the first place. There is no one to talk to no one to fight with it just is and people with disabilities just have to accept the change. Oh well, at least we did not have to pay all three admissions. Sigh, I know that I will be next, but I should use the free movie admission “card” as much as possible before they (who ever they are)decide to pull that bennie too.

Its almost noon on the middle day of the holiday—the weather has already improved with clear morning skies and promises of temps in the low 70’s with threats of thunder showers in the evening. There has been no discussion of BBQs, picnics or get togethers which is fine by me. I have graves to decorate but I doubt I will get out of town today or tomorrow. I think my dad and uncle would just as soon that I not stress the van or endanger myself or family by being on the road during a holiday weekend. Or maybe I am just talking myself out of my family responsibilities.
