Please ping!! I am a busy mom and tend to get lost~

@Totalanimefan: Lol Then you'll have to go to KS for it. XD
Yeah, it's been in the 80s here too. Still cooler than it had been so I'm thankful it's cooled.
Sorry for the late reply btw, I've just had a lot going on. *^*;

@Totalanimefan: Lol My SO thinks so too. He always has to stop there for the pizza.
Yeah, it makes a difference for sure. It started to heat up again here, not looking forward to the heat.
I normally try not too but I know it's been a few weeks. I try to do better for replies than that. *^*;

@Totalanimefan: Lol Very true! I know, I had really missed it when we got it. It's been 80 to 90 here too. I'm looking forward to it cooling down some this fall.
Lol And I'll have more time since my kiddo will be in class. We've had a lot going on...
Our grandma came down for the week. She and my sister dragged us around for shopping.
(They wouldn't let me pay for most of what I was getting. #frustrating)
But kiddos school stuff is covered. And at least I got to buy kiddo a few things he wanted because of it.
And I got to get my birthday gift! (Skyward sword <3) So I have something new to play finally. *^*

@khadijacandy: Hello! Sorry for the late reply. It's been a bit of a mess here.
Have you gotten to try the cafe there yet? (If you have, is it good?)
You have a very cute avi btw!

@Totalanimefan: Fully agree there. It's a very melancholy time of year. *^*
Lol He's looking forward to school! We had sign up today and he didn't want to leave. XD
But there's not much to do here since it's a smaller town so he's been stuck home most all summer.
Yeah. Grandma lives in the city so we only tend to see her once a year for either Thanksgiving or Christmas.
But we were lucky cause she was gonna go to the concert with mom and dad so she took off work for a few days so we'd get time with her.
Thank you! Today actually~ Oh happy late birthday! XD I wish I had known, I'd done a doodle for you! lol

@Totalanimefan: Lol That's true and I can't blame them either.
I've personally lost a lot of family during fall/winter so it's hard not to feel down.
Lol Right? He was so disappointed that he couldn't play with his friends. XD
Oh. Hopefully, it'll work out well then. It sucks when flights get all mixed up.
Yeah, it seems like that's a common thing. Life just gets too busy...
Even my mom, dad, and sister that live here in town are so busy I don't see them very often at all.
(Like my mom and stepdad I see maybe once a month?)
My sister only stops by every so often since she helps me out. *^*;
Lol Thank you. And I wouldn't have minded at all though.
Actually, if you want a doodle let me know what you want to be drawn and I'll get to it. XD

Autumn/Winter have become favorite seasons for me. I love all the seasons, but I find a comfort in Fall and Winter. My grandmother and aunt both passed in the summer, and now my cat has also passed in the summer..... :(

(My dad passed in February last year but I had a complicated relationship with him so if I'm gonna be honest I don't miss him much.... >_> )

@Totalanimefan: Yeah. Makes me miss it, honestly.
Lol A bit. We were a bit luckier since our town is so small.
It didn't seem to affect him that much since we really didn't change our routine much.
The biggest issue was when we were forced to leave our house for a bit... And he had nightmares about that. *^*;
Yeah, it would have been way worse if she was stuck somewhere uncomfortable.
Lol Alright. But if you change your mind, let me know! I enjoy scribbling. XD

@KittyBeary: Aw. I'm sorry! Summer can be the pits too so I really don't blame you.
I enjoy the fall the most weather-wise. Plus it brings back memories of my folks that I miss.
I think I just enjoy feeling melancholy, honestly. *^*;

@PoeticTorment: I do enjoy summer sometimes, when I can visit a beach and relax. ;w; I miss that.
And yeah, I enjoy that too. :3 And the holidays are a nice distraction as well.

@KittyBeary: Oh, visiting a beach would be nice. *^*
Yeah, fully agree there.

@Totalanimefan: Oh no, fully different issue! We were forced to move back in September of last year for safety reasons.

SO's sister forcibly moved into our home because she had owned a small amount of the property so couldn't have her removed. It was a really really bad deal... Like she'd call kiddo names and we noticed bruises on him that looked like handprints. I didn't have enough proof and wasn't about to stay in the same house as her and let her abuse my kid just for proof. So my little sis moved into the same house together with mom and dad in less than three days so we could stay in her smaller house. We only got home in late March after we evicted SO's sister. (And had to buy out that part of the property) So that's what the nightmare's about that.

I don't think he fully understands the pandemic, he only knows sometimes he needs to wear a mask because people are getting really sick. (And that the fun places are closed because of it)

@Totalanimefan: Yeah... Unfortunately, since I didn't have proof there wasn't much I could do at the time other than moving out as we did so I'm thankful we realized as quickly as we did. After the first day and a half, he wasn't left alone with her. With kiddo being mostly nonverbal, he isn't really able to explain what happened so I'm not sure what kind of therapy there is here for autistic children that could help with that? And since the nightmares have pretty much stopped and he's feeling safer, I'm starting to think his main issue was being afraid she'd come back and force us out of our home again so he likes locking the doors so "evil lady stay gone".
Yeah, I'm glad it's not so hard on him. He's just been bored so video games have been a huge help in his mood. XD

@Totalanimefan: I know there are therapists, I'm just not sure about what kind of therapy there is for this situation. *^*;
Our school does bring in specialists he needs so they'll probably work with his care when school starts back up too.
So do I. I let him check the doors before bed and I explained we can call the police if she shows up so he's been happy.
Lol That's true. I know it helped me. He's been enjoying it a lot instead of trashing the house out by bouncing off the walls.

@Totalanimefan: Not too much. It's been a few years since my grandmother and aunt passed. I miss them, but didn't see them often, usually just holidays. I don't know what next summer will be like though. ;w;

@PoeticTorment: It is one of my favorite things to do especially in late summer, but idk if I trust beaches right now. ;_; Maybe ones that aren't as crowded.

@KittyBeary: Oh, yeah. It has been spreading around again, hasn't it?
Better to play safe than sorry, I guess.
I'd love to visit a beach. Even when I lived down by the gulf, never got to go. XD

@Totalanimefan: I'm really not surprised honestly...
Recently it's been roblox, kameo, and disney infinity.
If he's on his switch lite, it's mario or lego world.

@Totalanimefan: Oh. Uh, Roblox in on my SO's xbox 1. Then we have an old xbox 360 the other two are on.
The disney infinity is really cool. You get to create your own world and collect figures to play as. (Like amiibos)
It keeps him busy for hours. I'm honestly impressed with it since it's an older game. *^*

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, it's really cool. Had they waited to release it a few years later, it would have been really popular.
Shame they closed out the online play. I didn't know we still had it, honestly since my SO stashed it like he did with the original xbox.
Do you miss having it? I never really played xbox so I dunno what they even have game-wise.
Oh, I don't really know. My aunt had all of it and gave it to kiddo as an early bday/christmas since he really wanted one for a while.
It came with 3 bases and a huge bag full of the figures. Plus it had a wii U starter pack that wasn't opened. *^*;;

Edit- 41 figures (4 repeats), 4 circle discs, 9 figure power-ups, and 5 power up discs. And she still has a set she's bring him later...

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, and he's still missing a ton though.
There are over 100 figures total, not including the extra discs and power-ups. *^*;
Lol That's true. So getting a console that has more favorites is the way to go for sure.

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, he knows there's more since he watches the kid youtube gamers.
(He wants Jack Skellington and Mickey Mouse bad) XD
Eh, can't say I blame him since there are some console-specific games.
I many do pc or switch. Though, I do like several wii games.
Oh, those are good options. *^*
