San Diego graduated from high school.

Finally.

I was thinking after eight years maybe they really were just sick of him and said oh just let him go.

My boyfriend said Grandma Spider helped him get his grades up, though. She was hired as the guidance counselor last year through a pilot project after 5 years in jail for having had a relationship with a student.

He's planning to work for awhile and just hang out



About Me

I came to Minneapolis from southern California this May to help my 88-year-old mother care for my 86-year-old father. He fell last November, and then declined cognitively for a month as his bones healed at a rehab facility under quarantine. He hasn't undeclined. Before retiring in the 1990s, he was a theater critic, & still seems to have some of his self-confidence and wit alongside vascular dementia, Parkinsonisms, incontinence and real trouble walking. Given his otherwise-ok health, he might still have some tolerable years ahead, though with new parameters. My mom's a novelist. She seems made of iron.
