A Click of the Tongue

I met Rachel today after class and we went for our biweekly visit with Tim. We found him quiet but content. As we drove the country back roads listening to Dad play his music, every once in a while Tim would click his tongue. Sometimes he smiled at Rachel as he clicked, sometimes he just clicked. I found myself smiling with the knowledge that he is happy.

The treats Rachel brought were quickly devoured; a little baggie of Wheat Thins and a banana. I found a clementine in my backpack and took the peel off. When I handed it to Tim, he broke it in half and popped an entire half into his mouth at once. It was gone in no time at all. Before taking him back we swung by Wendy's for a small chocolate Frosty which disappeared almost as fast as the orange. I think Tim is immune to brain freeze.

I must apologize for not always keeping up with your blogs. (I'm trying.) My free time is fleeting. After leaving the house at 6:30 am and not returning until about 3:30 pm, there is only a little time left to check my messages and try to post a blog. There is homework every night and I work on it until my eyes are too blurry to do any more. Then I take a Benadryl and go to bed. I find my eyes are much happier in the morning if I take the Benadryl. I tried going without on Friday night and could hardly get my eyes open Saturday morning. I looked like a pumpkin.  I could have packed groceries in those bags! Anyway, it's time to go look at that nursing book again...
