So....my mum and I saw "Karate Kid" yesterday…subtitles were AWFUL! They were a transparent white that one could barely see. I missed half of them because they were white on white background. The musical notes and "(music playing)" where in a solid yellow, as well as other unimportant notes. Why is it that the least important parts of the movie were the easiest captions to see? I hope not ALL captioned films are like this. I had quite the awful experience and hope that the next film I see is nothing like this one. I feel sorry for Deaf people if this is the only stuff that people see/the "best" that OC gets.....it's more of a challenge for Deaf people to see. *insert sad face here*
But anywho, yesterday started week two of summer. Already it has been interesting – again. Today, a gal fell off one of the horses, getting off. I had to catch at least one other person. It is AMAZING how many times in a row one must say something in order for kids to remember. Kids just DON'T listen. Grumble, grumble, grumble. I want them to be safe. I want them to have fun. But that can't happen if they don't listen and - knowingly or unknowingly - do things that are not safe.
Today, I had work in the morning, a massage appointment thereafter, and then a chiro appt following that. I then worked out, came home to settle some "affairs" and topped the day with dinner - I didn't get a lunch, and only had a minimal amount of a morning tea. Yesterday was as busy, I'm sure....I just don't remember. My days, starting since spring term, have just blend together. I don't know what I did when. My sense of time is going out the window.
Well, think that is about all the "excitement" for now. Things will happen, and I'll try to write them down, but no promises. We'll see where tomorrow takes me. I have a list of things to do, none of which are getting done fast, and this saddens me most. But, we'll see what happens. Hopefully things will work out for the best. Although, I must say, that one of the support counselors today made me laugh so hard I was tearing up, doubling over with laughter, and I couldn't breathe.....ah. Thanks Audrey. Smile.
