BEEN SOOO BUSY THIS WEEK! WHILE MK WAS W/ZACH FRI. NIGHT, WE HAD “GIRL TIME” & I TAUGHT THE GIRLS 2 SCRAPBOOK. THEY MADE ENTIRE ALBUMS THAT R DARLING! MY LIFE WAS PUT ON HOLD ALMOST 4 A WEEK, IN ORDER 2 PREPARE & TEACH. FRI. FROM 1 PM-SAT. AT 1 PM, I NEVER USED INTERNET! BUT IT’S WORTH BEING BACKED UP–CAN’T DESCRIBE HOW HAPPY THE GIRLS WERE 2 LEARN!
BEEN TYPING A TON, JUST NOT HERE. A LOT GOING ON W/FAMILY, CHURCH, ETC.
TRYING 2 PREP 2 SOON TEACH THE GIRLS IN A SCRAP. CLASS—JESS ALREADY DABBLES (IT’S SO CUTE), BUT FIA ASKED 4 A SCRAPBOOK CLASS (SHE SHARES MY EXTREME LOVE 4 STICKERS, WHICH STARTED ME SCRAPBOOKING, & LOVES 2 LOOK AT ANY SCRAPBOOK ALBUM I MAKE, SO IT’S IN HER BLOOD 2!)
HAD FUN THIS AM. TURNED ON “THE LITTLE MERMAID” SOUNDTRACK, ATE GOLDFISH (I CAN FEED MYSELF, BUT IT GETS HARDER AS TIME GOES ON), & TALKED 2 THE GIRLS. WELL, MORE LISTENED REALLY, AS SONGS SPARKED MEMORIES FROM BACKSTAGE, ON THEIR RECENT NY TRIP.
NEAT THAT THEY SIGN WELL ENOUGGH THAT I CAN JUST SIT W/THEM (MY 5-YR OLD, FIA, KNOWS “JENNY-ESE,” BUT IF MK SHOWS HER TRUE ASL, SHE CAN BE CLUELESS! LOL)…I DID NO COMP. OR TV 4 AT LEAST AN HR. STRAIGHT!
THEN, AFTER THE MUSIC ENDED, WE PLAYED A GAME! I’M EXCITED NOW, 2 DO R SCRAPBOOK CLASS! IF I GET A HANCE, I’LL POST THE PG. I MADE 4 R CLASS, 2 LEARN FROM…THE GIRLS HAVE ALL THE PIECES, WHICH WE’LL IDENTIFY, LEARN HOW 2 USE, & CREATE A SIMILAR PG., B4 MAKING THEIR OWN PREPARED ALBUMS, USING WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED…
THERE’S OFTEN QUES. ABOUT MY SIGHT…IT’S ACTUALLY A LOADED QUES., INVOLVING MANY FACTORS, & CONSTANTLY CHANGINGAS I ADAPT 2 IT, BUT, ESSENTIALLY, YES, I C U. I C ALARMINGLY WELL. NOT AT ALL “NORMAL,” BUT I C W/DOUBLE VISION. I DON’T C 2 OF U, MY PUPILS JUST DON’T LINE UP. I TEND 2 C THINGS DISTORTED…IF I’M TIRED, SICK, WEAKER, ETC., MY EYE MUSCLES R WEAKER, & IT’S TOUGHER 2 C, BUT I STILL C U.
I C AS IF I’M ON A CRUISE SHIP ALL DAY: MY EYES BOUNCE…MY LEFT EYE SEES BETTER, BUT IS WAY MORE LIGHT SENSITIVE (DAYLIGHT MAKES IT CLOSE) & REALLY WIGGLES. MY RT. EYE WIGGLES 2, BUT I TRY 2 WAIT 4 THE SPLIT SEC. THEY WIGGLE 2GETHER, OR MAKE THE IMAGE THAT I C W/MY RT. EYE, BE THE MORE DOMINANT IMAGE, SINCE IT’S STEADIER—WHICH ONLY WORKS, IF I LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD.
I DON’T HAVE MUCH HORIZONTAL EYE MOVT. (VERY LITTLE IN MY RT. EYE), & MY HEAD CAN’T TURN VERY FAR 2 THE RT., SO, OFTEN, I IDENTIFY PEOPLE BY THE SOUND OF THEIR VOICE, CLOTHES I KNOW U R WEARING, OR BY HAIR (JESS WANTS SHORT HAIR, BUT HAS OPTED 2 KEEP IT LONG, SO I CAN EASILY FIND HER–THOUGH I’VE TOLD HER THAT SHE & ZACH STAND OUT, REGARDLESS OF HAIR LENGTH, SINCE THEIR HAIR IS SO LIGHT).
ANYWAY, IT’S NOT THAT I CAN’T READ SMALL FONT, IT’S THAT IT’S EXTREMELY HARDER (ESP. IF IT’S LONG) & TAKES TONS LONGER, BECAUSE MY EYES JUMP ALL OVER, SO I HAVE 2 KEEP FINDING MY PLACE…W/A LARGER LETTER, MY EYES JUMP, & I STAY SORTA’ IN PLACE. AFTER READING A FEW LETTERS, I GUESS THE WORD (AS MOST DO WHEN I FINGERSPELL, I GUESS THE WORD I’M READING).
TYPING CAN BE ROUGH, AS I’VE NEEDED 2 MEMORIZE THE KEYBOARD SOMEWHAT, & REALLY CONCENTRATE ON THE KEYS, SINCE I CAN’T GLANCE AT A KEY.
HOWEVER, UNLESS IT IS LARGE&/OR CLOSE, OFTEN I CAN’T C FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, UNLESS I KNOW U WELL ENOUGH 4 MY VISUAL MEMORY 2 “FILL IN” A GUESSED FACIAL EXPRESSION. IF I’M AT THE LAST PEW, IN THE CHAPEL AT CHURCH, I CAN C MY PEW. FARTHER AHEAD, THE PULPIT, I C SOME1 IS THERE. IF I KNOW THEM, CHANCES R THAT I CAN IDENTIFY THEM BY THEIR VOICE, CLOTHES, &/OR HAIR. THEN, AMAZING THINGS CAN HAPPEN…MY VISUAL MEMORY RECALLS THEM, & I CAN BE “TRICKED” 2 C THEM!
OBVIOUSLY, THIS VISUAL MEMORY HELPS ME ALSO READ, NAVIGATE THE INTERNET, & FILL IN ANY GAPS W/THINGS THAT I C UP CLOSE. THIS MAKES FAMILY FASTER 2 C, BECAUSE OF VISUAL MEMORY…ALSO EXPLAINS WHY I COULD C SOMETHING A MILLION TIMES IN A CROWD, BUT HAVE NO CLUE IT’S THERE, IF I HAVEN’T SEEN IT CLOSE, & MADE A VISUAL MEMORY OF IT.
THE ONLY TIME I”M UNSURE WHAT I C, DEPENDS ON LIGHTING…LIKE A CAMERA, IF LIGHT IS BEHIND U, U GET DARK. MORE LIGHT, MAKES U DARKER. I C U THERE–U R JUST DARK!
