Alex has gone back to school for the home stretch until graduation. I think it was a really good thing that he came home; he had several appointments during the week, most notably with his counselor, and his  psychiatrist (and dentist, too!) and getting his meds adjusted. He’s felt so awful, so anxious, for a long time now and he finally started feeling better with the meds adjustment as it was time to go back. So we didn’t get to do a while lot this week, but it was still a good thing that he was here. 

I’ve taken my old bike to the Trailhouse to get the crank adjusted or fixed. There has been a creaking noise every revolution of the pedals for a while now that’s getting worse, but when I move my hells outwards it tends to stop. Annoying noise, and I don’t want to ride pigeon toed either, so hopefully they can replace the bearings (I assume that’s what it is) and it’ll be good to go. 

Wednesday we all went to Fort Wayne, Alex just wanted to go to the mall and shop around a bit for something to do. Nat and her friend came as well. Alex wanted to go to Potbelly in FW, he’s been a few times to one in WA and likes it so he thought it’s be fun for everyone to go. It’s a sub shop, basically….anyway, we hit the mall, mostly B&N for us and places like GameStop for him. A couple hours later, head home.

Friday was shoe shopping day. I’ve wanted to ditch the Sketchys I’ve been wearing because my feet hurt all the time now. Alex has worn out his shoes again, like he does, and since he needs a size 15 we went to Pilcher’s. We both found a nice pair of Brooks shoes.

Saturday, it was time for Alex to head back. But first, there was a Pokemon card pre-release even of some sort at a cards & gaming place downtown Warsaw, so I took Alex there. It was lasting longer than I thought it would so I wound up dropping him off and leaving, then picking him up later. Apparently, everyone there got some new Pokemon cards and got to trade them with others and play the battle game. He was there for a couple hours at least, said it was a really good time. We headed to Indy soon after he was done, leaving plenty of time since it was supposed to be so crowded, so of course it wasn’t and there was no traffic and we had time to kill when we got there. But he got off with no problems and Scott picked him up in Seattle. Not the most fun ever for a spring break, but it was good to have him here.
