I didn’t have the best day yesterday.

My oldest son is 29 but he is non-verbal and autistic. Yesterday maybe because of being cooped up, it’s been a little chilly here lately, he had a meltdown. All because I wouldn’t give him a coke.

He already had 2, and he wanted one right after the second. He started yelling, banging things in his room. When I told him to stop, he charged at me, and I pushed him back onto his bed. He calmed down after that, but I was still mad.

The kid then swept and mopped his bedroom floor. He got the mop bucket himself, then he folded his laundry and all the towels and wash cloths and dishtowels, then he did the dishes.

I gave him one after that, but he didn’t have another one for the rest of the night. My middle son made iced tea, and he drank that for the rest of the night.

Later I made dinner and then we all went for a walk. He needed that walk. I feel like sometimes he just gets bored and since he can’t really sort out his feelings he gets angry. I think a lot of people are that way, they can’t sort out their feelings so they just get mad.

So I am glad it is Friday. I have just a few hours of work, and then I can have a weekend. I am going to try to get out and get some fresh air and sunshine because the walk last night did us good, but it was already dark. I hate daylight savings time.

That is all for me today. Everyone enjoy your Friday.
