Fun fact, the whole restless leg thing is where we get the term "kicking the habit".
Good news about the job, Lil. There was an article about sign twirlers a few months ago. There are some good ones who go independent and are booked months in advance and make pretty serious change, more than most FULL-TIME jobs. So tell your Difficult Child to get out there and DANCE!

Well, he went to work again today.
Got up and the first words out of his mouth were that his arms hurt.
My son has the upper body strength of a 90 year old woman. Really.
But he called, since the woman yesterday didn't seem to know if he was supposed to work today or not and when he finally got thru at 10:30 they told him, yes, 11 to 5 is the shift, no matter what day it is. He did not take it well. Still, he tossed on clothes, I grabbed my keys and we went. Ran by Dollar General first for stronger sunscreen (he burned with a #30 - because he's albino white from lack of light exposure, regardless of his dark hair and eyes - so got him a #50) and sunglasses, since he complained his eyes hurt, and some cereal bars, since he skipped breakfast, and he was maybe 15 minutes late. At least he has a good excuse.
I will not be surprised if he quits. We will see. He did NOT want to go, but acknowledged he had to, because he needs the money.
It's under 50 degrees right now and he forgot his jacket - he's probably freezing. He also has that in common with a 90 year old woman.
My son is skinny like you...God knows how because he eats NOTHING healthy. No vegetables at all if he can help it. Always been that way. Last time I took him to the doctor he weighed about 150...but that was fully clothed with his shoes on, my guess would be closer to 140. He's about 6'1". He got that from his biodad's side of the family...they're all tall skinny people. Pity that wasn't all he got from them.
I've always said our family looked like Jabber and I ate up all the food and didn't let him have any. lol We're both big people.
I can see at least two ways to think about this.Should I contact the landlord?
Who could not understand that?I think maybe I want an end in sight.
I'm wondering, and Jabber is in bed and I know Honey, we haven't talked, I'm just thinking, maybe we should tell him, let's call and ask and set a date if they are ready, say, in 3-4 weeks, for him to move. Gives him more time, granted much longer than planned, but us too, as we promised to get him furniture and stuff and we need money too for that.
This infuriated me, in absentia.I said "Please dont buy alcohol". He looked at me and said "Why did you even need to say that?"
Sorry Honey, but between him and the shoulder I dont know how much more I can take. Is he ready to move out right now? No, but thats because he spend almost a month and a half screwing off instead of finding work.
