It took more than one evening (and it took some doing to make him stop working for the night), but Rerun finished his new LEGO set!

It now has an honored spot on top of his new dresser (which is Ane’s old dresser).

It really is a cute set – and it rolls and the smokestacks go up and down!  Rerun just loves it.

You know us, we’re a sucker for scientific research.  This time, it was Rerun and a study on ADHD.  And he would get to earn some money for this one!  All sounded promising until the lead doctor said, “So, he needs to be unmedicated for this study… and for his meds, that means for 2 days beforehand…”

Yeah, we don’t get paid enough for that.  But we did it anyway (and boy, was it a wake-up call on what Rerun’s behaviors look like off medication), and then Rerun got to sit down for his first-ever EEG.

Rerun was fascinated with the EEG.  When the lead researcher told him to blink his eyes, and then showed him where it made the lines spike on the readout, he was enthralled.  He worked very hard (it was a few hours of work between the EEG and then some other academic-based testing), and earned that money.

We then got in the car (where I popped a pill in his mouth because I was DONE with this), and we went straight to the LEGO Store.  Rerun knew exactly what he was buying.

Look at that grin.  He’s been wanting this set since it came out, and he finally had enough money!

Now, time to build!

Well, the Webmaster is on the job hunt again.  To make a very long and torturous story short, the company he had been with for nearly 4 years has undergone a lot of changes (both in personnel and company culture) and between that and a new, inexperienced manager, he was let go last Friday.

But because he knew this was likely to happen, he had some interviews already lined up.

None of that makes it better, of course, but at least it didn’t fall from completely out of the blue.  We do, of course, appreciate your thoughts and prayers as the Webmaster begins the job hunt in earnest once again.

Even in the middle of home improvements, we have to take a break for fun!  Even if this was a really silly movie.  Both Tad and Rerun were dying to see “Angry Birds 2” and Danny came along with us!

They had a good time!  And the movie wasn’t terrible for adults, either – so I guess I got lucky!
