Beth and I spent the day running errands on Friday. She had to get some follow up lab work done, we went to DSW for shoes and socks, Big Lots for an ottoman for her room, dropped some things off at Goodwill, and we walked around the mall.
We weren't on a timeline, we weren't rushed, it was just a nice, slow-paced afternoon.
She does so well at the doctor. This was before she had the blood draw - look at that smile! She always talks to the phlebotomist, she can be so chatty in there! I can hear her tell them about her job... how her mom doesn't like needles so she goes in for her blood draw by herself and that she doesn't mind getting them... Miss Chatty Cathy!
We left there and headed to DSW. I needed some socks and while we were there I asked her if she wanted to buy another pair of shoes. She loves the shoes she has so she bought a pair just like them. Quick and easy!
While we were at the mall we stopped at Auntie Anne's, we hadn't been there in such a long time. We used to go a lot, in fact she used to work there! Not long after graduating she used to hand out samples. She was there a few months then moved on to something else, I don't remember what. She was in a job training program that found her jobs throughout the community. That's how she ended up folding boxes at Little Caesars. I think that's been her favorite job so far. I don't have any pictures of her working at Auntie Anne's, but here she is at LC. She worked there 5 years and used to fold upwards of 1000 boxes during her weekend shift. Some of you might remember when she worked there.
And this was Friday -
More walking, then a little break. I was really proud of her for walking the mall. We didn't do the whole thing but she did a good amount. Even went into a couple stores to look around. She was on her feet for quite a while.
We got the lab results today and her thyroid levels are 'back to normal.' Thank you Lord! I believe the changes we're making are helping a lot.

I just love to read about Beth and all she is doing! I have been reading your blog for a long time. I have a 22 year old granddaughter who has down syndrome. Beth reminds me so much of her. I take her to the mall to walk. It is such a great place to get exercise. Of course we always have to stop at the cookie factory for her favorite chocolate chip cookies.
Y'all had a fun day!! New shoes, lunch out, and shopping the mall... who could ask for anything more?!!
Hello! So glad Beth's thyroid is back to normal. Sounds like a great time, and I absolutely love Auntie Anne's!!!! Have a nice evening and Happy Fall!
This is a happy post. Happy she is doing good.

Hello! I always love hearing about your adventures with Beth! She is such a beautiful young woman! That's wonderful that needles don't bother her... I'm not excited at all to get a blood draw. Don't you just love those days when all you have to do is, whatever you want?! Beth looked very content doing just that...cute post! Hugs, Barb
Sounds like a really nice afternoon together doing fun things and enjoying special times as Mother and Daughter. What a blessing!! Thank you for sharing Beth with us!! Such a joy!!
