Cold meds and blogging do not mix

So I wrote Fridays post Thursday night, and I scheduled. Or at least I thought I did. It seems I deleted the post instead of scheduling. We're blaming this on the cold meds I'm taking. So uh. . . . sorry?

What I thought I posted was a poem I did for Poem in my Pocket celebration the college I work at had. 





So yeah, I'm dyslexic. Or well, that's what they told me growing up. Being over 30, things have changed a bit, and if I was tested as a kid today, it would likely be dysgraphia or dyscalculia. My brain is just dysfunctional. I do use a non-standard font for most things, even my ebooks if it lets me change the font. It's one of the reasons Amazon books annoy me. What good is an ebook that I only have the choice of a handful of fonts and like three colors? It's why I prefer Smashwords. I can read their books using the FBReader app on my tablet, which lets me use textured backgrounds (I can even add my own), font in every color there is, and I can use Open Source Dyslexia (The Alta version because it doesn't have the damn a with a little hood thing.) as my font. Both the app and the font are free. I use the font to write and edit with as well. In fact, this blog is written in that font. At least for me it is.


Also, happy belated Mother's day to everyone. I surprised my
momma, and made her take a selfie with me without her makeup.





Yep, I look nothing like my mom.


My daughter, however, looks just like me.




And my son inherited my love of Star Wars.
