Today started normally, if any day at our house is "normal." At 6:30 AM, I came down the stairs and heard Brendan repeating lines from movies and laughing to himself. Check. Made very strong coffee and took thyroid meds. Check. Turned on the radio and got blasted with very loud music that was not appropriate for that time of day. Check. Tuned radio to News and lamented the state of the world. Check. Began cooking very unhealthy breakfast. Check. Drank largest available mug of strong coffee, black no sugar. Check.
Then things got a little weird. Ironed Brendan's dress shirt and trousers, washed last night. Check.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Brendan goes to Waggies, where he helps to make and package dog biscuits, which is usually a jeans and t-shirt kind of job.
From the Waggies website:
"Founded in November 2007, Waggies by Maggie & Friends is a nonprofit company headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. Our organization employs persons with intellectual disabilities and takes pride in celebrating their work. We are a unique business that brings employees and volunteers together for the daily operation of producing dog treats. Being part of the Waggies team empowers our employees to be successful in their work and active members of the community."
Brendan has been with Waggies for several years and enjoys working there. Today, Waggies is celebrating its Fifth anniversary today with a lunch and Brendan is acting as Master of Ceremonies for part of the festivities.
I'm sure he's going to do just great.
