furniture

Today I had a long talk with the oldest who's moving out.
He's got Asperger and ADD, and has his own perception of the world around him.

He goes to a trainingshouse, and can furnish the room himself.

Problem is... he doesn't know the cost of it all.
And he's got problems dealing with money.

I told him he should know his budget, and he should know the measurements of his room.

He doesn't really care.

Tomorrow he wants to visit one of his favorite stores, Ikea, over an hour bycicling from here.
Just to have a look.

Oh...how I wish he would get the idea (and money from his dad) to bring me the tulpan lamp.
I love it!

When I still lived at home, in the sixties, I had an orange lamp. Very modern at the time.
It was made from 59 pieces of plastic that fitted together.
It took quite some puzzling to make it into a lamp, but I liked to do it, and I loved the lamp.

Wish I could start over again...

Wish I could buy the furniture for his room.... but he needs to do it himself, so I'm stepping back, hoping for a bit of time just for me.
