Organizing my Life

[BeingMe]

Your poor son, Phoenix! I hope a diagnosis is made soon, and he can get on with his life. I think it's worse when it's our children who are ill ... rather me, than one of my kids.

At this point, I have an appt for an MRI at the end of the month, so my doc can see if the swelling has gone down. I also have an appt with a neurologist in Victoria (our local one is on a year-long sabbatical) in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, this is an isolated incident.

I started school last week, and that is keeping my mind off negative things (unless you classify homework as negative). My courses all involve a lot of reading and writing ... Liberal Studies, English, and Creative Writing. Thankfully, next semester I am doing a science subject, Geology, so that will give my brain a rest from some of the creative stuff. Although, I will also be doing Poetry, and Lib. Studies. I am enjoying it, though, and am enjoying all the classes, so far.

I am not allowed to drive until I am seizure free for 6 months, so my S21 has been driving me and D15 to school, and picking me up after. D15 usually walks home. But, on Friday, I caught the bus home. I haven't been on a bus in years, and it was such a strange experience. I know, for many people, that is their normal form of transport, but I am so used to just jumping into the car, and going where I want. I rather liked sitting at the busstop, reading some of my next assignment, and then watching the scenery as we drove along. It's only a 20 minute drive, so really very easy. The walk home from the busstop was about 5 minutes. A little adventure, for me. I guess, after 6 months, I will be thoroughly sick of the bus, but for now, I am happy to use it.

H is home for now. There is a bit of a drama at work ... the company he works for has been sold to a big organization, and he is not happy about that. Anyway, they are trying to convince him to stay, and he will ... for now. He doesn't like working for big organizations, and the company assets are the people who work for them, so they really want to keep as many of their staff on board as possible.

We bought a little puppy, and that is keeping us busy. It's a mix shi-tzu/lasa apso (spelling must be really off here). He is really cute ... black and white and D15 has named him, Oreo. S21's husky is not impressed, and looks very worried.

Things seem to be good with us. We actually ML the other night! I was rather stunned! I didn't know how to react.

Anyway, that's muh journalling for now. I have the homework to do.
