I'm hanging in there Al, thanks for asking.

Yes, the joint pain is horrible but I'm managing it...kind of. I find that caffeine helps moderately.

Saw the C yesterday. She started on the 'affirmations' and 'I like myself because I am...' path. Ick! I can't do that. It seems incredibly self-indulgent and egocentric to me. Of course, let's face it, therapy is self-indulgent in itself. I guess I just need to get over that but I'm having a hard time with that.

Last night was the 'meet the teacher' night at Marc's school. I finally got a sign in for the grading website. Gee, surprise, surprise....only the 3rd week of school and he has failed to turn in 2/3 of his assignments. He's already failing 2 of his classes because of it. So, this morning, his DS and his TV were taken out. The computer is already password protected and he has no clue what it is. I don't know what else to do. If he won't write his assignments down and won't bring home his books (the ones that are permitted to come home) then there really isn't much I can do. The high school doesn't have collaborative teachers like the middle school did so he's in regular classes with minimal assistance. Obviously I'm going to have to get together with his counselor and see what can be done. Barely 3 weeks into school and already this far behind is a HUGE problem.
