Hi all.

Spent the weekend getting D settled in a new place and spending money. Now that school has started I hope she can keep busy enough to keep her mind off her R. Somethings I just think will take time.

W didn't go out there with me. She got selected for jury duty and felt she needed to get some things caught up at work before she left for a week. I was hoping to get back on Saturday evening but it was raining there so I stayed until Sunday to finish things up.

I called the house and left a message that I wouldn't be home and she called back wanting to talk, mostly about D and how she was doing, but she was pleasant.

I got home late yesterday afternoon and helped her get ready for this week. I know she's nervous.

Kitti,

W is not on any medication now. She was but decided to stop taking them last September or October when she was really sick. She doesn't want to start taking them again and won't discuss it. She says she is still going to her Counselor but I don't know when her last appointment was. She seems to use any excuse to cancel or postpone.

I think W realizes, at least a little, that she has problems, but I'm not sure to what degree. I do know that she desperately wants to feel like she's taking care of this herself. She was very reluctant to take any medication so I'm not surprised she quit. Don't like it, but not surprised.

Am I on anything? LOL I medicate quite often with my friend Jack. He has helped quite a bit and we've become rather close.

We have sporadically attended MC and I'm working toward getting us back into it, but she doesn't seem enthused right now. First, it was "Do you think we need to?" then, "Let's get D settled into a new place for school first." Now it's "Let me get this jury duty thing over with..." There may be another excuse after that, we'll see.

I guess one piece of good news is that I scored some points this weekend. I cancelled my trip when I found out W had jury duty. My boss wasn't happy, but someone has to watch the dogs and YS. (although YS doesn't think so ).

I think W was surprised when I told her I'd stay home. She thinks I always put the job first.


MAL,

I'm working on the fun thing, but still kind of busy. We were basically locked down when we first got back from the trip so we could finish the paperwork and wrap up a few things. Then I had to get D settled.

Next weekend, it's going to look at college's w/YS. There are a couple of schools that have been calling a couple times a week. They aren't as big as I was hoping for, but still, I think he's more interested in playing than in going to a bigger school and he'll definitely play at these schools.

I'm not sure who's idea these kids were....They are a lot like work.
