That was pathetic. .. and now for something completely different.

I have been working on a list of goals in my head for a while. I am going to share these with therapist when I go next week.

It goes without saying that goal 1 is getting car stuff done by Friday. I may take tomorrow off. I just need the time.

And then...

1. finish getting all shelves and pictures hung in new apartment. Keep up with regular cleaning so s and I have an uncluttered and calming home.

2. Maklocal friends. I have 1 woman locally who has saved me over the last 2 years.. I have been chatting with a baseball mom and made plans to Take kids bowling on Sunday. Had a random sit down chat with woman from my Starbucks yesterday. I have just been trying to appear more open and friendly. Also continue to develop friendship with xw1. has nothing to do with h and everything to do with mutual love of her kids (my ss's)

3. Get back to healthy routine of exercising and eating right and lose weight gained since BD)

4.continue to explore sources of assistance and funding for s (leg braces, after care, community integration etc)

5. Make time to do something for myself every once in a while starting with booking night at respite cottage.

6. Work on relationship with mom. We have gotten closer since BD but I have discovered that I hold onto a lot of anger from the past. She is coming to stay with me for summer.

Ok. Those are the biggies. I will start here.
