That does sound like PTSD, David. Is she getting therapy? It seems like it might be necessary if not.

She's seeing a therapist, but I told her to talk about PTSD specifically. I'll have to call her and remind her tomorrow because she literally can't remember things we talk about the previous day. She's incapable of really taking any information in right now.

This. And something like tai chi or yoga might be good. Something to focus and calm the mind for a bit.

So cc all pics to Hec?

Hey, all! I'm a wee bit tipsy tonight. Today was my Official Last Day as a full time employee. They bought donuts for the whole office in my honor, took me out to lunch and took me out for drinks after work. Then, one of my collegues took me out for a really nice dinner after drinks. I'm seriously gonna miss a lot of those people.

After reading this thread, I want that pink fur purse that Jilli linked to (OMG so cute!) and a crack mat for my cat. That last one is really for my own amusement.

Dear me. I start student teaching on MONDAY!!! What if they hate me? What if I suck? Dear me.

What if they hate me?

Not. Gonna. Happen. You're you, after all!

MiracleMan, I ordered the book, it's on the way.

Pete (and rest of frag-fest-folk). It looks like I am GO on the X-box! :) dunno all the details. He's in process of moving this week. Possibly take possession in about 2 weeks or so. I now know what the gift cards will go towards! So, is there a generic 2 month free trial thang for Xbox Live?

What amych said, Chikat. I know you will ROCK and be loved.

Awww, thanks, y'all. I'm having some serious wiggens about the whole thing right now. I mean, I've worked pretty hard for 4 years getting to this point, I've quit my job, and now that it's here, it doesn't seem quite realy and I'm scared that I made a HUGE mistake.

One part of me knows those thoughts are my doubts speaking and that it'll be okay once I actually start. But, damn, those doubts are really loud right now.

Go ChiKat! What age/subject?

Omnis, a couple of things to bear in mind.

1) Make sure the box is not modded. If there's a single mod-chip in there and you go on Xbox Live you will be banned FOREVER. And I really do mean forever. They log your ISP.

2) 2 month free trials aren't given out anymore because they were used by people to cause trouble because they didn't care if the account was banned (this was in the days when only the account was banned, not the ISP.)

3) Apparently, the full year subscription for the regular Xbox is actually quite hard to get ahold of these days. Microsoft is making it harder to join Live with an old box because they just love annoying their current customer base who hasn't yet invested several hundred bucks in the latest hardware. They are asshats. I'd start looking around for one of the subscriptions now. No, I don't think the 360 subscriptions are useable.
