Shit's all sorts of different now.

I think we're gonna dial back the Adderall by 2.5 mg. She was doing really really well and then we upped the dose on Saturday and at 2:30-3:00 every day since then she has a massive meltdown shrieking and screaming and total freak out. So we'll do 7.5 mg in the morning and if she thinks she needs it, 2.5mg at lunch from the nurse.

Poor noodle. It sucks having to regulate meds as an adult. As a kid it's gotta totally suck.

Poor Em. Is she doing ok now?

She is. She took a nap and had a better evening. She had the neighbor girls over and there was a brief moment of upsetedness, but it cooled off.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Poor Em. It sounds like you're on top of monitoring the meds and getting it right.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

As if not enough. Now I have jury duty April 14th.

I am very surprised that I've never sat on a jury. I lived in Virginia for 10 years, registered a car and voted. I got called one time, but didn't get to actually sit because the defendant copped a plea at the last second.

I've lived in DC for over two years. I own a home, pay taxes, register a car and vote, yet never been called.

I don't think that it's a lawyer thing. Hell, in DC, judges get called and seated.

OK, reading random links on NYTimes (because I"m bored in a hotel room) and got to this and am baffled by the first one.

I think this paragraph sums it up:

No one but a fellow mother can understand why I have seemingly endless hours to spend on Facebook yet also have zero time to meet an old friend for lunch, how I can say a million times that these kids are going to kill me and then be unable to part with them for the weekend when my parents offer (blessedly) to take them off my hands.

The rest is written much more...defensively. But...yeah.

ETA: Vortex, expect your summons shortly--generally in DC you get called every two years like clockwork!!

Now tagless for your comfort.

It's very strange, Vortex. I got called three times in Ohio but DH never got called once.

I don't know if it's truly random. Each state's pool is different. California uses a lot more sources for pulling names, I know.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I got called a handful of times when I was younger, but always times when I was for reals going to be out of the country. (I went to school in Canada, it covered a lot of the year.)

Not as many times as my mom got called when she was a) dead and b) Canadian.
