Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's so great, Kat!

I don't at this point but I might be able to put feelers out through my WP people.

I am really pleased that the IEP wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was pretty convinced we would have to go through Due Process and get an attorney/advocate. We still might if we move, but we may not.

The teacher asked us what we really wanted and I said for an interdistrict transfer to Burbank where she could attend a blended ASL/SEE/English class. Not going to happen.

They are also changing her eligibility to reflect that she is low-incidence Other Impairment other than Multiple Disability which implies cognitive deficiencies. This part matters a ton because it opens up a sign interpreter as possible.

Whew.

Also, I donated blood today and am now a bit tired. I didn't get a pedicure (which I really wanted). Nor did I get to return stuff to Target.

BUT my new nano came. Did you all know if you have a first Gen Apple Nano, there was a recall and you can send it and get a new one back? Even if your battery is wonky and doesn't hold a charge.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Hi all, just sticking my head in for a second to say thank you all for the good wishes! We're thrilled and exhausted and more than a little loopy. I had to have a c-section so we're still in the hospital for another night, and very much looking forward to going home tomorrow. It still seems really unreal. We have a daughter! Holy crap.

Kate, I'm glad you'll get to head home soon. Having a daughter is pretty exciting; we like it a lot!

Work has left me so mentally exhausted this week. We closed out my last meeting today with one coworker face-down on the conference room table and me plaintively saying, "My brain hurts."

People want me to be social this weekend, but at this point I want to stay at home in my pajamas and watch Invader Zim.

Beloved local NYC news anchor. He has a cameo in the Avengers, which I posted about... He wrote back!

This is true! One of the best things I've ever done, along with having a son that is.
