Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sheryl you are not a failure as a mom-- you are doing everything you can for your son and I hope that the inpatient time is good for him and once he is out that there will be a good follow up plan and you'll find a good therapist that will help him.
Hec that is a lot but it's so amazing to see all the progress.
The kitten is growing on me.
I actually spent a few days with Mom. Tomorrow she's driving to VA to spend the weekend and see E. Monday he gets his braces off (well he has top teeth only braces) then Tues they drive back to NC, Wed he is going to summer camp here. M and I are driving to Mom's Tuesday to get some brief E time and also see him off to camp on Wed. Mom's knees are really bothering her and the camp is going to let family walk campers to their cabins & meet tehir counselors this year (they didn't last year). So M & I are going to do that since Mom can't make the walk. M is super excited.
We will probably get Mexican so E can see the owner of the restaurant that likes him and always asks after, play some Monopoly or Catan, then have breakfast in the morning at Mom's regular place so E can see the other people who always ask after him.
Then next Thursday is my birthday. Next Wed is my appointment with the neurologist to go over my FCE results. The case worker will be apart of that. She called me and verified the work phone numbre (she had it wrong) bc she was trying to find out about light duty options. So that's all going well. I assume I'll be back to work very very soon.
Tomorrow I have an ultrasound follow up from my mammogram.
I don't know much, but Gary says the hospital has spoken with Mr. S's psychiatrist and they're trying to figure out adjustments to his meds. Also, Gary got a phone call from Mr. S who told him to tell his stuffed animals that he misses them. (and to tell me he loves me)

Awww!
Oh, that is lovely, Sheryl. He feels your love and knows you are trying to help him navigate this life.
Hanging in there as best as I can.
Try and get some rest even though I suspect the parental instincts are making that kinda rough.
What a sweet call from Mr S. I’m glad Gary shared that and then you shared it with us.
My Uncle Jimmy is in town for tonight and tomorrow until early evening.
This was motivation to massively clean all rooms but the room of shame and who the hell knows what’s in there.
That door stayed closed when he asked for a tour. But he was complimentary of the rest of the house.
My Boy came over for dinner (I cooked) and everyone declared it good and themselves stuffed. Success.
I really need to keep my house this clean, including getting all of the Things out of the office and letting it actually be an office again.
Small goals.
I’m always so much happier when my house is near and clean but somehow that’s not enough for me to keep it that way. I mean, I’m way better about it than I used to be, but…
Making progress on the cleaning all the things front here too. The dust and grime level after being closed all winter is considerable. DH vacuumed the entire bedroom, including ceiling and walls so I could breathe better! The rest of the house is a work in progress.
Driving to Albany to fly him back to Florida in a couple hours. It is 2 hours each way, but direct flight and JetBlue, so it is happening. Also got him exit row seating because he deserves all good things.
Same, meara.
ltc’s last day of school is tomorrow. I’m not ready.

Indeed he does!
We have o'er leapt the first hurdle on the Steeplechase of today. Actually I'd say we'd gotten over two hazards: boxed up what's going today and readied the furniture that's moving AND I received the new mattresses at the new house.
The mattress delivery was fantastic! Everybody is doing tracking now and texting you on exact arrivals. It's great. Movers get here in half an hour and they haul shit over. Then...
Cable guy hooks up the new house between 3:30 and 5:30, whilst JZ goes to buy the linoleum for The Tile Guy who is arriving tomorrow morning at 9am.
So my last task tonight will be to clean out my nerdhole so it gets new lino too. Which will require hauling my computer, desk and chair over to the new house where (I hope!) the interpipes are up and running freely.
You are being way more productive in your move than I am at work. Just sayin'
I *am* going to see Hamlet in July! I'm taking a redeye Friday night, seeing the Saturday matinee with my niece and coming home Sunday, which is RIDICULOUS and that, frankly, is part of the appeal.
