Wow that’s a pretty good return on submissions Calli!
I woke up wrecked with migraine. It’s supposed to be 91 here today. I don’t want to do today. Can we start over?

Ugh, that's an ugly combination of migraine and temperature

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Some happy news here:
Mac has registered for 2 classes at a local community college. It’s been over 3 years since school was even mildly attempted.
The really good part of this good news is that he did the application, placement testing, meeting with advisors, registration…all on his own.
I just have to figure out payment/reimbursement from the 529 and it looks like I can get paid some for rent/food/utilities if he takes at least 2 classes.
He is still hoping to find part time work, but it has to be something mostly off his feet and he does not yet have office skills.

That is huge. My 33-year-old isn't functional enough to manage that. That must feel good.

Go Mac!

Always Anti-fascist!
Met my new doctor yesterday...he is cute in an if-we-were-in-an-indie-movie-he'd be my friend's Asian husband way, but not so cute as to make it hard to be hurt or sick in front of him. Less shallowly, I think I could tell him things if it came down to it, which I think is good. He was okay about the chair, but didn't try extra-hard to be, like, down about it. Although it's not great that he doesn't know how somebody in a wheelchair gets a breast screening, either. I'd say doing his own stuff is a good sign for school going forward, Msbelle. We usually have cicadas, but it's been too hot and not wet enough this year. Meara, yeah, kind of a Day here, too. Pass. Read a rumor that Big Balls got beat up by a girl, if the stakes weren't so high, I'd say film it and show it every christmas.
