Hanging in

I know it would be good for me to blog more often, but I just don't always have the heart for it. I'm mostly doing "ok", with the occasional great and the occasional bad trigger. This week's was our old social worker spending the afternoon at the school. I've asked to be notified when she's coming in future and got permission to go home any time I need to.

I'm still waiting to hear back from the board office about a request for a week of unpaid leave in Nov to go to Florida with a few of the girls. They've changed their policy and don't want to approve it. I see my Dr in the morning, so if I still haven't heard anything, I'm going to see if he'll write me a note to see if that will help.

I think one of the biggest obstacles for me continues to be lack of consistent sleep. The other is my ongoing struggles with eating respectfully. I know I'm making some progress, but it seems so slow and I'm discouraged. I'm also getting quite anxious about my court date coming up later in the month. Hopefully I'll be able to take someone along for moral support.

My friend Gina became a grandparent for the first time this week. I'm thrilled for her. My family continues to be my rock!

Love, elly
