Hey, still here. Life is just hectic. Hey badly_knitted Jean, Sorry haven't posted. Alex is back in school. We are having it rough as always. You would be surprised if I ever came on here and said things were great. Maybe someday. More therapy needed for Alex, he is in trouble at school

Ugh, doctors and medications just suck, sorry you're going through all that again =(

Things here are aboyut the same, but it's cold for September and I can't afford to light the fire for another month, which also sucks.

Hang in there - things have to get better some day, right? *hugs*

I hope things get better. Not sleeping, Alex is failing 2 classes and I had to meet with teachers today. I sometimes just don't feel like being here and I can't tell people and bring them down. I want to disappear sometimes. Sorry. Not much of a friend.

Sorry it is cold. Our weather is still warm but gets weird this time of year, will start being colder at night and early mornings, warm in the afternoon.

How are you doing? *hugs*

Some days are better than others. Today is dull and overcast, so that brings me down. I don't feel like doing much of anything, but I have writing to do so I at least have to try to get some of that done. I hate grey days.

One nice thing... My niece gets married in just over a week. The wedding will be in Greece, so i feel better about not attending. I don't own a passport and if i can't travel the 50 miles to where she lives there's no way I can fly to another country. I'm sure they'll take photos. I sent cards and gifts to my sister who will take them with her, and I'll think about them on the big day.

Other than that, everything's pretty much the same as usual.

*Huge hugs*

Hey girl, Sorry I keep disappearing. Been a month almost since I was here. I got busy with a new group on FB, had another falling out with a different friend and then made up with the other girl who like you has stood by me for a long time and like you has stood by me since Michael died

*hugs* I can only hope that Alex will do better once he settles down and adjusts. It's a big upheaval going to a new school, it can be scary and confusing. I hope the teachers are being supportive, but he's been through so much.

I avoid the news as much as possible. The situation in both our countries is not good, it worries and depresses me.

Yes, I'm still writing. Signed up for too many things so it's a bit of a struggle at the moment, but I'm doing my best to keep up.

Got to keep an eye on the weather because I have laundry out on the line, hopefully drying.

Hey Jean, going to bed, just a quick Hi again. Yeah it is so different middle school from elementary school. They except so much and you have to keep up + he is late a lot to class. Been in detention 3 times. I am worried about him. Trying to get him better psychiatric care. Hard road and difficult to get anyone to take our insurance since it is basically government insurance because it is a benefit from Michael being in the army

Our country is falling apart, run by an idiot, that's basically it.

Dyslexia just makes it so hard. Alex needs to turn his stubbornness into a virtue by putting it all into succeeding, but how can that be explained to a kid? All he knows is that he's struggling. I hope you can get better support for him.

I like hanging the washing out, makes it smell so nice and fresh, but the weather over summer has been so wet so much of the time that laundry piles up because I know I can't get it dry if I wash it. In winter it's easier because I can get things dry on the radiator, but summer is tough. At least there's only me, so there's not too much.
