Long Time
I keep getting busy, and not updating my journals... Life seems to like making me either uber busy, or uber sick. Pick one, you don't get any alternatives.
The last few weeks have seen me spending more and more time with my best friend/sister... That relationship is a long story, but she knows that I love her, and would do anything for her. She has been fighting to get her daughters back after ten years of hellish fighting with Social Services. I was so happy when she was told last week that they would be getting weekend visits, and that they would be moving back in with her at the end of this school year! You rock girl!
I managed the first week of my daughter being back at school. Those who know me, know how pissed off I have been with the Public School system for a while now. She started in a Charter School this week. It means 6am wake ups, and a uniform for her. It also means I am driving across the city to get her to and from school. So far we have been doing good. This morning was the first real hiccup, but it was more because no one heard their alarms, and thus we only had half an hour to be ready to go, as opposed to an hour. I have to say we did pretty good getting her to school on time even with that problem.
I have been seeing more doctors and specialists than I can shake a stick at for all of my medical stuff. I have realized that I have some triggers that set me back on my health. It's all good though, because even with the set backs in my health, I am still getting better. I am awake for more than a few hours at a time, I am able to get more done, and I have more energy. The one thing that this is giving me time to do is start finding out if I have Native Status through my real father. I know so very little about the man whom I am biologically linked to. I would like to know something, anything, even if it's that he was Native. If it turns out that that is a dead end, I start a geneological search for answers. He was adopted, so this is going to make this even harder to find any info out about him. I will try, because I want to know something.
I have realized that living with someone can be hard to do some days. I look to all of the good days, accept that we are two different seperate entities, and that we need our time on our own some days, and other days really need each other. It's a learning curve. One I am actually enjoying.
I guess that is really it for now. I will try to update more often.....
