I need to start doing this on a more regular basis. My thought for today is this.. I woke up late, as is usual. Had another fight with the cable company. Then I went to do an ADHD evaluation through the clinic. It was this cute little 7 year old who was bubbly but probably has a learning disability. But, before I started the evaluation my supervisor at the clinic who also happens to be my chair of my dissertation committee told me she had to tell me something. Well, with everything that's been happening in my life lately (more on that later when I'm not headed into bed for a nap) when a professor tells me they have to tell me something, my anxiety rate hits the roof. So I, being the loud and obnoxious person, told her that she had caused this major anxiety spike for me. So, all she had to do was hold up her hand. Her wedding band was gone. She and her partner decided to call it quits.
My professor has a biological son the was concieved with the help of a gay friend (sperm donor). This kid is amazing. His name is Avery, and he is the brightest most verbal four year old I know. My professor and her partner just bought a house together. Like they moved in two weeks ago. I go to church with them. I sing in the church choir with my professor. We play duets together on our respective instruments. This just blew me away. I knew they were having some problems, but I had no idea that it was this extreme. For the third day in a row, my world has turned so I view it in a different angle. There's only so much of that a person can take before they decide to stay in bed all day and cry.
