Quick update
Ok, short short version.
1. Support conference went okay; amount awarded was ridiculous, I'm waiting on the appeal notice.
2. I *think* she's shaping up because I'm setting solid rules, but I feel like shit when I don't give in and the tantrum is something small like, "I want a bedtime story" after she's lost it or "Mommy, I want you to hug me!" mid-tantrum. I know if I give in to those little requests, it'll set the groundwork for other bigger requests, so I'm trying to stay firm. Dad's backing me up, so that is nice. Hopefully we'll get her straightened out soon! She can be such a doll when she's in the right sort of mood. I can't help but think that if I wasn't such a miserable person, she'd be sooo much nicer and happier...
3. My job is driving me nuts. I am totally lost as to what we need to be doing and because my LD is going psycho lately, my supervisor giving me assloads of stuff to read and expecting me to get it is just not going to work. I love my coworkers. I love my work environment. I get along famously with people in the department that my supervisor can't stand. All in all, it's a great scenerio. I'm just burdoned with the knowledge that I'm expected to know a bunch of shit I don't know and have never worked with and I don't learn by reading - I learn by doing. Visual and physical cues!! I wish I could get her to get that without just pissing her off because she realizes she hired a moron.
4. My grandfather is dying. No details here, just...well, for my friends, just understand that this is huge to me. I think I would take losing my own brother better.
5. I generally feel overwhelmed and sad. Meds are helping (which is annoying) and I'm starting back into therapy next week. Wish me luck - personally, I don't think I can be fixed.
6. I gotta stop grinding the teeth in my sleep. My head hurts.
7. Peach vodka and OJ in the right porportions makes a decent fuzzy navel. I think. I don't really like peach much, but flavored vodka always works well with something! Cherry Puckers and regular vodka are also good. And Baja Rose is NOT Pepto Bismol Tequila.
8. I'm hungry.
9. Flor...you have every reason to be.
