I hope to have a good update soon.
I hope to have a good update soon, or at least a really eventful one.
Also, I hope some of you are getting packages.
In the meantime, "Not Dead Yet" remains the summary.
But, because "The Recession is over" makes too many people laugh, here's an interesting site I found:

It's not just a job search engine, it's a way to reap some of the good ( Read more... ) -
I decided something tonight (and it relates to fibromyalgia)
I decided something tonight.
I've never considered myself to have fibromyalgia. This is largely because of things like the fact that my....symptomology, let's say....can be otherwise explained, whereas the conditions inherent within fibro tend to eventually be attributed to fibro because they are undeniable, but there is no other explanation. But ( Read more... ) -
A new article, and a hint of what's going on.
Finally have Part 1 of a new article up..."Navigating some tricky territory in autism diagnosis"...give it a click, will you? Pretty please?!
Much to write, including thank-yous. Would LOVE to be able to cross "fight about getting myself acknowledged as disabled" and "fight to get Jamie accurately diagnosed so we can get some help for HIM with his ( Read more... ) -
Another random "My kid is smart" blip
He didn't remember...or somewhat more likely, couldn't call up in a more processing sense, the names of "Miss Mary Mack" or "Patty Cake", yesterday, but that's what he felt like doing with me, at a certain point in time. (He hasn't gotten the hang of what to do with his hands, he just holds them out for me to clap against -- he probably needs to ( Read more... ) -
Happy New Year!
There are, as usual, a number of real updates that need to be made. With the computer having issues before the holidays, and then all of us being sick through the holidays....and we still are....for the moment I'm just going to have to settle for wishing you a very happy New Year (if you celebrate this particular version thereof), with much fun, ( Read more... ) -
Imagination, knowledge, conversational skills...
A year ago, the following conversation by no means would have been possible:
Jamie: 5-4-3-2-1-BLAST OFF! ::sound effect, accompanied by him moving his hands in the air:: Da rocket ship!
Me: Jamie, where's the rocket ship going?
::Jamie points up::
Me: Is the rocket going up?
Jamie: Up in da sky, to outer space.
Me: What will the people in the ( Read more... ) -
Updates
I'll start this update with Sunday evening, since it was kind of a stand-out occasion. Keainid had off, so we were all going to go to that GLBT & Friends mass as a family, so we could help them with their Holiday Angels thing afterward, but Jamie was also a bit "off" again, so Keainid ended up just dropping me off there for it, so at least I'd get ( Read more... ) -
Whew!
Today was actually a pretty productive day. In the morning, I snuck in a shave and a shower -- yay for being clean! -- before coming downstairs. After reuniting with Jamie, I tracked down our copy of the lease, which had gone astray during a file cabinet switch-over, so Keainid wouldn't have to deal with trying to get Albina to zerox their copy ( Read more... ) -
Lots of stuff
I'm still behind, and moreover behind again, on updates (along with everything else). The short version is that the switch in Jamie's brain finally flicked after about a week of really bad sensory/autistic times, but just in time for him being capable of feeling good and happily learning and playing and being his normal-for-him self, he got a ( Read more... ) -
Thanksgiving
I am a little late with posting this, since it's the evening before Thanksgiving day, already, for most of you. But here's a really cute, feel-good holiday craft that I first did when teaching a bunch of special-needs kids... CLICK ME DESPITE THE TIMING, AND LOOK AT THE TOP OF MY ARCHIVE!
Since that's late, I'm going to get slightly ahead with ( Read more... )
