Writing the letter is therapeutic. Mailing the letter is unkind.
We leave for DR today! DH is still grouchy as hell, but we are both pretending he wants to go. Hopefully the travel day there will not be super stressful and we can get there and relax.
DD’s school is having a big change that makes me sad. At least 3 of the kids in her class and a couple who would be in her class (moving up age wise into elementary) are leaving to go to public schools this fall. DD is handling it really well! I would have thought her anxiety would make this extra hard. Thankfully none of them are the ones she is really close to, but 2 of them are are the ones I don’t hear about much which means they are a stable influence so even if DD doesn’t know she will miss them, *I* will! The third is the one who told DD that her dad says he hates hearing DD’s singing voice. She’s also the one DD got in trouble for calling a bitch. So I won’t miss her presence lol, but I hope all these kids have an easy adjustment to public schools. I hope the new school year settles in well also. But first, VACATION!!!
A couple of randoms for me. 1. Should we have a crazy schedule thread maybe .
2. A co-worker recently came out as non binary gender and asked us to call her they- after that another co-worker came out as well. I am a little thrown as they has worked here two years, I think now and never said anything before, and I am also scared that I will slip and say the wrong thing. I know I can immediately apologize if I catch it. I am just not used to it, and it is a habit to use other pronouns, so I am scared the habit with take over. But at least, I will make it known it is not intentional or repeated, I just know it's going to happen. Luckily, I don't work with they daily, so less of a chance of slipping up. I just had to correct my pronouns twice in this paragraph, so I know it's going to happen because that is just how I have written for 20 years. I don't mean to make this about myself, I just don't want to repeatedly mess up. Actually I just saw another pronoun error....
waverly - I would mess up constantly because “they” is a super awkward construct from a grammatical perspective. It’s like that dang Halsey song “Him and I” - I edit it when I sing aloud in the car.
DS is napping. I think vaca really knocked the kids out. I’m less tired as we were home all day Sunday instead of just Sunday evening. They remain a train wreck.
Good news for DD - new referrals for biofeedback - hoping we can cut her autonomic episodes. Saw pain management this morning and he thinks it will help. PT tomorrow, dermatologist this afternoon, orthodontist Thursday — drowning in appointments. So what’s one more??
