Thank you!
Feb. 14th, 2012 10:46 amThank you to those who sent me a glass heart. It was a lovely thing to find in my inbox this morning!
I got a homemade Valentine's day card from my sweetie, too. *romantic sigh* When he's not overcome with anxiety, he can be so incredibly romantic. He even compared our relationship to an onion! :-D It is definitely going with my keepsakes.
On the downside, I think Geoff's come down with a sudden case of plantar fasciitis. Maybe. The painful spot isn't where it ought to be for that, but we can't think of anything else. What with his left foot and my right hip, we're now quite the gimpy pair. At least we are still in step with each other.
And on the mixed side, the results of that form from Page's school came back, and according to the test, he's very likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. And certainly has ODD. So, I'll be dropping the form off at his doctor's today and we'll talk about what to do soon. I'm glad about that because it will mean he'll be eligible to get an IEP, but... If staying on the diet doesn't do it, we're going to have to think about drugs, and, God, I don't want to go there. I have such a huge mistrust of pharmaceuticals and their (unknown) long-term consequences. Especially for what might just be boredom mixed with a stubborn personality rather than a chemical imbalance. I know I was a little shit as a kid, too. (I also know I was not healthy, which was a big part of my being a little shit. *sigh*)
Anyway, I'd best get to doing my homework. Class is in a couple of hours, and I should at least make an attempt at reading the chapter before going. ;-)
