I'm here...I'm just sick. Again. Like almost every 3 weeks. Until then, ginger ale and crackers for me.
Will you be going to the sale show Saturday in Portland? Here's the link;

I try to go each year mainly to see and catch up with old friends. I call it a "sale" and show because that's what it seems more of to me, a sale. I mean really people , how many ball python and corn snake morphs do we need to see people. Sure they've got some patterns I've yet to see, but I prefer the original versions of the animals.

Hi Steven:

Nice to see you this a.m. My back yard light works great! Still haven't decided where to put the other two, but I'm thinking about near the metal shed on the north side of the house.

Today is errand-running day. And I've got the blahs. Don't really feel like doing anything. But I must force myself. Time to turn off the computer and go fix tortoise breakfast, then get going into town.

later everyone.

What happened the first day?

She got lost and confused. Little things that don't go the way she thinks it should is triple anxiety compared to others.
She has Dyslexia and gets school anxiety.
She reads and tests at a 3rd grade level even though her IQ is pretty high.
I told her that nobody else knows she's lost. They just see a kid walking through the campus.

She also has a blocked schedule that is very confusing to her.
One day they go to 1,3,5 then 2,4,6.
Well, then your next odd day is 3,5,1 and 4,6,2. So she is worried about that too.

It broke my heart that she asked to be home schooled.

Poor kid. Hope the routine kicks in soon.

Well, I made it home safely from running errands. Whew! So glad that's over for another week. I would love to be able to do all this stuff online and not have to EVER leave the house.

I had TERRIBLE anxiety about getting lost, going to the wrong classes, being too 'dumb' etc etc and I'm 30 and STILL have nightmares about losing my class schedule so I couldn't find my way.

Remind her that if she is lost she can ask any adult and they wont make fun of her for being lost, they will always help. I also laminated my weekly schedule and would use a dry erase pen to cross off each class each day to make sure I didn't go to the wrong one on the wrong day. I'm very list oriented.

Going into high school I BEGGED my parents to let me test out and get a GED because I had taken all of the practice tests and aced them. I was book smart, just anxious and awkward. Alas, I graduated with the rest of my peers near the top of my class and even made some friends along the way.
