Wow, it's been too long since I last posted.

May has been sort of horrible. Lots of stress and lots of busy, no time to write, no time to think, no time to breathe. At least the stressful part is over. My husband and I are celebrating 16 years of marriage today. It's a good day to de-stress.

Now I'm focusing on my health, i.e., getting it back. It's been lost for a while, I think. I'm going to try to make as many good, healthful choices as I can.

So while I'm focusing on my health, I'm also going to see if I can get back into the swing of my novel: I've been writing it for years, and I'm still not sure how it ends. I need to start reading books more regularly, and playing the 'what if' game with myself. I need to get out from behind the computer sometimes and actually take a walk outdoors. Or even in the gym.

I've got a lot of imagination to catch up on. :D! I'm looking forward to re-discovering it.

And me.

So. Updating, then.

The month of May has pretty much been a bust for anything except stress and tired. But today is my 16th wedding anniversary and we'll be going out to dinner tomorrow night. I'm really looking forward to that. I feel like I haven't seen my husband for weeks.

I'm back to focusing on my health. I know, I know, like you haven't all heard that before. But there are things I have to take care of and they'll be taken care of better if I'm as well physically as I can be.

Another thing that I'll be doing is trying to get my novel written. I just *can't* seem to finish it. Perhaps it's fear of failure...or of success. Who knows, I'm a strange duck.

I can tell that I'm worn out, though. I've got to get my imagination back in gear. I need to start playing the "what if" game and getting out for walks. I need to read books, as well.

To everyone I RP with, sorry for the flakiness. I'ma gonna do better. :)

My son's IEP meeting was yesterday. We made sure they UNDERSTOOD that Liam is not neurotypical and you can't MAKE him be neurotypical, so stop punishing him for stimming. Since he stims with sound, yes, it can be annoying but he HAS TO DO IT.

Man, sometimes people just don't get it but the woman in charge of the special education dept. was receptive to our concerns and we've got a couple of options we will be exploring for next year. Anything has to be better than this year. Liam has made himself physically ill with stress and now he HATES school. Oy.

I've rarely been more glad to see a school year end. Hallelujah.
