Voted Early Today - I'll be out of town on the 4th. What a crazy experience that was. Kind of BMVish. Place was very busy considering it was Tuesday at 3:45. I'd say 50 people were waiting to vote. I'd say 10 of them were white. I got a feeling that this election is going to be historic in voter turn out and results. And I'm not much of an optimist.
Got Indy's Language Test Results - As I suspected after research (thank you internet), he has Expressive Language Delay. The therapist said it was mild and he was only concerned that Indy would become frustrated, not that it would greatly inhibit his ability to learn or to relate to peers or anything. He labeled him a visual learner and said he doesn't need any one-on-one therapy at this time. The Language guy is just going to help the teachers work with him and some other kids in the class that are in a similar boat. I guess there are several kids in his class with this visual and not auditory learning issue. And the therapist implied that the classroom was awesome, but maybe a little too awesome for some kids. Highly stimulating and overwhelming. So, I'm glad Indy has another full year to get comfy there.
Work is a Work in Progress - After hives and a recent Lupus attack that got me down on Saturday, I've decided to start taking better care of myself, which includes working at home in the mornings, working out at lunch, and then going into the office. For some reason, I am optimistic that this will allow me to get more done with less stress. We shall see.
Excited about Seeing Holly - In an amazing turn of events, Holly and I are crossing paths in Chicago next week. So to spend time with her, I am leaving 2 days earlier than I need too, crashing her hotel room for cheap city weekending, and then going to some meetings on Tuesday.
Crazy Days Ahead - After Networking tomorrow night, Sage and I volunteer at Indy's class Thurs. morning, followed by me taking Indy to a play date in Hudson with his new best school bud. Thursday night is dinner at Clayde's. Friday is more classroom volunteering and Barb is coming over to help me reorganize. Then Sage and I have a date Friday night. Saturday the gutter guy comes and I go to the airport. I get back Wednesday afternoon and have to bake vegan oatmeal cookies that night. Thursday is Indy's party celebration at school. Friday Indy has a day off, so I'm hoping I don't have any work to do. Saturday is Indy's birthday party. Sunday? Collapse.
