You can turn off FB chat, sara. I'm very limited in IM - I don't mind the message part, but "instant" is too much pressure.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Because books.
I like texting now that I have a full keyboard on my phone. But I can't figure out to use the internet on my phone, and I'm honestly not that interested in learning. I'm on the web enough at home, I think.
I'm totally adding "luddititude" to my vocabulary, too.

Eh, there are enough people on fb I do like to chat with, it's just I feel tied sometimes and guilty about ignoring for a period of time because I'm not in the mood. Which is totally irrational, since everyone who would use that with me, knows me and I can say "done now" and it's fine. It's the concept. I chafe, in theory.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Ryan Reynolds is single!
Heh. I got a text alert earlier. Apparently, so is David Thewlis.

I don't even know what the associated verb is for tumblr.
I don't have a tumblr account, but please, come everyone and enjoy my earworm:
I'll tumbl for ya, I'll tumbl for ya!

sara = a total luddite.
So to also make yesterday the day of suck, we also had Grace's IEP that I think I may need to take to due process. FUCK. An OT looked at her and actually said that (1) her biggest problem was occular tracking (wha?) and that (2) she can't do anything about it because of the trach, because normally she puts kids in passive neck restraints to get them to track. Really? So that's it. Not her inability to play with toys at midline, her left side weakness? Her poor perception and sensory motor control? All of which OTs are supposed to deal with? This is going to get fucking ugly. I think I need a lawyer.

Also WRT the Ryan/Scarlett split, were they ever seen in public together? And how long and careful can the consideration be in a two year marriage?

Oh jeez, Kat. That's so not on. Damnit. Why can't you get assigned someone like Noah's OT, who seemed awesome what little I saw of her?

I'm glad you know to question that stuff, Kat, but I sure wish the whole process was easier.

The upside is that Grace's teacher, Ms. Leslie, is wonderful. Grace is actually, according to the teacher, the smartest kid in class, which means that she is probably misplaced at Lowman long term. She said that for Kindergarten, she'll need to probably move schools because she'll need more than Lowman can do.
There are two other kids in her class that are still at Totally Kids, the facility where Grace was, including S who was Grace's roommate!
