First, as always, thank you so much for all your kind words of encouragement. I love that about you.
We had a somewhat painful conversation with My Kid last night. The gist of it is, someone has accused him of something that he claims he has not done. I guess it's just he said-she said right now, b/c the school is not punishing him. They've merely asked us to take care of the situation. And I guess we have. If any of the complaint at all is true - even in jest - I'm sure that it won't happen again. My concern is if in fact the complainant is, err...unreliable in some way (whether she is mistaken, or making it up, or whatever) I'm concerned that it could recur, in which case the school would take action. For now, we just go on and hope that it's all behind us. Just so you know, it wasn't anything horrifying. Let's just say that if it were true, I'd be more disappointed in his behavior than angry at him.
I also spoke to my brother yesterday. He seemed to be in better spirits. He said he felt a lot better. You know what it is they say about a secret shared is a burden halved or whatever, right? So that's good, although I'm still heartbroken over what he's going through.
And there's not really much I can do about my friend's mom, or any of the people going through the continuing effects of Katrina, for that matter. My friend was an only child and her mom was pretty young when we were in high school (she had her 20-year reunion my senior year). After I graduated I went through some family stuff and I ended up living with them for about a year. So it's hard for me to hear how she's falling apart. The way I'm dealing with that is through my writing. I'm currently working on a short story that's based around Katrina and the aftermath.
So that's all that. In addition to the depression I've been having some anxiety attacks lately. What with all this, right?? I'm going to talk to my doc about switching back to my old meds b/c they seemed to have worked better for me and I've just found out that it's also used to treat anxiety. Anyway, I'm hanging in and just trying to get up and show up every day. Sometimes that's all you can do.
That...and blog.

as my mom always tells me, this too shall pass. i don't know why stuff always happens in a row like that, but it does. sucky. treat yourself right . . . tak care of yourself so you can help take care of the other problems. p.s. anxiety attacks suck. i hear ya.
My sister told me once "In the end, everythig will be alright. If it's not alright, it's not the end." So, one day at a time and all that...
I thought I was going to wean myself off of my anti-depressent/anti-anxiety meds. Then life threw me a few curves, and I've determined that staying the course would make a lot more sense right now. I wish I had a way to help.
Kalisah, you are one smart cookie with a hell of a lot of heart AND determination, and you're going to get through this. I might have already said this, but it bears repeating. Thinking of you!!!!
