OMG, you guys. I'm living in a house that I (co-)own. I admit I'm having some sense of denial and some imposter syndrome, and wondering what MY stuff is doing in Jeanne's house, but whatever. We're getting there. I went out this morning and picked black raspberries before breakfast. I keep re arranging stuff that can't be put away yet. But my bed ( Read more... )

Went back. MRI is normal. Still no reason detected or any change good or ill with kid's eye, so the ophthalmologist's next step: surgery. This issue is less than 6 months old, ish, but not by much, and the sooner one can correct, the better.

We're moving out of our 2 floors of a 2 fam house in July. If you or someone you know wants a 3 (4?) bedroom house across the street from Hardy Elementary, off street parking, half the basement (but don't expect to use the garage) - 1 1/2 blocks from Capitol Theater/ Mass Ave, 3/4 mi from Alewife, 1 block from bike path. It has real insulation, but ( Read more... )

This morning was the meeting at school following the testing to see what's up with the kid, what more does he need to be more successful (and less disruptive??) .
