my first day
My first day yesterday was okay. Like, everyone is really nice and the groups were good for the most part, but it SUCKED eating. It was SO HARD. It took me FOREVER to eat.

slight change in plans
Plans have changed slightly. I'm bringing my mom in at the end of my therapy appt. today to tell her about what's going on. My appt. is at 1:30. I'm assuming my mom is going to tell my dad some time after dinner.
