In memory of those we lost in the past years... this dedication is to you, the eccentrics, the free thinkers, people who made a difference in our lives both in the real world and on the net.Thank you for the memories.

Overslept and missed b'fast with my friend.Took the PR to the psychologist for her six month check up and she had a meltdown in his office. She's going to be on sleeping pills for the next month since that was what she said bothered her the most (not being able to fall asleep). We'll revisit in a month and see if he has found a social worker/psych to talk to her. In the meantime there's 2 organizations I need to contact to see if they can take/help her. At least this time it's not suicidal thoughts, just immense pressure she's putting herself under.Then took her shopping at Wal-Mart which seemed to help her.

She really needs to learn that material things don't always bring you to good places. When she eventually goes into custodial care (after we are gone) she won't have a lot of money, maybe $45 pocket money a month. So I need to teach her other coping mechanisms. And I need to teach myself the same coping mechanisms. lol
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!
then I went to work
Oh I took my partner Max with me and he was just the best

And I need to teach myself the same coping mechanisms. lolDoes she respond well to any sort of sensory therapy? All of the coping mechanisms I've been working on teaching monkeyboy are sensory related. The best being deep pressure. That's his thing. I give him a head to toe deep pressure massage every night before bed (but only certain people are allowed to give it to him because that much body touching does run the risk of abuse) so he has a weighted blanket that he uses in my absence. When I was a teen, it was a comfy blanket, my teddy bear (which I still have ) and headphones blasting music. I still have playlists that are meant for certain things. Processing. Depression. Anger. Encouragement etc. Not sure what her "thing" is but hopefully you can tap into it and keep building on it.
