Today, I am empowered

We had our AGM for the ADHD group last night. First part was the meeting. Typical boring stuff - vote on this, vote on that. Just something that must be done.

The second half, however, was a dynamic speaker! She just made me feel so GOOD about all that I have been successful in doing, and also offered a few new tips and tricks I will have to give a go.

After the meeting, I had a couple of people tell me how much they enjoyed the article I had written for last month's newsletter. They said it was informative, interesting, and very well written. (In your face boss' ex...) Anyway, I just left that meeting feeling great.

When I got home, the A-man was very excited to tell me all about the play he had been to see. His drama teacher had secured VIP passes for her entire class, and he loved it. This is the second professional performance he has been to, and the reaction has been the same each time. Now, the performance I took him to over a year ago in Toronto (Lord of the Rings) was far more advanced in many respects, but still, the glow and excitement was just as real this time around. The boy loves the theatre!

S got his report card back. Pretty much what I was expecting, truth be told. Actually, some marks were quite a bit higher than I was expecting, so that is a nice surprise. Mostly low to mid 70's - a couple of 80's (!!) and not a very good mark in French, but that is to be expected at this point, I think. We will address that tomorrow at the meeting, I'm sure.

S had a good day yesterday. A blip in the radar, perhaps? We shall see... Specialist has indicated something in his last email - I have asked for clarification. Will post more when I know more.

And, we finally have a date for the fMRI - the last Thursday in January. Not really the best time for me, as that Friday is the move-in for one of the shows, but I will NOT request a date change - I've been waiting since July for this appointment, so we will just have to do a lot of driving in a very short period of time, I guess. City one (3 hours away) to back home, then from home to city two (2 1/2 hours the other way...)

Who has more fun that us??
