Hot!!!

The temperature has been in the mid 90's for the past two days and forecasters predict the oppressive heat will continue through today. D and I spent most of the weekend working in the yard so I am looking forward to a cool day in an air conditioned office.

The school is allowing J to make up his missed finals so now we just have to explain why he missed, or was late for an excessive amount of English classes. If we lose the appeal, he will be allowed to walk on graduation day with his class, but will have to go to summer school to get his English credit. He says that he will not go to summer school. But believe me, he will.

I have been in a fairly good mood lately even though I have been off meds (except for one difficult day) for approximately three weeks. I am often envious of other people for whom laughter and playfulness comes so easily. However, I can generally accept that a "fairly good mood" is way better than feeling suicidal.

Update – I just got off the phone with the Asst. Principle at J’s school and after a lengthy discussion I was unable to get some type of exception for J. The Asst. Principle had one remarkably lucid quote though; “When J shows up for class 10 minutes late with a Dunkin Donuts coffee in his hand, it is hard to muster up sympathy for him”. Raising teens SUCKS!!!
