a soldier through this

Not that I think Saturday will really be all that swell. Have a lot of fic to be writing and very little time to be doing it.

Not so good day with R – it was good in that he was home on time and didn’t fight with me or argue and pretty much did everything I asked, and I managed to keep him from running off… bad because he stole $200 from S this morning. He did, however, seem to show remorse. The good news is that it was confiscated from him by the school, and his teacher brought it back to me after school was over.

Just argh. We really need to try to figure out ways to help this kid get over this sort of stuff before all of us go nuts.

Yargh. So tired.

R had a really good day today, which makes his second day in a row after his last meeting with his therapist, where it was decided that he could start all over as if it was his first night, with a clean slate. Meds are probably part of the reason he’s had such issues, so we’ll have to see about getting them changed. I really, really hate the mentality of just throwing pills at whatever problem anyone has, considering how often they don’t work or just make things even worse (Case in point: The Spawn of Satan). Blegh.

At any rate, it was a good day. No arguing or anything, and we even took a walk down to the park and played there for a bit. Hopefully tomorrow will be just as easy.

Tonight was the puppies’ first night of “Puppy Kindergarten”. It was pretty fun, aside from Fritz and Eden being so bonded to each other that they didn’t want to pay attention to anything but each other (and even treats couldn’t keep their attention for long. Hopefully they’ll get used to all the excitement and such soon and we can actually do something with them.

OTL Always so tired when writing.

Today marked my six month anniversary of being “officially” together with the most wonderful girl in the world. I say “officially”, because really, we’ve been together almost since the day we met over eight years ago. People would always ask us if we were together – whether in some chat room or in real life, and the answer was always “no” – but at the same time, if someone asked us if we were single, we’d just sort of point to each other.

It seems silly, but I really couldn’t have chosen a better person to have as a friend, much less as a girlfriend. We don’t need to constantly reaffirm our relationship, we just are. We don’t need to talk every day or comment on each other’s journals to “prove” our love, we’re content in just being and knowing that we’re there for each other when we really need it. We both have our personal problems, and we both do what we can to help alleviate them. That’s all we really need.

So, here’s to six more months, and for years to come. I love you, Cris.
