Do I have anything to say?: Starting Over

Starting Over

Well, the GREAT news is that I have my computer back.

The "not so great" news is that I have to start ALL over with EVERYTHING. It is like a brand new computer. I no longer have my "favorites" or my web site history (all those sites that I visited frequently, but never actually saved as "favorites"...gone). The way things look is COMPLETELY different.

I have all those back up disks and external hard drive stuff my mom's work did for me, but I think it is going to take a LONG time to get things back the way they were (if I am even able to get things back to the way they were).

I have yet to decide if all of this is worth it because the only thing that was wrong was my speakers (and the battery doesn't work, but they opted not to replace that for me...thanks a lot!).

Well, my foster parent class starts in 30 minutes and I haven't done the reading, my homework, or eaten dinner. I think food comes first...and hopefully they agree!

Ta-ta for now.

Who's Who

Updated September 2013

I have one sister who is married and has two boys. "A" was born June 2009 and "I" was born March 2012. We are both really close to my parents and have lots of "family dinners".

I wrote a lot about my patients when I first started this blog. Some patients are still growing and thriving, and others have lost their battles.

My first foster placements lived with me from June 2010-September 2011. They were sisters who were 15 and almost 3 when they were placed with me and are now 18 and 5. I called M "the teen" and L "the little one". They live with their mom who still has many issues, but are doing well (ok) and I still have (not enough) contact with them.

My second foster placement came to me September 6, 2012. I call her Zoe and she turned 5 in April. She has cystic fibrosis and has been a patient on my floor at the hospital. The plan is still reunification.

Ivy is a 17-year-old whose mom died just before Thanksgiving. She has a Guardian, but is unable to live with him due to some family issues. She has no other family who is willing/able to take her. She moved in with me the beginning of February. She moved to a group home at the beginning of August as her needs were too great for me with my schedule and having another child with special needs.
