Well, been a long time since entries. Been a long month period.

My step-father has a rare non-contagious form of TB and is an epileptic. The meds for each conflict and the cure rate for this form of TB is less than desirable without any other complications. We are playing a waiting game to see what happens.

I am looking at moving again because of incredibly high Hydro bills in my current apartment. YAY. I hate moving. Still, maybe this time I will find a place we can all be happy in for awhile.

Have created and uploaded the Labyrinth at last. It is a trial version and therefore shorter than I had originally planned on. Still if this goes over fairly well I will create a second edition, with much more detail.

So again until I have something worth writing about, I bid you farewell.

It never rains it pours. I would put up the rant warning only I'm not sure I want to waste that much energy.

Yesterday I got a notice from the school concerned about the number of days my daughter has missed. Early in the year to help avoid such an event I warned them about the appointments and such she would have to attend. I also arranged rather early on to simply keep her home if I felt she was not going to be able to manage herself accordingly rather than send her and end up having to go get her. I realise it's basically a form letter and that it's school procedure to address this issue. I am still angry because it does not seem to take into account her special circumstances at all. Even policies such as this one are subject to circumstances. Many times I have tried to get some kind of support from the school only to have it ignored or never completed. I send a letter to her teacher telling her about an absence the next day only to have the office phone me to ask why she has ben marked absent. I am also aware my own track record for remembering to phone is not the best. I have indeed woke up and remembered an appointment on the spot and haven't called until later in the day. We have, on occaison, slept through the alarm after a long night's tantrum. This whole situation is driving me crazy.

There all fixed. Yup that's right, sick again. With all the whacked out weather patterns as of late it's no real surprise is it? Beautiful and balmy one day, winter frigid the next. It never rains it pours. Thank God for Dristan!!!!!

Apartment hunting is not going as well as I had hoped I can tell you. It almost seems like they want first and last up front the day you look at it before you can rent nowadays. I remember when a couple hundred would hold a place until your cheque came in. >sigh<
