hi all~


sorry i haven't posted in a while but i've been busy. earlier this week i adopted a 10 month old german shepard puppy. i've been preparing for her arrival tonight:)


on the child support front xh got ahold of me online the other night and told me that he's not using a lawyer and for me to go ahead and have him served. convinced the judge will rule in his favor because the poor baby is penniless. yet, right before this conversation he sent 12 yo dd an email inviting her out to see him, but it couldn't be this weekend because he's going out of town.


i called the lawyer back and the lawyer she referred me to is 30 miles away and just not worth the commute. tdoc gave me the name of her lawyer and said she's excellent. she used to be an advocate for kids in divorce/custody cases. so tdoc thinks she'll be able to help me out.


on the meds front ~ i talked to pdoc yesterday and i'm going to stay at the 15mg of zyprexa, she's lowering the depakote to 500 as opposed to the 750 because when i started on the depakote i felt my best when i was at 500 but old pdoc upped it despite me telling him that. i'm still on the wellbutrin. pdoc is thinking about the possibility of adding topomax if my weight gain doesn't even out soon. since i started it, i've gained 10 pounds. which, for me that was a good thing, but i don't want to gain anymore either. so things are finally (knock on wood) starting to stabiize. thank God!!!!!!!!! my rage is still somewhat of an issue, but i'm working on that. some good old fashioned anger management work w/ tdoc.


i've also started dating a guy and that seems to be going well. and, i completed a certificate course in substance & sexual abuse so i'm hoping that will help me get an entry level job somewhere until i get my actual bachelor's degree.


things are really starting to turn around for me and i feel cautiously optimistic:) Anyway, just wanted to post an update:) hope you all have a wonderful weekend!


love & hugs,


traci
