So now that you see my username you know I have not dropped off the face of the planet, although for all intents and purposes I have been gone a while.....lol.

At the beginning of the month my computer died (some of you may remember that night in chat? I think it was a Tuesday....I kept getting kicked out because my screen would lock up. Eventually, it wouldn't come back on). I disconnected my internet (no point eh) on the 5th of October, and really only checked email from the library rarely.

We moved on the 20th (my birthday). We're now living in Duluth, and despite some transition issues, we love it here! Isaac LOVES his school and I have to say that I'm totally with him....they are giving him the support he has needed all along and is doing fabulous, making friends and even riding the bus! His team is incredible, they know him SO well (they GET him, kwim?) already and it's only been a few days. Next week he will have a sub, and they are trying to get it worked out so he can meet the sub prior to next week. They sent home pics of all his classmates and their names so he can memorize them. He even loves school so much, he got his whole week's worth of homework done last night and it got turned in early!

I'm just plain tired...lots of naps. I think I have a job (it's part time but I'll take anything right now) working as a personal care attendant for a friend of mine. It sure will be different taking care of a female! :) We live on a busy street so the noise of the big city surrounds us daily. Isaac has been so tired he sleeps through everything, but I hear the trains, the ships and the sirens all night. I'm sure I'll get used to them soon and won't even notice them.

Because I'm not working, it will be a few more weeks until I have my computer and internet back. First things first- bills must be paid! Then I have to get the computer fixed, and if it can't be fixed I have to find a way to buy a new one. I don't know when I'll be back long-term, I'm hoping sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas, because the no internet and no chat thing is driving me insane!

I finally have a library card so I can come check my email at the library...and I found a library not far from my house (with free parking...can you say METERS downtown?). If you wanna contact me you can try email insideout418 at yahoo dot com. Otherwise, those who have my cell phone # can call me there (that number is the same for now). I'll check back periodically on the board now that I have 30 minute time slots on the computer (rather than 15 minutes when I didn't have a card), but nothing regular for a while.

I miss you all. Molly I'm glad you guys are ok, I was thinking of you. I really miss the chats and you can bet once I'm back online you'll be listening to me (er, reading me) a lot. ;) I may (gulp) even have a guy to tell you about!

Talk to ya soon! Happy Halloween!
