Getting Adjusted

Monday, November 7, 2011

Well, it’s been a month now since Rye and I left our home in the Southeast to drive across county and meet up with Don to settle into our new life in the Northwest.  Holy cow.  I can’t believe it’s only been a month.  It feels like it’s been much, much longer. In a good [...]

We Made It!

Tuesday, October 18, 2011

It’s been a while since my last post but we made it and we are all in one piece!  Holy cow, though, what a long drive.  And we were pooped x100 by the time we got here.  I think we went through 11 states in all.  My favorite?  Montana.  Montana is spectacular.
So, we are here.  [...]

The Long Ride Home

Monday, October 3, 2011

I think I told you we are moving.  Across country.
To get to our new location, first we were going to drive.  Then we were going to fly.  And then the time was just dragging on and Don had been gone for a while, already living in the new location and working and well, Rye and [...]

Charlie Sheen Roast on Comedy Central: Review

Tuesday, September 20, 2011

Oh my gosh, did you by any chance see this last night?  I’m guessing if you had anything better to do at all you didn’t.  But for me, Rye was in bed with a cold and I was up late bored so I watched it.
Wow.
Here are my thoughts:
What a train wreck.  I’m so curious as [...]

Heading Out West

Saturday, September 3, 2011

Yuppers, we are moving.  From East Coast to West Coast. All the way.
Why are we moving?  Well, Don got his dream job and is already there and loving it.  And I really miss the West Coast, the way of life out there, my friends from growing up there, etc., etc.  So, off we go!
To say [...]

Setting Limits

Monday, August 29, 2011

Well, getting back into a routine is proving to be a tad more difficult than I hoped it would be.  And the struggle can be felt throughout the land.   Setting limits.  Limits are not what Rye always likes but are what he desperately needs.  And so we set them.  And we [...]

Back To School

Thursday, August 25, 2011

We started back to school today.
I’ll admit, it was a bit rough.  It’s hard to go from having fun all of the time to doing schoolwork.  But, we did it.  And we came up with a system for our daily routine going forward that I think is going to work for both of us.
Although we [...]

Hello August

Saturday, August 6, 2011

Well, gosh, I haven’t been much for blogging lately.  But we’ve had a really busy July!
Things that have been happening:
* Rye turned 14.  He had a good birthday.  We went camping per his request and he brought a friend.  Then when we got back home he and that friend and some other friends went and [...]

Stability and Emotional Maturity

Monday, July 25, 2011

I’ll tell you, this has been quite a summer for us.  Rye is doing really well.  If you didn’t know him well or he didn’t tell you (he’s very open with telling people he is bipolar), you would have no idea that he is bipolar.
He is that stable.
One of the things I have noticed recently [...]

Summer of ‘11

Monday, July 18, 2011

Well, we are full in the swing of summer here.  It’s really nice.
And we finally have our pool to pretty, blue, and swim-able.  Even nicer.
Overall, things are going well.  And I guess I’ve gotten so relaxed I haven’t been blogging much.  I don’t know.  Maybe I just needed a break from the blogging for a [...]
