Finding a new place to live is a giant pain in the ass. My only saving grace is the fact that I didn't unpack too much from the last time I moved. Plus there's the fact that I'm not moving to a different state. I'm not worried about the packing, I haven't even really started with it. It's the whole waiting to see whether or not someone accepts your offer to buy a house. I'm not very fond of waiting. If they don't accept my offer, I'll have to go back and try and find another place.
For everyone that has been seeing me professionally, I've got recommendations for a new psychiatrist if you want to give them a try. Of course I won't be that far away. I'm here for anyone who needs me. I'm not sure I'll get to post again, we'll see. So I'll say for now that it was really nice meeting you all. |

We got our tree and our decorations put up today. I didn't think we were ever going to get it done, but somehow we managed. Reaching things way high up is not my specialty, and I nearly fell off the step ladder. Oops. Everything's all put up. Now I just have to wrap all of these presents. Let me tell you, I really don't like wrapping. I'm very bad at it. All corners and crinkled paper. I'm the kind of person who puts everything into bags. Except for the fact that putting things in bags leads the kid to trying to sneak peeking in them before Christmas.
Thus I end up having to wrap everything. I'm thinking about just getting some professionals to do it. That costs money, and she's just going to tear the things apart anyway in two seconds. All of that wrapping and nothing to show for it. Ah well. I'll just wrap it all awfully.
Let's see, the kid is possibly being in some christmas pageant. She's supposed to be a wise man, I think. I'm just going to be amused at seeing her in a beard. I shouldn't laugh at that, right? I'm a bad mom.
When we were all done with our decorations, the kid turns to me and goes "Hey mom, next year can we just be Jewish?" I'm pretty sure I haven't laughed so hard in all my life.

I adore Halloween. Going trick or treating with the kid is definitely the highlight of my night. There are lots of kids around here, ones my daughter's age. They were all actually really nice to her and took her along as they went up to every house and got candy. The parents were welcoming too, so that was nice. We're fitting in here really nice, actually. I wasn't quite sure that we would, but we are.
June has started school, and she really likes it. Of course she misses her other friends, that part is the hardest. But they do video chatting and call each other on the phone all the time. I promised that I'd take her back to Los Angeles in the summer so that she can visit all of her friends.
Any case, she dressed up as Snoopy, it's really cute. I've taken lots and lots of pictures. It took her forever to get to go to bed though. All of that candy I let her have. Ah well, it's just once a year that I let her stay up and eat a bunch of junk. Can't be that bad, as long as she sleeps enough to go to school in the morning. I warned her that she's going to be tired in the morning, but kids never listen to you when you say that. They don't get the concept of going to bed late making you feel tired.
Anyway, I hope you all had a fantastic Halloween. |

I'm currently holed out in a building on Dunkirk Street, where I both live and have my practice set up.
The last psychiatrist you guys had kind of bailed, and I know there isn't one around for another .. however many miles, so.. I don't have anyone keeping appointments for me or anything, so you'll have to excuse me running around in circles to try and keep everyone straight but.
If you'd like to make an appointment, just let me know. [insert phone number here]
And if anyone needs a job, and wants to set appointments for me, let me know. |

I've been here in Heritage for a while now, and my daughter has gotten to know her dad pretty well. She wants to stay. Well, the thing is that school is starting. It's starting really soon and of course she just wants to skip school and stay here. But she has to go to school. So I'm a little confused because I've told her this, and now she's torn between wanting to stay here near her dad and going back to see her friends.
I'm a shrink, I can work anywhere. I could even set up my own practice here. I feel bad making June leave her dad when she's just gotten to know him. It feels really unfair. But she has friends and a life there. And I do too. Sort of. I have my family. It's all sorts of complicated, and I have to make a decision in like a week.
Sometimes life is really confusing. |

Hey,
How are you? We're really pretty good over here. June is all done with school, so technically our vacation can start any time. I've shuffled some things around again as far as my patients go, and we're all set to come out. We just need to know when would be a good time for us to come. I'm not sure for how long, I suppose that's up to June.
Hope you and your family is doing well. We'll see you soon I hope.
Margot |

I'm sorry to be a bother to anyone, but I was just wondering if um.. anyone knows Bryan? I think his last name is Chalker. |
