I think I'm ready to try regrounding positivity again.

I got a new counselor after 2 months of no counselor at all. I massively declined in that time but I got a sudden burst of happiness after my first appointment. The lady is my type of people. She's quirky, has green hair, has one of the same ptsd triggers that I do and we vibe off the deep end. I walked into McDonalds smiling under my mask aftetwards lol

I hope I can get back on the up-slope now.

Before I thought counseling didn't really do much and I just wanted to get medicated, but I just found out first hand that I can't move forward without it.

That's great news! The right person can make all the difference! I'm so happy for you!
 
Awesome news! I hope the good vibes continue!
 
E’s ear is healing well! I’m also happy to say that she’s a nice kid at school. The teachers and othe adults have gone out of their way to tell me how polite and kind she is at school.

Here's where you can buy one! I've been drooling for so long!
 
The other day Action Hank and I headed to town and I rescued an Ornate Box Turtle from the road. No traffic, so I was able to nab him, limp back to the van drop him off in a nearby field. Easy peasy! Then though as we got near the lake by town, we stopped for another turtle, a very large (maybe 18 inches from nose to tail) RedEarred Slider. There was a lot more traffic and a quickly approaching truck in the turtle's lane. I stood fearfully by, hoping the truck would miss him. Instead he stopped, blocked the lane off so I could safely dash out and shoo big boy out of the road, then even waited till I was safely back in the van and we were on our way. I waved and blew him kisses. He was so kind to help me that way when in the past I've had drivers almost hit me, or most horrid, I've had them speed up and hit the animals I'm trying to save. Last year in particular I had an old woman hit a box turtle I was trying to save. She sped up and struck it right in front of me, even with me and another man trying to wave her down so she wouldn't hit the poor thing. I cried so hard. So the man in the truck just will never know how his kindness touched me on a day I really, really needed to see some humanity in others. What a wonderful man. And what a lucky turtle!

(we've had so much rain, the critters are all over the roads! If only people would slow down just a smidge to save them)
 
I dub thee Foof, rescuer of turtles!

I hope the kiddos don't get too crummy feeling from the Fauci Ouchi. My mom and little brother just got their 2nd doses yesterday and have been dealing with the chills/sweats/fever but it will pass. I've been fully vaccinated since the beginning of March. I got the fever/chills/aches and all but it only lasted a day or two. I guess it's what we all gotta do to hopefully get a leg up on this pandemic.

E and I just got tired and sore… I had a low fever, but she’s been ok.

Thank you for this story. I love hearing that there are good people out there, still.
 
Why wouldn’t it be?
It's just nerve wracking to make these decisions sometimes. With the medications he's on and his disability there's already so many unknowns to deal with. I know it's what I needed to do and I do feel like it's a step in the right direction so he can start getting out again.
