Due to his illness the Teen is on a reduced school schedule as we work on his recovery & building up his strength to be able to attend for a full day.
So today he attended morning classes & a session with his support teacher.
On the tram home he was confronted in his words “a pack of Boomers”.
They demanded to know why he wasn’t at school. First of all - it’s none of their fucking business. But he’s a polite kid & he showed them his official leaving pass.
I haven’t done an update for a while mostly because it’s just been a Ferris wheel - weight goes up, weight goes down, sleep improves, sleep disintegrates, exercise increases & decreases, an exhausting pattern of steps forward & back.
We have been working with his school to get him back in regular attendance, which has been improving so far this term. Everyone involved has been very supportive.
However….
Todays medical check shows that we aren’t winning the battle. His blood pressure is very abnormal, indicating that he has been putting his heart under considerable stress.
We have another medical check on Thursday, & on doctors advice if the situation remains…
I am very understanding of the delays on the Frankston line @metrotrains but we could’ve done with a heads up at Glen Huntly station about which platform the trains towards Frankston are departing from. Thank you.
Because we were all on Platform 3 and the train pulled into Platform 2 and we weren’t able to cross at the crossing and make it in time.
TBH during the level removal we could do with more information about which platform the train will be arriving at.
Currently if you are on the incorrect platform it’s a run down, cross the tracks (if able to, usually not because that’s blocked off for the train to come through), run passed a couple of shops, turn corner, and run past those shops on the side, up a long ramp & onto platform.
Caulfield South is a small suburb in the south east of Melbourne. Our state electorate is Caulfield. Our state MP is David Southwick (Liberal). David (or his social media team) creates fake accounts on Facebook to post his propaganda.
I am admin for a small community group on Facebook. We have not quite 700 members. We like to find lost dogs and cats in the neighbourhood. Working out what bin week it is rates as IMPORTANT.
So I recently started receiving posts about Davis Southwicks zoom sessions titled "Alternate Roadmap to Recovery" - I approved the initial one but declined the others because the title didn't without sit right without
EM(11): “Mum one of my friends gave me a weird present.”
He pulls a new, wrapped sanitary napkin out of pencil case.
Me: “One of your female friends?”
EM: “Yeah”
Me: “Well maybe she’s hoping you’ll hold onto it for her. Maybe you should keep some in your locker just in case.”
EM: “You mean periods just happen???”
Me: “Yeah sometimes. You know what’s worse than keeping a few sanitary napkins in your locker? Walking around with a wad of toilet paper in your pants.”
EM: “What??? Has that ever happened to you??”
Me: “Of course I have! Many times! Every woman has.”
EM: “Would I be weird or a hero if I kept some in my locker?”
Me: “Would you like to walk around with a wad of toilet paper in your undies??”
