I haven't blogged here since December 9! Sorry about that. I was just busy with the holidays and have been playing with my new toy, a Sony Cybershot hybrid or "bridge" camera, since Christmas Day. We only took down our Christmas tree yesterday. This year, we celebrated "The Twelve Days of Christmas", and next year we're going to celebrate Advent which I understand is twenty-four days. I don't really even know what Advent is all about yet, so it ought to be fun learning about it.
Today Mike told me the TPR hearing is only seven weeks away. Almost a year and a half of waiting will finally be over, one way or the other. Hearing it's only seven weeks away really increased my anxiety. I actually felt myself tense up. I feel this weird sensation of inertia and yet like I am not fully in the present-- and I cannot decide if I want to speed time up or stop it! I want to feel at peace about the hearing, but I'm such a realist. So I started taking some medication for symptoms of anxiety and depression on December 23, and it seems to be working-- I am sleeping really well again, every night-- and hopefully it will be in full force by March. We're flying my mom here for the week of the hearing so that Mike and I can both go to court each day, and it was a huge relief to book her flights and know that she will be here either way to help out with the kids and to (hopefully) CELEBRATE.
