Interesting happenings

It's been a while since I posted to my blog. Zach came home 2 weeks ago after spending more than a month in a residential treatment program. It didn't seem like it was going to work at first but I've done my best to let him know I'm not putting up with his crap anymore. He went to school Friday and even took the bus there. I was thrilled. He's been able to go into stores and buy things on his own too. His social anxieties would have prevented that before. He's definitely getting better.

I got my first royalty check for the anthology, "Abandoned". It was extremely small but I was so happy. Someone bought the book. How cool is that??

School is going really well. I'm starting to feel like a real college student even though I'm old enough to be my classmates' mother. They seem to accept me. I just printed pictures that I took with my Holga and they came out so cool. I'm hooked.

Basic Design is great. I'm learning a lot from the instructor. I wish I was learning a lot in Meteorology but as long as I get a decent grade, I'll be happy. It's a required course, not a fun elective, so passing is the goal.

Here's hoping fall is better than the summer was.
