[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 297431"] Just got back from all my errands and a very vigorous gym workout! Nancy: I "think" difficult child is stablized on her medications. Ideally, she should take her medications morning and night. She kept on forgetting her morning medications. Soooo, her doctor changed it to nighttime only. She takes none in the morning and a larger dosage at night. Since she's been on Lamictal (plus I think getting a little older helped), she no longer rages. A very good thing. difficult child seems to have found a new place to live. It is unreal. Seems folks are very happy to hear of a renter on disability. Perhaps they think it is a good "catch" these days...don't have to worry about them losing their job. OMG! She convinced the new folks to let her pay a deposit a little at a time over many months. OMG! Some fancy footwork will allow her to pay for half a month's rent until she can get her next check....it's all rather complicated. Have I have mentioned that difficult child has a rather high IQ? She has NO problem going to the food bank for the next few weeks. It is so sad... Star: I have a call into the Salvation Army and husband is going to call Goodwill. Then we are going to pass on the information to a social worker working with difficult child (helping her find a job). Our proposal, if he doesn't find one very soon, help her get a little volunteer job. by the way, difficult child dumped the other social worker (her idea) and found this one herself...this one is much better...new to the case only a few weeks.
