Herding ducks

Almost, but not quite as bad as herding cats. But I have to line up all the ducks for Chaos again because...

  • The free paediatrician managing all of the ASD nonse has moved to Cape York or somewhere that's an embuggerance to get to.
  • Leaving myself to break in a new paediatrician
  • AND I have to round up all the paperwork that will see Chaos in a special school for her higher education
  • Which might also mean that I'll also have to break in a new psychiatrist because people just love having things closer. And I'm one of them.

The good news is that there's a superclinic where most if not all of this will be the right price (free!) and we will possibly be bouncing from office to office within the same labyrinth.

The really good news is that I'm getting better at getting the relevant ducks in line and chasing after paperwork lets me soothe the little fragment of my psyche that likes hunting things.

No, I have never hunted a living thing. Chasing down inanimate objects is as far as I go. Promise.

BUT I have already lined up meds, and set things underway again. I just have to chase people for bits of paper before I make a real appointment. And chase Beloved to assist in the agent-hunting because samples of the correct dimensions are needed. And chase myself and my little darlings into continuing to nibble the household debris to death...

Am I sure that herding ducks is easier than herding cats?

Payday! Time to get broke

It's the payday just before school, so today will be full of shoes, socks and jocks. Water bottles and hats. And hoping that Officeworks will have the shiznit we need in time.

I have some money squirreled away, just in case. I hope it won't be necessary, though.

Today's big challenge will be keeping the kids awake all day. They've got used to the old siesta and school won't let you take a napnap. The barbarians.

With luck, we should have everything

This time for sure

All my gassing yesterday came to exactly nowt. The doctor's phone was engaged. I ran out of both impetus and spoons to go do the book thing. And the floor never got swept.

Blargh.

BUT... I did get more nibbling done. And I have to re-nibble the kitchen countertop before encouraging some of my family to help clear off the fridge-top because the stuff up there is bad.

No more hoarding egg cartons. Nobody wants them any more. Best to recycle them

Lovely dawn, this morning

I woke up before it happened, so I got to see most of it.

Chaos' appointment went well enough. Regular appointments on a yearly basis with reports from other experts seem to be the order of the day. Finding said experts to suit my budget [$0] is going to involve a lot of running about.

Occupational therapy, speech therapy, psychiatry... I'm willing to bet that none of those are exactly cheap. Even with health benefits and whatnot.

So many 'Igottas'... I gotta
