Free Dinner for the DD

Today I heard from the Provost's admin assistant. I will be meeting with both the President and Provost on the 16th to discuss my recommendations from my thesis. In my ideal world, we sit down and chat and they say "hey, how about we give you a job here doing this stuff." Coincidentally, that is my kiddo’s birthday, the child who inspired my passion.

Also, the VA called today, my evaluation for my disability claim is scheduled for the 29th. Unfortunately, it is not with my regular therapist. The idea of having to recount things to a stranger is terrifying but the possibility of finally being validated for what happened to me is something I need right now. I know it happened, but I need the military to acknowledge it.

This evening, my older kiddo took me out to eat. He said if I would be his DD, he’d buy me dinner. Of course! I got to hang out with my kid and got free dinner out of the deal.
