Let me start by saying COVID sucks. 

My mom's double mastectomy got bumped to the end of this month. She has progressed to a stage 3. I am freaking out and in tears regularly. I don't see how a hospital can see this surgery as non-emergent considering she has a rapidly moving cancer and has gone from the first lump found to stage 2 then 3 in less than 6 weeks, but sure, bump her out another 2 weeks... it will be cool. 

SS20 is doing really good getting off his lithium. He was at 900 mg and he is down to 450 mg as of a couple of days ago. He seems to be doing fine and not having any withdrawal symptoms or mood changes. I will be so glad when he is fully off of it. Talking to him the other day he told me that he really hated all those tests but he was glad that he doesn't have "bipolar anymore". I didn't correct him that it was a misdiagnosis from the beginning but just said me too. I think it is easier for him that way... Not sure if that is right or not, but that is what I did. 

We have a video conference with the attorney for SS15 on Friday. He STILL hasn't gotten us the freaking court date for the contempt we filed in APRIL. I am pissed. I just want this last hearing and to be done. I want her found guilty and then just continue on with our lives. This hearing is also supposed to put and end to her thinking she is owed alimony even though we have proven DH over paid her by more than 11K. God she is a greedy b**tch -- who by the way still hasn't turned over her income for CS from the hearing in March. 

My kids will be home in 19 days! 10 weeks is so long. I hate it. I know they have fun with their dad and they miss him when they are with me too, but it just rips my heart out. Don't worry, they never know how I feel. I fully encourage them in their relationship with their dad and SM- who is about to pop any minute! Poor thing is over due by 5 days. I know she is just miserable :( 

Last but not least- DH and I have decided to take a mini vacation (very hush hush because he isn't allowed to travel right now) this weekend. We are going to drive up to the Eastern Shore and just have some us time. I can't wait!
