It's been nearly a week since Stephen and I separated and, in that time, so much has had to have been dealt with.
The kids are holding up as best as they can. From what I can tell, their emotional responses have been normal and healthy. It's hard on them, certainly, but I think they are managing the stress and sadness very well. I've been spending small amounts of time with them almost daily and we've both been helping them to communicate their feelings and (hopefully) deal with them constructively.
I found a place to live yesterday, which is a huge weight off of my shoulders. All week, I've been surrounded by supportive friends and coworkers, who have offered help in just about every way possible. I could not have survived so well without them, but I am so relieved to have a place of my own.
Work goes on. I'm staying on at the Pub through the winter and I start my year at the SEER School on Monday. I have my textbooks ready and I'm excited to teach biology this year. I'm also trying to align my schedule to take on a weekly radio show at KCAW. Staying busy is what I do best.
