I don't do New Year's resolutions. If I need to make a change I make it. I also don't tell a story if I'm in the midst of it but this story has been making itself known to those around us so I'll go ahead and share it with you guys as well. Short version? I've suspended my schooling and Damm was put on academic probation. There's more to it than that, of course. We have appealed the probation; he has two hundred plus credits but only half of those count towards his degree and he's a student in good standing with an excellent GPA and he's a ROTC cadet with the full support of his cadre. (In case you're confused, academic probation means that he doesn't get any more financial aid, a big problem since we live off financial aid.) The decision to suspend my schooling was a long time in coming. We had thought about it before but it never felt like the right time. This Christmas, however, I noticed that I wasn't recovering like I usually do
Two of we, plus three of ours, makes five of us.
