1- There was lots of Aicardi Conference Planning silliness this week. It was the pretty typical committee breakdowns with miscommunications and misunderstandings. I am fairly aggravated by things at the moment. It will be sorted out in the end, but at the moment it’s just more fodder for me leaving the “organization” after the conference.
2- The City of DeKalb Advisory Commission on Disabilities meeting went well. It looks like the mayor is reappointing me for another two years. We have some great plans for the future. The only crazy thing from this meeting was the commission having to deal with an individual who is going around town pretending to be a member. It wouldn’t be so bad if this individual wasn’t aggressively confronting business owners and landlords and threatening them with his nonexistent power to levy fines. We are tackling this the way every commission tackles issues; we are issuing a strongly worded letter.
3- Caitlin had a good, healthy week. We were even able to go out and walk in Downtown DeKalb thanks to some good weather. We are getting a Tapas restaurant there, which is kind of cool. It was a nice walk, but it is frustrating that a good number of businesses aren’t even remotely ADA compliant.
4- Caitlin’s transition planning has started. Next fall she will be in Kindergarten at a new school. Change frightens me.
5- Caitlin’s OT is also leaving the Elgin Easter Seals. This really sucks. We like her a lot, and she’s been with Cait for years.
