Up and Down

Took it easy last night but there was some major happenings upstairs. There was loud yelling going on and one of the neighbors called the police. There were 7 officers including S.W.A.T. They would not answer the door so the police got on the megaphone to get them to answer. It was pretty surreal let me tell ya. Everyone is okay and no one was taken away but sheesh. The noise level had been pretty good for the last month or so but they were pretty rowdy Thursday night in addition to last night.

I got a letter from the State of California Department of Social Services dated 5/18/10. It was in response to the letter I sent on 5/4/10 requesting Non-identifying information about my birth parents. The letter said that it was an agency or relinquishment adoption and the information should be obtained from the agency my adoption was through which is the Santa Clara County Adoption Agency on Julian St. in Downtown San Jose. It is just a few miles from where I live! Whoa! Through my research and help from Diane and Susan (love you ladies!!) I found out that I can get their identifying information because they relinquished their rights when they gave me up to the agency. I have left a message on voicemail and will send the information request to them. I still have to mentally process the prospect of knowing their identities. Even if I do get the information I am not sure how I will proceed yet. Wow... just wow...

I am still eating soft foods and actually not even logging food because I haven't been eating very much. I got on the scale this morning and it said 256 which is another 2 lbs. down. That is 1 lb. away from my lowest weight since I started. I am not sure it will be permanent but it sure was good to see that number again. Note to self: Need to measure. Hope you have a good day. Until next time..
