Being written July 2nd, actually. Just found some writing from the 28th. See below.

10:20pm - in bed - at Eden Wood - a/c - no chasing/screaming/hitting/grabbing/running/cursing/biting/wandering at a run - actual food - campers who listen - campers who interact positively with one another - cool weather - chilly breezes (sweatshirt necessary) - etc. ... is this heaven?! Well, not exactly. Eleanor - smokes the "non-cigarettes," yells at everything and can't tell if she is kidding or not, heavy as all-get-out (had to push her all the way up the hill), total assist eating, incontinence, high maintenance, but also thanks you and expresses exactly what she needs and wants. It's so different being with verbals and participators after last week. I'm getting used to (well, fighting against, really) the immediate thought "they're whining!" when they're simply just able to verbalize their desires as opposed to grabbing/pinching/biting/throwing/running/hitting - what a luxury! And get up and walk - no worrying about tripping over people sleeping at the doors! but I do really miss CF - friends, space, activities, chaos, noise, friends, etc. Sigh. Night!
Addendum from July 2, 2009:
I have more notes from this day, but I can't find them right now. I know they're somewhere, though!
More later.
Love!
