Wednesday- What's New?
Good Morning Everyone. I'm back to bed in just a sec...it's 2 AM here. I had a hard day today. School is quite taxing for special ed staff in April and May every year because of the end of the year requirements. We have lots of meetings and every meeting requires preparation, testing and paperwork, including reports. I'm always a bit frantic at this point. This year it was worse because I was covering another school (a maternity leave). That therapist came back on last Monday, but the very same day another therapist went out a month and a half early on her maternity leave. Guess who was assigned to cover her bigger and harder school? Don't worry- I raised holy hell... I told my boss that my dog just died and I need at least two weeks of normal activity before I can load on more. Luckily she is a dog lover and was totally sympathetic. It looks like all of our therapists are going to share this load for now. WHEW!
I picked up Darla's ashes tonight too. It brought on a new wave of grief. I felt like I was carrying her home. Today at work there were two other good friends of mine that were grieving their old dogs- both female. We all got such joy from our dogs (and madness- of course!). We three have a great network to navigate the next few weeks.
Relay For Life is coming up and I'm usually very active in that but this year I've stepped back thank goodness. It's going to be a disappointing year moneywise, I can tell. The economy and general mood of the country is down.
I guess that's my little book today. I hope I can drift right back to sleep. Make it a good day if you can everyone!

Good Morning Julia and friends,
Ugh.. today I got up too early again. Went to bed at midnight and woke up at 4:30. I have a lot of running around today and think I will lay down for an hour before I have to go.
Julia, I am really sorry about your dog. It is such a hard thing to go through. Been there many times. It's never easy. It is good that you are remembering the good.
I am kind of miffed about taking my sister to court today. Her x-husband keeps calling everyone but me to take her today. They are saying immediate family. Which I think means the mother father, sister brother, father --- The wife of the man that was killed. Which, she claims she is going to Texas today. This is who the prosecutor wants to talk to. They believe she wrote a letter and was coerced into writing it. If she doesn't show up, why should I? I think they are wasting their time today.
I have done so much for my sister, the x- husband calls everyone but me. My brothers, my sister, and has never thanked me for doing anything. This morning I received an email from my brother asking if I can take her to court. I told him no, I have things to do myself. I believe, they just want me to give her a ride, so her x doesn't have to come and pick her up. The justice center is about an hour away from me. So it is not an easy jaunt.
Oh well, just venting...
Everyone have a great day. I don't think I will answer my phone today.
Peace

Mary - good for you for saying NO! We just have to look after ourselves sometimes. Her ex should be there.
Yep, ingnore the phone today. When they complain about it, remind them that you told them you had things to do so of course you weren't available to answer the phone.
Have a great day!

Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

Hi Julia, OMG, Marlene told me about Darla last night. I am so sorry to hear that. I had no idea. Was she sick? We saw her at Christmastime and she seemed fine.� This is the first time I have seen you online in like forever. I was waiting for you to befriend me again like forever. So sorry you missed the meeting last night, but I understand. Take care.

Thanks Karen. No, she was normal until she started having seizures on the night she died. Luckily we were with her at the end to hold her. She was scared and her heart was healthy still so she didn't die quickly. And of course it was midnight so we had to drive to Stockton to get a vet to euthanize her. I'll be fine- I just need some time.
