Another light of my life faded away.

Barb, you are still very precious to me. I know you are up there, yelling about the Lakers and laughing, enjoying everything. Down here, we are gonna cry a bit because we miss you already. Thank you for just being there when I needed you the most.

For the last 9 years of teaching I have moved 3 times. The first portable, I had mice since you could see the outside through cracks in the walls. The swamp cooler never cooled off the entire room and the ceiling tiles fell. Usually on a kid I liked. The last two moves have been into brand new portable classrooms. As of yesterday I received keys into one of the worse classrooms on campus. Oh yes, Someone hates me. Similar to my first room, 501 has ripped wallpaper, painted over graffiti and a red wall aka 1970's. Its located in the hub of campus ( ie. it will be nopisy and the center for fights). I am not allowed to paint due to a painter's contract with the DO... So we shall see what I will do.

my doctor will kill me. shrug. My blood pressure is up and I hardly had coffee this weekend. Maybe coffee keeps my bp down?

Pistol isnt a horse, she is the Devil incarnate.

So you lean forward to go. Got it.

Sit back, she slows down. Happiness.

I lean just a tinsy bit and off I slide.

She thinks its funnier than hell.

Her ears hide her horns.



What a brat.



Hear me horse! I wont smuggle in any more apples!

When we are rigid or stuck in our ways, instead of adjusting to the world around us we hunker down, clinging to a concept of reality rather than reality itself. When we do this, we cut ourselves off from life, and we miss out on valuable opportunities, as well as a lot of joy.



the Black Irish Doldrums always offers these feelings. I always take them and make them my own rather than seeing them for what they are. Granted right now I am pissed at myself for falling for the BID yet again. However, since late June, I was stuck. Still alot of work to do. I feel very delicate, fragile like a seed going into the ground to rest before spring.



Thank you for continuing to give me what I need.

Had a nice, ugly tantrum last night.
