( continues...) = good.
- Back to school on Thursday. Good day. High point.
- Back to school on Friday. TERRIBLE day. Major low point. Also, getting sick.
- Yesterday: still teaching, Saturday school. Low point, as still sick and it's Saturday. Then spend rest of day feeling bad.
- Pizza at John's Pizzeria with friends. High point! But home to bed immediately after.
- Today: Much much grading. Still sick. Blah. Don't have a voice - how am I going to teach tomorrow? No idea.
So, yeah. Overall, a bad two weeks. But enough high points that it isn't absolutely terrible, I guess. Sorry I haven't been checking in - I should be back now. Also sorry this post is so long.
Hugs to Gris. What a hellish couple of weeks.
In cheery news, Amazon.com just recommended me this book. How did it know that a children's book about penguins would make me smile??
Oh, poor poor Gris. I'm so sorry for your loss, and for everything.
I think children's books about penguins make everything smile. Including inanimate objects.

Thanks. I'm actually feeling quite cheerful, in spite of all. The penguin book helped, and so did just writing all that out.
My grandmother has been an invalid for about 8 years now, and the visit on Christmas was terribly sad. She hadn't moved from bed in 2 months, and only recognized us very briefly before going glassy-eyed. She clearly was ready to go. Her passing is sad, as such always is, but it was time. And now, my grandfather, who has 20/20 vision and perfect hearing, and is generally in excellent health, will be able to leave the house again. He can go to church again, which is wonderful, especially as he was on the board for nearly 40 years.
Happy Birthday MiracleMan!
Hi Gris! Good to see you. I'm sorry for your loss, but yes it is a blessing when it is time.
I need to learn how to play bridge one day. DH's grandmother was going to teach me, but it never happened. On my list.
I've bribed the children with pizza to get them to finish the tree. I really want it to go to the curb tonight.
It's like Gris had my holiday- except I drove to Louisiana.
Wishing you much peace and comfort, Gris.
Someone stop me from eating all my mother in law's cookies before Mr. Jane gets home. It would be thoughtless and rude to eat them all before he gets here, but they are. so. good.
Welcome back, Gris! Sorry for your loss. Sitting around waiting for her passing must have been hellish. That's quite a tale, the last couple weeks of you.
