Good things that have happened today:
1) Found out that my antidepressant finally went generic, cutting my copay from $40 a month to $8 a month.
2) Tom got some good followup from a phone interview he had a week or so ago.
3) My last reimbursement check has come in.
4) It is my last day at work before VACATION!

It's the best I can do for scritches.

Are you sure the new kitty isn't a Himalayan? They're Siamese-Persian crosses that look like long-hair Siamese. And a trip to have around the house!
Oh, poor kitty Josie. I'm sorry, GC. It's always so hard.
New kitty looks very cuddly and sweet. KITTEN! FUN!
Gah, just woke up. One of my ex-students texted me last night with what seemed to be a suicidal message (at 11:30) and I soent an hour trying to trace the number and calling and texting back frantically, trying to see who it was.
She finally called me back, and I spent an hour on the phone with her. Her cousin had been shot in a drive-by, and then people came to the hospital and tried to kill him. He was being transferred to a different hospital for safety, but he wasn't stable, and died.
She was with him (long complicated fucked up backstory here I will NOT detail, but it gave me a heart attack) that night. She's a good kid, and it was a mess.
What a tragic, fucked up, avoidable mess.
Oh, Erin, how sad. I am glad you could be there for her.

Aiyeee! I don't expect you'll be getting those kind of texts from your students at (I hope) your new school.
Oh, Erin, I'm sorry. She doesn't know me, but if you see her, give her a hug from me.
