Eh, it's been ok. I've been feeling blah lately.
Hey Jenny. How's Joel feeling?

He's doing a somersault up against me as I type (he likes to hang upside down), so I'm taking that as a good sign. :lol: Tonight will tell the tale. :shrug:

Probably good then that he hasn't eaten much....

Nope, he had some toast mid-afternoon, and a few crackers earlier. Plus he fell asleep on me this afternoon - boy he has gotten heavy ! I actually dozed off a little bit too.
How's school going for you so far?

I love my classes - the kids are great. Unfortunately I don't really have a room of my own, so I meet in a different room every period. That's really wearing thin - it's hard to stay organized when everything is in a crate on wheels.

I would imagine - is there any chance of you getting a classroom of your own eventually?

Yes, they're building a new wing with 6 new classrooms. It's supposed to be ready by Christmas break, but since groundbreaking is tomorrow, I seriously doubt that we'll see that happen.

Yes, that would be extraordinarily efficient of them. :lol: Maybe by spring break instead. :shrug:

I'm sure. :kiss:
Well, I need to finish up Joel's bedding so everything will be nice and fresh tonight *prays fervently* Have a good evening! :wave:

Emotional evening. :dazzle:
I just this minute came home from my neighbor Betty's. Things fell into place quickly in the last few days. A nephew was located. At first, we were worried about just what his interest was in his aunt's situation, since he had little contact with her over the years. For a while, we were sure he was going to have her placed in an institution. But it was decided that she's going home with him to Albany. I met him tonight and he seems like a decent guy.
I knelt down in front of Betty to say good-bye and she said "I'll be good. I promise I won't throw anything away anymore."
She thanked me for taking care of her and I asked her not to forget me.
Her little suitcase has one skirt, her bathing suit a handbag and a pink straw hat. That's all that's left.
Her house is scheduled to go to sheriff's sale on Nov. 4. Because of our intervention, a realtor is going to try to sell it for back taxes before that date. And, no matter what happens, Betty will be in a safe place.
To the neighbors here who just don't get what we did, I know I'll never make them understand. I don't care. I have no regrets for doing what was right.

Wow Dot. That's a great thing you did for her! You are definitely someone I would want as my neighbor.

It was a small group of us who worked on this together.
It shouldn't be a special thing, Jo.
People should care.
It makes me sick that so many don't.
It's such a "me me me" world.

Hello Fishy.
And thanks.
Really, I hope everyone understands that I told this story so everyone can know they can make a difference...no matter how small.
If I had done nothing and Betty's house was sold out from under her and she wound up on the street or in a state institution...I wouldn't have been able to live with myself for not at least trying.

It is, unfortunately. I see this all the time at WDW.
