My morning was dull (though I did crank some music…mostly
Bob Marley and surely some Kill ‘Em All, I forget). I can’t seem to get moving in terms of anything…my…strength..is..wavering.
The great thing is we
are on SBAC schedule again at work for additional testing. That proved amusing. First, a game of dodge ball for freshman/sophomores…and
this is not the dodge ball of my day with everyone playing and one big pink
bouncy ball. It is 6 small yellow foam
balls and a team of six players on each teams , which were generally comprised
of testosterone-filled adolescent males –except
for my student – who managed to stay in.
Then we headed to karaoke. This
was a show, indeed. My chance at stardom
and yet again, I failed. To be honest,
though, I doubted they had any Mother Hips song ready to go. <grin>
School ended and off to the first group, an AOD with high
schoolers. This is where I belonged in high school
<really> and how the hell I managed to get truly sober at 22 <first
round>, I will never know. I just got
so damn tired of living in that chaotic hell.
What I had in my favor, though, is that pre-traumatic brain injury I
had a relatively “stable” life, so I knew what that looked like…many of these
kids do not and therefor have no point of reference.
Off to my weekly highpoint, nacho pickup, them to the second
group. *I must interrupt here and state
that I was sadly disappointed with the nachos.
There was nothing different about them, but they didn’t meet my
expectations and so…I am off chasing that nacho dragon again.* Groups was longer than intended, but very
necessary…it is really difficult to
parent some children, sometimes.
Home later than expected..and nothing packed nor prepared
for my weekend trip (I would like to leave directly from work), but it’s only a
trip to San Rafael and I will be writing papers all day Saturday, so I don’t have
any extra plans other than maybe go grab a bite to eat (the hotel has Wi-Fi, so
I’m set). Looking forward to this.
Pictures: This is a selfie I took of myself today. You'll notice I'm looking a bit stressed: 23 days, 23 days; A bag of sunflower seeds at group 1; This pink bag is nacho heaven, it's MY heaven. <giggle>
