One of the first things I noticed this morning was that my eye swelling was down.  Shelley was right – it was allergies (maybe she should become my doctor) and a little cortisone helped it right away.

The kids were going to dad’s for the long weekend, which makes me kinda sad, but the bus is getting fixed up, so we couldn’t have gone on my NorCal road trip, anyway.   I got busy with “the next indicated thing” and wrote another letter to the school, this time I included the owner.  I heard back almost immediately (from the owner) which was a good thing.  I honestly think that they shall hire someone else, but I shall still go through in getting my degrees recognized in Switzerland so that I have that ready should it work out.  I need a secured job before I move there.  I may be adventurous, but I’m not stupid.

Juvenile hall – I mentioned to one of the supervisors that I had interviewed there about 9 years earlier for a position and thought I did really well.  I didn’t get any further. At the same time, I also interviewed at the county jail for a CO position and thought I had bombed the interview – I was called back again.  Obviously I didn’t get either job, but it goes to show how our perception is very different from those of others.  I’m reading a book by Jane Nelsen and she mentioned this very thing. 

Tonight was the first night of parenting class and Jen is always a joy to work with.  Plus, she was there to support me, literally and figuratively when my bra strap (on its last threads on one side) became unhooked.  Hanging high and low was quite disconcerting to me, yet Jen was there for me.  She's truly a breast friend.

 Billy Idol sang to me on the drive home.  Mags enjoys listening to him and I love that my girl digs Billy Idol.  I did, too, when I was 12.  Maybe it’s an undocumented female developmental stage.  A waxing red crescent moon hung low in the night sky as it began its climb, which I find to be so spiritually beautiful..  Perhaps my magic is coming back.
