Just Feeling Our Way Around This World

This morning, we're a little tired, down, and introspective.  We'd come home last night from work fairly early, but we had the chills.  So, we sent our encouraging thoughts to the Cubbies and crawled into bed with two blankets and our stuffed dog.  From there, we fell promptly to sleep and woke up only once during the night.   

This morning, we felt much better even though the Cubs season didn't make it.  We're hoping the best for them and any dashed hopes they might be feeling.  We think you did a super bang-up job Cubbies!

The Thinking Group went pretty good, though we kept everyone moving forward pretty fast.  I had the feeling toward the end that we'd tired them out.  They held up, but looked kinda numb.  They did seem to enjoy themselves, especially the part where they got to eat the fruit loops.  *Sheepish grin*

Most of the afternoon was spent with the behavior problems of one of our individuals.  We wrote four pages of directions to the DSP who had given us a list of yesterday's problems with the individual.   She indicated there were 12-15 immediate issues.  So,we addressed each one in turn, then sent it to Sr. Tess for approval. 

We'll see how our recommendations are received this morning.  It would mean whole changes in the DSP's current perspective. The problems include everything from disruptive burping to throwing an object at the staff.  *Heavy sigh*

We also were able to give back to Forest Path by sharing with him our new computer flowcharting program.  He had had the need to make mechanical drawings.  Hehe - after we left him alone, he played with it pretty good!

Today, we are going to be treating ourselves with a visit to the good Dr. M.  It's been a week now and we feel very ready.  Hmm, our agenda?  We're going to have to progress our finances.  We did stop at the bank last night and made a couple of deposits.  We now know our balance. 

We haven't been able yet look trough the bills or correspondences.  Hmm, maybe we better summarize the week in a quick 10 minutes, then spend the rest of his time going through the mail?  This really doesn't sound fun, but it most likely is important? *Double Heavy Sigh,* but holding back on the whimper!
