Moving Slowly into the Next Day

Good Morning ... Just a short one today. Not so much time. We are still in a waiting mode. Waiting on stuff to come in from school. Yesterday, we received something about our financial aid papers going through. I’m not sure if it said that the loan was approved, but it seemed pretty close to that. I think we have to wait for something in the mail, then send a six letter code into the school. It looks like the transcript hasn’t gotten there yet either. I’m not sure if that kind of stuff still goes through hard mail.

It’s hard to wait, but we’re willing to sit it out. I would like to know if we got in all the right papers, just to make sure. We’ll try again to get a hold of the school today, this time by phone.

We have some catching up to do at work today. Yesterday, we worked on CARF, but got off-track by Sister and some staff. We’ll try again today. I think we’re going to have to be less picky in what we’re doing, because at this rate, it will take too long. We started looking for imbedded words within the paragraph instead of settling for paragraph headings. Not sure how or when we made that switch. Just gotta iron out that wrinkle.

Sister gave me a couple of tasks to do yesterday. She was in "a bunch" as far as the computer guy coming in today. She didn’t want to believe me that the software comes with the computer. And, to my fault, I had the anti-virus software at home because I’d loaded in on the new computer. Then she wanted to take me back to the staff resource room which is like a storage room for everything.

I’ve been here before with her. She very slowly looks at all the shelves grumbling about who put things out of order. She was trying to squeeze out some space for more records she wants to put back there. UGH As could be figured, we’ve gotten a couple of assignments now from this tour De’ Force. I’m horrible with bending and stretching exercises.

Then, we got the assignment to write an entry for the newsletter. We’ve been doing this since the beginning of time, but she always pops it on us just before going to press, so it’s like an emergency request. Not sure yet what we are going to be writing about. Something about the center, to be sure. Hmm, what’s new? Maybe something about staff training? Hmm, think I did something like that the last time or two. Maybe we’ll think it up on the drive to work.

We had a surprise visitor last night. YAYYYYY!! Turns out this weekend he’d gone fishing with his new group of friends. He said he’d caught the fourth, fifth, and sixth biggest fish. Not sure if this was a good idea. Maybe it’s too soon to outshine his new friends. I think it’s a big group he’s now going with ... maybe 20-25 men. It didn’t sound like my kind of weekend ... I’m not so for a weekend of sitting out in the sun in a small boat with bad food and then spending the night playing poker. But, to each his own. I think deep down he is a guys guy. Hehe

This new club he joined due to some of his other friends. They are supposed to go fishing like 8 times. In general, once a month. Yeeks, Go for it. Just shower before coming over :) I hadn’t talked to him through the day ... but, he said we left a phone message that was seeming pretty pathetic. Had no reason to doubt him. We barely make a week without seeing him before we’re starting to get frumpy. *Sigh* all better now!

We had one other nice thing happen ... The lady from my father’s estate emailed. She said they are soon ready to give out another small amount. It’s not a lot, but will hopefully allow me to pay off the computer right away and having borrowed from our friend on the car repairs. YAYYYYYY! Good stuff!

The next tough part? I think we’re going to need going down to the mailbox. We’ll give it until the end of the day. This kind of thing could get a person like us a little over excited in a threatening manner. None of us like going down there. But, maybe we’ve gotten news from the school or loan company that only comes through the mail :( We’re going to be brave ... just not right away ... AFTER work!

Time now that we have to be getting in the shower. It’ll be ok, It’ll be ok. Maybe in about five minutes though. No sense rushing the morning. Today is one of those times we’re a little up in the air. Hmm ... something to do with one of our ears ... we’re not hearing correctly out of our right one. Probably standard reasons, but our trying to fix it didn’t help. Everything in time, right?

Maybe one more quick smoke. Thoughts drift back to last night ... Ahh, that’s something to smoke about! Ok, Ok ... need to be moving on. It’ll be ok ...
