I'm so glad that you finally have heat and water now, and that the temps outside are finally rising. I really hope that you have an easy and wonderful week coming up! Your luck has got to change! :hug:

This morning I learned one of the most amazing gentlemen in our
small little county died. He was the teacher, principal and the superintendent.
Of my kids, But more important he was an champion of all kids, adults and
people know matter who or what they were like or did.

He would leave money at the Fowler IGA, the Dollar General and other places, and ask the clerks, to make sure the folks who needed the money when they came through with little amounts of things, and their last dollar's would get it for free. And then he would do some of the most amazing. He collected appliances, and offered them for free, asking only that people when in better situations would pay it forward.
He helped one of my families when he was leaving our schools, being pushed out. Going to another superintendent position, by telling our special ed director to make sure the young man got a placement. Residential and he did, he then passed his card and phone number to the mom, said call anytime of day or night. till placement if you need something. Even if its your other son that needs it. He deserves some help too.

He was one of a kind, he was the one that provided the bus for Derrick to get to his internship and then paid job, in Lafayette In, when it was unknown of being done, it was usually the parent or kids place. But he couldnt' because of seizures.

We are a sad community, better for having known him. Donna:grouphug::grouphug:

ugh, such an day or two.

I had an really weird day yesterday. I had an add to my day at 8:00pm
the night before. An parent I've been working with had gotten ahold
of me and met me at the event I was at. And then at that time, after
the assistant director and I had talked to her for about an hour told
me that the next morning at 8:00am. We were having an meeting with
the co-op at the building. SO we did. Heehee, I also had an doctors
appointment with my cancer NP, at 10:45am, that I hadn't realized I
had till a few days before. So I went to that appointment and I went
a little early, had forgotten with the mess we had. But was supposed
to have blood work first, so they sent me to have it. And I did. The
np was running late. So it helped. The blood work was fine.
But I was having pains in the left breast area. It was odd, it does
come up as phantom pain off and on. But I can usually take deep
breathes and it go away. But not yesterday and it was not going
away for anything, the day just kept getting worse. But I was tired
and finally went to take a nap, and it got better. But I was so tired
I went to bed early and was fine this morning. SO it was good.
I will ask the NP this next Wednesday or make an appointment with
my doctor if it continues, but the NP at that office didn't find a thing
that it could be. So no clue. Anyway, all is good for 6 months.

I was heading to town to take Derrick money but vetoed that It's so
foggy can't see very far ahead, he has enough money till Saturday
and I'm going in then for sure. SO its fine.

Long couple days. Just life.
