Is morning past?
Good morning again. My hands and feet are very chilly. Three is a windshield of minus 13 out there and it seems to settle in at the bone level. Brr... It’s cold. Fingers feel like sticks. We brought with us the Kush ball so we could manipulate our fingers around some loose play with it. Ok, ok ... shhh ... we're over that part, hmm?Hmm, just noticing some papers on the board ... there are a couple of documents left by the old staff. Maybe we could take that down for the new teacher if she chooses to take the job.
I forgot to wear a coat that has long sleeves ... I'm not sure what to do with that. It sure is chilly, hmmm? Oh, I'm sorry, we mentioned that already.
Hmm, I think we're pretty lost. Rich must be in this morning, because he called to figure out whether we had Marsha's gloves in our car ... I was embarrassed not to have noticed, but they were in so Rich is going to stop by and pick them up. Feel bad for her not to have something for her poor fingers ... they are going to be froze if they don't have gloves. I hope he can get them to her quickly. They were black on a black seat so I didn't notice them, plus I do so little with the back seat. Maybe if I would have put my bag in there, but it's been so light that I've been putting it in the front seat ... Ok, shhh ... man you are in a mood this morning?!
Just talked to a few clients, but otherwise with the talkative one in another room in the morning, it's pretty quiet here. Hmm, spoke too soon. She's back in the room again. Sister has her taping in the multipurpose room so as not to be disturbing her. I think I'm a little sensitive to the sound of voices today ... or maybe just general talking ... I need some quiet in my head and I feel if I had a pitcher, I'd really load my system up.
Nothing much has happened since the last time we were writing. I'm not really sure of what to be thinking right now. We are doing a lo of observations with the group ... looking up every few seconds, but it seems ok. Most people are hard at work. One is having a hard time finding something to be doing ... I think she usually reads magazines, but most likely she's seen the magazines that are here. I think I really have to bring in the National Geographic ones I have at home. There really are quite a few and they are pretty cool to look at. I keep thinking that I would like to look at them first, but there is never enough time.
Wow ... I've got an entire half hour here. I suppose I should have brought something else, but this computer is very old it is an Access Aptiva and is over 11 years old. Aptiva is an old IBM. I thought about my new computer again. I think I'm going to check the mail when I get home if I can just remember and then see if I can't get my taxes taken care of. I sure hope so ... I will have to stay up to make it worthwhile in using during the evenings and I will have to be bringing it back and forth so I can use the notebook for work.
Hmm, we were talking to the group ... we were telling her about the new teacher who is going to try us out tomorrow. I don't know too much about her except I think her name is Robin. That set up a conversation from the group about how nice they are going to be with her. They really are generally nice ... just they aggravate each other with their idiosyncrasies. Hehehe ... who me? Nooooo ... well maybe sometimes. It's the result of woking in a small fishbowl. I think we all need to get out of here for a while.
Fishyman is going to be leaving very soon - ten days to be honest. He's got a whole lot to be doing before he can go. Most of it is now outfitting the boat and getting the trailer hitch connected to the car. He also has to test out the motor at a Marine. I think he's going to ...
Hmm, they are having fun with me now. They discovered that they could look in the boys bathroom mirror because the door is open so the ones not facing me can still see me. One of them was describing what I looked like. They are very observant and noticed that I'd not pulled my hair back in a barrette. Whoops! Better take care of that soon.
Anyway ... I think he's going to get the hitch taken care of on Friday and then he's going to start picking up the stuff he needs for the boat. He said that he would be getting most of the supplies at the Marina … I thought that sounded expensive, but he didn’t seem to think so. Maybe they are more personalized in helping him to make sure he gets everything that he’s supposed to have.
Hmm, we’re back in the office now so we’re going to need getting our stuff pulled together. I’m not sure if we’ll need anything before we get moving along. I see that the Qnotes are out and I don’t remember having to do anything else. Probably lots of stuff … I think we’ve got a meeting on Monday … there I just went to the DSP to make sure she fills in some paperwork so I can prepare something before that.
We also have a meeting with Holly after Thinking Group on Friday to be going over the gestures for the songs that we’ll be signing to. I’ve been thinking it might be easier to do something with the still pictures so we can give a copy to each classroom so they can practice in their own rooms. Sister thought they might be able to better prepare if their staff helped them out. I am sure she’s thinking that I don’t have time for anything, nor Holly, but we have got to be doing something.
Ahh, one of the staff has sent one of their individuals in with some papers to remind me of some goals I hadn’t finished yet. I haven’t the faintest idea where they went or how far we’ve progressed with them. Shoot, this is the tough stuff. Hmm, didn’t we finish those goals? I think we are caught up, but right now everyone has gone to chapel … not a good time to go in and ask.
I have a note here saying one of the two names we were behind on her … but the one that is marked off has a check mark. Ok, we’re not going to get excited … Let’s just take the next one on the list? Hmm, what’s more important … the Qnote or the goals? Or, the annuals? Man this is bad. I don’t know which is more important.
