Depressed!

The weather was decent today, but the bottom is supposed to fall out over the next couple of days.

I am tired of students who don't give a big rip about anything...and answering emails from their concerned parents about what "we" can do to help their kids.

I am scared about a lot of things transpiring in my world.

'Tis the Christmas season, but worry about things takes away the joy.  My daughter has a medical condition that she is doctoring.  (Hang in, Meg!)  Dear friends of mine are suffering a horrible setback in their lives at the hands of the judicial system.  (I'm praying for you, Major!)  My niece and her extended family are suffering from her injury.  And tomorrow is my sister's birthday, but I didn't get a card sent out!  Other than that, things are just ducky!

I've been playing phone tag with a couple of attorneys over some things that have been hanging for awhile.  I am supposed to get an hour of free legal advice from my Indiana State Teacher's Association membership, and then a discounted rate after that.  Well!  One attorney told me yesterday that it would cost me--at the discounted rate--$450-600 to make out a will!  Nope, sorry!  My situation is very uncomplicated.  I'm not going to go there!  I can only imagine how the other, more complicated, deal will go!  There is an attorney in the family.  I'll try him!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I attended an educational workshop all day yesterday.  Was looking for something new and special--but ya know?  I've been teaching since 1969, and there just ISN'T anything new in education!  We put new words on old ideas and pretend that it's innovative.  Yeah, right!

It looks like I will be Prez. of my radio club a third year, but I am making it clear that this is my last.  Someone else must step up to the plate, or we will have to regroup.  I'm done!

Just got back from a grocery trip.  $110 worth of grub and supplies.  I knew the cupboard was bare!
