Back to the Grind

Yesterday was the first "teacher day" at school.  I went in because there is too much to do to stay home!  The sub was there, and we talked some...but the big bulk of stuff to do was attend meetings and training on our new district software.  I was up at 4:00 AM, and didn't get a nap after school before my radio club meeting in the evening.  Back to the grind!

I got lots of attention at the district breakfast first thing in the morning.  I think there were a number of people who were surprised to see me on my feet!  I have found a way to do my hair to (almost) cover up the incision on my scalp so that I don't have to wear a scarf.  It isn't pretty, but it's better than the alternative.  Just another thing to get through...

Today, Grandma Judy and I will take Robin to a 45-minute "Meet the Teacher" meeting for Kindergarten.  My little girl is going to school for her first day tomorrow!

You know, addictions are weird things.  After all I have been through, the urge to smoke is still strong, and it defies all logic and intelligence.  I thought I could get through this just on strength of will, but I am thinking that I will avail myself of the newest medications to get past the "habit" part of recovery.  And so it goes...

Will be awaiting the plumber this afternoon.  Something has happened with the sewer cleanout just outside the house.  I have raw sewage bubbling up in front.  Fun, fun!

Busy day!
