Thanksgiving

Busy, but not anything "traditional" break.

Mom coming over today, maybe Denise as well.  Regular dinner tonight; Nothing special.

Mom and David driving to Florida tonight to Mom's condo.  Furniture being delivered on Saturday.  So they'll be up there tomorrow through Sunday.  Was not comfortable with her driving down by herself (with the dogs), and she was getting nervous-sick, so David going with her.  She's going back next Thursday with some of her friends..... Now why this could be be coordinated better, who knows.

Denise and Jim are heading towards splits-ville..... Long time coming, I guess.

We are getting a placement tomorrow; Terence, 5 years old.  Current foster family moved out of state and did not do whatever paperwork was needed, which could mean that they were planning on stopping anyway.  David is going to be gone, so I have to really step-up for the next few days.  Nervous.

Was granted Monday off (originally to go to Flordia), but will be dealing with school stuff for Terence.

I thanked David for going with all of this- a lot of changes lately.  He has really never denied me anything, even when he was not 100%.  Very thankful for this.

Other stuff:
Mr. Schudel informed me on Monday that he will be leaving at the end of the year, which will probably screw up my practicum for next year.  He referenced a comment that I had made (Freeport), where distractions prohibit me from doing a good job.  Glad he told me now.  Need to inform Dr. De and start the job search during winter break.

Chance and Oak are doing fine.  Very different personalities, but getting along.  Chance is spraying a bit, especially after a bit of positioning-play.  Frustrating, but expected.

Way behind on work (grading) and feeling the same in regards to school work.  Have a lot to do on both areas.

Going to be 60's today, so waiting for the grass to dry to do one last mow of the season.  Tomorrow, temperatures to plummet and hold.

Will be cleaning the house once David leaves.  Hopefully, it will not be too late.  Terence to be here around 9:30 tomorrow morning.

With so much going on, and so much uncertainty, I am feeling a bit sick to my stomach.  Circus dream on Sunday (chaos).  A couple of moments of near-tears yesterday.  Not a good sign.

Things to do; things to do.
