Well time flies when you work every single day, doesn't it? In theory, I am feeling a little panicky about it because I have committed my life away. However, in practice, when I get there, I feel pretty happy, mostly the people are nice and it's a pleasant place to be. And although I do look at the clock (who doesn't?) it's never the way it was on some days in the schools when I couldn't wait for that last half hour to go by. So that is a pretty good sign, despite the paltry pay I receive for my services. Which will hopefully not be forever. And I am home by early afternoon. And I have a regular weekly paycheck, for a predictable amount each time.
Today is the day we say farewell to our pastor, who is leaving the church after 20 years. Megan and I have put together a bunch of photos and a clip of him speaking into a video to show after the service. Both kids are carrying 'kites' into the church and then we have a brunch afterward. Brian is bogged down with work for his final weeks and final exams, but he's going to be unable to miss this day. He only has two more weeks of school before his finals. Megan has until the end of the month.
Speaking of Megan, there is still no word on either of the jobs for which she applied, but we know that so far, at least for one, that doesn't mean she didn't get it. I'm pretty sure the town isn't going to hire her to guard (their loss) but they may hire her as an assistant coach, they needed more kids to sign up before they were going to add more coaches. Allegedly.
Yesterday I took her driving out on the parkway. I realized that her birthday and her road test are just around the corner and she has almost no highway driving experience. Most of her driving has been on local two-lane roads, so there isn't even a lane to change into. She does have experience driving in stop and go traffic with stop signs and traffic lights and pedestrians, but nothing at high speeds. So that was a little harrowing but we made it. We're going to have to do it more often now, that's the only way she will get used to it. And I really hope they repeal that orange sticker part of Kyleigh's law!
And in other news, it's the holiday weekend just next weekend!!! We were down at the beach yesterday for the team practice, and drove by our beach club on the way home. This was a quick winter, I guess because of all the working and work-seeking that went on!! And Kevin continues to recover, he is now taking an NSAID for his shoulder as prescribed by the ortho and he says it hurts a lot less. He started PT for it, and is signed up for two weeks to start.
He also went to his new regular doctor (after the other left amidst a shameful illegal steroid scandal) and found out his cholesterol is higher than ever. He independently decided to lower the dose of one of the vitamins because on the bottle it recommended half of what he was taking. So now he has to go back to the higher dose and go back in six months for another test. Something was a little out of whack with the thyroid, to, but the doctor said to retest that in six months as well.
