It's been a turbulent week

GELS went well and concluded well.

Then Sunday morning, the 24th, in trhe predawn darkness, I tripped over some of the clutter in my kitchen and fell atop a small aquarium, breaking th aquarium and gouging my lower left leg.   Derep gouge.  Serious blood loss. Drove myself to Moses Cone (many were amazed that I was able to do that) and wound up having to have surgery.  A Facebook friend drove me home and then another one took me the next day to retrieve my car.  No way could I drive home after surgery.  Didn't even want to try.  Anestesia and I are not friends.

The people at RCC thought I should cancel my class for the week but I said no.  Getting around hasn't been easy but I have managed.

The little ones were difficult yesterday.  5 and 6 year olds.  And it was my idea too...

I am somewhat dubious....

Two of the little ones wanted to go home right away.  With one little girl, I had to distract her while her mother slipped out the back door. Another boy kept asking when they were going to go home.

Almost hope he doesn't come today.

Another boy would not even interact with anyone for a few hours after he arrived. he finally warmed up.


I wonder what today brings.  I will know in a few hours.

Gotta admit I miss my girls.

Meantime, I have posed some questions to my contact at Renaissance Charter school. No classroom pets allowed.  Lesson plans due two weeks in advance. Hmmm.....

I am still inclined to give it a try.  Main driving force remains financial.  By June of next year, virtually all my standing debts should be gone.  Neither do I want my career to end with calamity as it did in Clermont.  My military career came to an end like that and it still does not set well with me.

This I pledge.  First sign of Lord of Flies or administrative ineptitude, and I am North Carolina bound as soon as I can do it, turbulent ending or not.
