The stomach pain has started back up again ..

They changed meds on me.  Hope that will help.

Just commented on school starting again on facebook and, for the first time, used Clermont Middle's name in the post.  I had kept the identify of the school a secret until now. I don't feel as though I owe them that anymore, particularly after I trashed them on the Great Schools site.

But now that I have done that, I need to put all the trauma from last school year behind me. It's over. It no longer affects me.  It was a lesson learned, albeit a painful one, and I need to move on. I've never been good at letting go of things.  That has harmed me and others and I don't want that to happen this go around.

Looking at going up to the DC area this coming up weekend.  Haven't really taken me a "vacation " all summer and I need to.

School starts back up in the Carolinas fairly soon and I have tentatively decided to go back to subbing and helping out at Rock Middle again.  They seem happy to have me back.  It's already obvious How I feel about being home.
They came and put a tarp over a portion of my roof.  We'll see how things go the next big blow we have.

I went by for a visit today.  They are indeed looking forward to having me around again and, I think I discovered something I already knew - I feel the same way.

Put a message on the Clermont Middle facebook page wishing them the best year ever.  They review everything so I doubt this will appear.  Still, I needed to do that. It's part of my coping with what happened and then moving on.

It's time.

Stopped at Sagebrush, in Reidsville, for dinner.  The first two people I saw were former students, one of them 21 years old now.  I guess, whether I recognize it or not, I am legend.  And I am so honored to be.
