THINKING OF OTHERS TODAY

This has nothing to do with anything.
I thought it was cute.

Here's the deal. For some reason while I am having a nice lovely time, those that I care about are NOT.


Larry had an accident and hurt his back. Yikes. He's in pain.
He goes to see the doc tomorrow. Your back, like your feet can make your life a misery when they hurt. I'm no help at all there... all I can do is pester him on the phone at this point or on the computer. Waiting for the weekend to be helpful. Crap. The distance makes it difficult. My car is not well. Double crap. Otherwise I'd be there spoiling him and getting up ultra early to make the drive to my town to work. Poor guy.


I am concerned too for crazy4coens. Her computer is on the fritz and she cannot post or do much response. She has other things going on in her life right now that are unhappy. She is missing the support and fellowship with her blogger buddies. She asked me to make sure that you know that she is not absent, only unable to communicate at the moment. She is still following your blogs. She will return when she can. Until then, generally speaking, prayers or good positive thoughts would be a big help. She is such a wonderful person and a great huge part of my life... my safety net and sanity, my protector. Everyone should have the gift of such a friend. I know that I am blessed to have her.


On the work front... today was the first day of actual school at my school. It was oddly quiet and lonely for me without the high school kids. Of course, my own high school kid... my senior made enough noise to fill the gap. He had to register up river today. I had to find a way to get him there, registered and back without screwing myself up at work.
Contrary to what my family has always thought, they do expect me to show up and work for the pay they give me.


Deals were made. I now owe my Thursday afternoon to the secretary after my usual hours end. A time exchange of sorts. She is great about stuff like that. So in the space of two hours, I made two trips up river and back to drive Squeaky and another student. He got all the classes he wanted and could not have a better senior year load. He even has off campus time that he can spend at Bear's house.


Speaking of Bear... her birthday is on the 12th. We were supposed to celebrate it with a BBQ tonight. Nope. Family stuff came up on his side. Bear will be 26 I think. (I was there, you'd think I could recall.) Yep... did the math. That is about the age where birthdays and holidays stop being as big a deal as they used to be. Your needs give way to the needs of those you love. Sorry Bear. We will celebrate soon. I will make it happen one way or another. All the way to the moon and back, baby!


Well, that's all for today folks. Sort of a rambling post of my concerns. I'm fine personally. Happy even, except that it is hard to be too glad when those I care about are not happy. I hope happiness finds you today in some small way that gives you a smile. Meanwhile I'll do what I can to bring one to those mentioned above. Grins!
