Forced to Look


UGH!!! That is how I feel!  I keep trying to shake the grouchiness I have, but I'm not having any luck.  It's tax day and I am grateful I have already written my check...in fact, it cleared the bank yesterday.  The weather has been pretty good lately so I've been able to walk Aiden at the park.  I enjoy it but he has not because of the track meet at the high school close by. 

Both yesterday and today, we've walked around the same time as the meet would be ending - 2 events left - the 200 meter and the 4 by 400 relay.  (I know this because Paul ran the 4 by 400 when he was in high school.)  Anyhow, the reason Aiden hasn't liked the walk is  because of the starting gun for the two hundred.  It's so close to where we walk that it scares him just like fireworks.  He practically runs to the car so that he can go home.  So our walk has been cut short two days in a row.  I have to figure out how to avoid scaring him and getting in a longer walk for both of our sakes.

Now back to finding good, to get rid of or at least mask the feeling of gloom over me. I've mentioned taxes and the weather...I am happy that the standardized testing we have been doing at work will end this week and I can resume to my normal teaching schedule.  And finally, it was our birthday luncheon at work - I gotta be grateful for a free lunch!

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
