I am sad. Sad that the school year begins in MOMENTS. While not a fan of the hundred degree temps, I AM a fan of the 3 day work-week and many music fests. Not gonna lie, Mexico wit da kiddos was grand, also. 
Staff meeting this morning that we HAD to be at, so I cancelled my appointments with clients and showed up. There were not, however, enough people to be there for the vote, so….it was a waste (kinda, though I got some hours logged) because the clients couldn’t show up later.
Another supervision and then discussion with my colleagues about husbands paying child support, even when the wife makes 3 times as much as the husband. I understand there are a lot of dead-beat dads out there, but there are ALSO a LOT of good ones, and screwing with them for the mistakes of others? Not cool. I don’t make as much as my ex, but I also do not have the bills he has. He doesn’t pay enough support, but I’m ok with that because we have 50/50 custody and he also pays my car insurance. We work TOGETHER for the sake of our kids, but also because we like each other and are not spiteful humans. I’m a terrific ex-wife, gentlemen, tell all yer friends. <grin>
Actually, this ^ is a joke. I shan’t be getting married again.
Down to the other office for my clients and building some incredible relationships with 
these kids – being there for them and creating space. After months of wondering (not just with these clients but with many) if I was even accomplishing anything, I am seeing the work’s fruition: they are trusting of me and opening up. This is awesome.

Back up the hill for microdermabrasion and a peel. It’s been 10 months, so CLEARLY I’m not very punctual and consistent (that was excellent mircodermabrasion/peel humor). It was so nice to see my friend again and then after, since I was in the old ‘hood, I stopped by to visit my sweet Brent. While I am glad to be out of that house, I do so miss having him for a neighbor. I told him to move out here – more trees, less people, less expensive water. As for
DudeMan – yes we communicated, today but I am holding back in being “me” before he really gets to know me (assuming that will even happen). This whole lie about guys liking woman who are assertive, speak their minds, and ask them out??? HA!! The couple times I tried that I never heard from the guy again. Plus, he is a southern gent and therefore I must revert back to my lady-like ways (yes – I can wear a dress and yes, I have been raised with cotillion in my past, so I can do this). I am waiting for him to make the next moves.
Pictures: My client wanted to take a picture of my hands once all the sand she had placed in it ran out; This is a picture based on the children of Aleppo, Syria who have been setting fire to tires in order to create a smoke cloud to deter Russian air strikes. CHILDREN are doing this. This is a group of those children. They should be in school, learning, playing with friends… We have no idea how lucky we are….
