Today I awoke with pure AWESOMENESS. I think it was the Doc Marten’s and the beginning with The Clash that influenced it greatly. ”London Calling” just starts my day off right…perhaps it’s because London is only an hour away from Zürich, but I digress.
This morning consisted of work time sheets and finishing up a Very Important Request for Services to County. Lordy, I hope I didn’t go overboard, but it’s a serious situation in dire need of help. I also had my hour of guitar lessons. I am astounded by the magic which is produced by this wooden instrument with strings from this man. I was supposed to practice later tonight, however….
From guitar lesson, I headed to a school site to see a client I met in juvenile hall and I *also* was able to talk with J-Ber, my gangsta colleague. This lady…always full of surprises. Headed to Cameron Park to see my clients and was nicely surprised when Lara walked in with two firemen, only they weren’t for me, which somewhat saddened me. They were there to actually check the electrical panel and do actual real “fireman” stuff, not pose for me or anything. That kinda sucked. Still, it was a nice breather in my day and cheered me up. I saw my two clients and then…store for chicken and home.
At home I spent a little time looking around at my options. It wasn’t too long before the kids came home and…the request for help with homework. Ohmygoodness, YES! Let’s DO This! <it was science> Oh holyhellnoooooooo…. I’m not one of “those” people..I was hoping it was English homework. It was another multi-hour session – there were tears and raised voices and exasperation…yet there was also deep conversation about not taking the easy way because there is no such thing. I told him there might be 4 years of this (arguing and tears), but I won’t ever give up on him and he better not give up on himself, either.
A long day – tomorrow my kiddos depart, leaving me alone with moths, dog hair and dust. It’s really kinda icky. I’m thinking for fun I’ll clean out Violet’s crate and give her new substrata then study for the law and ethics exam (good news is I found my internship doesn’t expire until February). Yee-haw.
Pictures: Wearin’ new shoes with client; she drew me. Recovering alcoholic me loves it.
