It rained so hard last night, and I loved every moment of it. I know I’ve said it 1 million times yet rain makes me so happy.  It calms me.  Ethan was sick again this morning, so again I only delivered Girl to school, and fortunately there was no Quoia Cafe.  I still  ended up being a little late to work though… I hope this ends on Monday. fullsizerender25

The only referral I had was taken care of yesterday, so really that just left individual sessions and assessments. The assessments were with most of my kids anyway,  so I managed to get several done today. I feel so new again, though. I’m comfortable now in clinical sessions because I’ve done this so much, but I haven’t been in juvenile hall in quite some time and when I was,  it was temporarily.

It really disturbs me that tonight I missed an event taking place in the heavens that has never happened before (by twenty minutes), all to watch the last two episodes of something I already knew the ending to.   

Before picking up Maggie after after practice, I drove to Barnes & Noble’s to purchase some books. The first book I found was The Wave, followed by Brave New World (apparently I didn’t have a copy), then Stephen King’s The Long Walk.  The Handmaid’s Tale, The one I had wanted to read first, was nowhere to be found.  Maggie had finished her dance practice for the Quinceanera.  I later watched the video of these young ladies and gentlemen practicing their waltz.  So lovely.  fullsizerender26

Tomorrow is the concert.  Today my back began hurting again, so tonight, I started taking the prednisone prescribed a few months ago (which I saved for such an occasion).  I get to sleep in for a 3-day weekend (except for Monday morning when Ethan has to be at school at 7:30 to be re-enrolled.  No worries here, though.  I’ll have hot water instead of coffee, then nap when I get home).
