Life has shifted pretty drastically for me when a “really late night” is getting to bed at 9:40.
After convincing the Boy to allow me to drive the bus (I dropped him off long before school property so no one would see), I headed to the smog shop and waited for a half an hour before they opened. When I called, I was told I needed to make an appointment, that the earliest they could fit me in 9:30, which conflicted with my staff meeting. I was rather huffy and mad, telling him I’d call him back, but reality hit pretty quickly: I’m not the center of t
he universe and all things do not revolve around me. The appointment is at 2:30 tomorrow.
Staff meeting and then individual supervision with my new supervisor. I learned a really good lesson today, one I’m constantly preaching, yet in my human-ness, tend not to follow: we should not fear the unknown, for in it, we often discover the incredible.
3 sessions, 3 treatment plans in rapid succession. Today was exhausting- this whole week has been. I texted the Boy to tell him I was on my way home and when I got there, I saw the TV cued to Parks & Rec and two 
plates with freshly-grilled hamburgers on them. An absolutely perfect thing to come home to. I like that kid.
I did convince Ethan to run down to the corner market with me for some double-stuffed Oreos. It didn’t take much arm-twisting. A show or two and then bed. I can’t wait (it’s 7:05 as I write this).
Pictures: This plant was from La Bodega Odessa. I’ve held onto it this whole time, yet in the last few months it has suffered. It died as we officially sold La Bodega. After 7 years, the estate is closed; Awaiting me as I got home from an exhausting day. Everyone should be so blessed.
