It was a chilly Wednesday. I am chipping away at keeping up with grading, prepping for summer school, and working on the June issue of the newspaper. I feel there is plenty to do without feeling the least bit overwhelmed-- at times I wish I could be busier. There are moments when my thoughts wonder and the sadness overwhelms me and that's when I wish I had more to do. At lunch I ran out and got all the boys who helped with yesterday's boxes Culver's. I informed them all that there was going to be another session next week and that they would not get another round of treats. I would be expecting a 2 for 1 deal. They all seemed quite happy with the deal.
Monika had a dentist appointment today and took Balt for his afternoon walk while I stayed late after school helping Grace with a framing project and assisting a student with a project for the newspaper. Having Monika home is a comfort and it certainly is nice to have someone to share dinner with. She's no help when it comes to prepping for this marathon we are BOTH doing this weekend. She will end up in as much pain as me, most likely, only because she will try a bit harder. We both sat on the couch this evening watching the season finale' of Survivor laughing about how bad it's going to be on Sunday. With an 80% chance of thunderstorms, I'm hoping they might cancel it!!
I chatted with my mom this evening. She been very busy with treatment and doctors appointments. I know her life has completely changed in less than a month. She is beginning to lose her hair now, having finished up radiation and now will begin chemo. When I see her in June for her birthday, she may have it all shaved off. My mom is fighting a battle and I am just sitting around trying not to think about it. I wish I could do more for her, take her somewhere fun or offer her a bit of extra energy. I send her my love every day with well wishes and prayer, knowing in the end all things will work together for good somehow.
