Events of Note: Unit 4: Unit 4 Seminar
* I've only just sat down here at my home computer for today, and already it's mid-afternoon. A case of Monday morning busyness, or something, I think. My daughter's preschool timetable has been reactivated because the State re-approved her funding, albeit for only half-days for the month of August. With me still being officially considered to be medically incapcitated at the moment, this state-funded care is actually pretty important to our functioning as a household with some semblance of normality. Even temporarily. Because I have come a considerable way since the beginning of January, when I was confined to a wheelchair continually and needed 24 hour care and supervision-wholly reliant upon my husband for doing absolutely everything for me. After something like that, the phrase 'normal' tends to take on a whole new complexion and connotation.
* I was awakened in the middle of the night, last night, by a neighbor's child yelling in distress. More than once, too. It really bothered me. As a Mom, I'm instinctively cued to respond immediately to that type of a sound-even if it doesn't relate directly to my own child's cries.
* My reading highlight today has been reading the narrative of my former room-mate's diagnosis, battle and treatment of Guillian-Barre Syndrome (GB). I've heard her relate this story to me in-person, but it's equally fascinating to see her writing in her own words. She has a very sensible and conversational style, which also makes her very readable.
* Speaking of reading....I have some more to do before Seminar, tonight...
See you on the Boards and/or in class, tonight!.
