falling behind

I never seem to be able to keep things done that should get done. Things get tossed onto a pile and then just stay there; bills, clean laundry, sewing, pictures that need hanging... Maybe I should get rid of more "stuff"!

I also can't keep track of stuff; Cory found the yogurt, in a cupboard I had looked 3 times; I've lost the car keys again; yesterday I lost my phone in the middle of the huge field behind the old school at the end of our street. I actually found it again! Thanks to St Anthony.

We had several more people through the house yesterday, several that I think would be fine, if they apply. My most hopeful is still the very first couple that came...I will call references today.

I continue to have more emotional stability than otherwise, as well as eating stability. It's not perfect, but seems much more doable with sleep.

I have a little brag to share as well; after 25 years, I had my first performance appraisal. It was a very good report, but while sharing it, my principal also told me that I'm the best she has ever worked with.

It's kind of ironic that I also got a letter from the board inviting me to a celebration of these 25 years, which will, for the first time ever, be shared with board volunteers; no longer a dinner or a purchased gift card, but a presentation (which will be long and boring) and a gift made by a student I don't even know (the ones I work with aren't usually selected for that kind of duty, even though some of them are quite gifted.

Love, elly
