Plain Weird
So I spent Mon night in the ER with a migraine from 11:30pm to 5:00am with CJ. (Much thanks to him for all of his special care.) I slept the entire day on Tuesday. I wake up groggy but still bent on going to work this morning and low and behold when I stepped outside and started to drive away in my car I noticed my trunk was open. So I stop mid-alleyway and close it. This is when I notice that my back small window is totally crashed out and the door unlocked. The weird thing is, is that they didn't take anything valuable and believe me I had stuff in that trunk that someone would have wanted to take. I just makes no sense. I'm very glad that that stuff was not taken but I still have to fork over money I just don't have to replace the window. All I can say is I hope Karma comes and bites the-person-who-did-this' ass. ¶ 5/25/2005

Well, I'm glad that the idiot who broke into your car didn't actually take anything. But yeah, bad karma upon that idiot's head for breaking the window. Ugh, what a pain in the ass. Well, roomie, I'm sorry that it happened...
I'm sorry to hear about your second ER visit so recently...wow, I really hope that this doesn't keep happening more often. Is there anything else you can do as preventative measures?
Only 2 more days!!

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that Laura. Please, PLEASE call Niki Telkes, herbalist extraordinaire 426-3113 to set up a consultation. She can do a thorough evaluation of what's triggering your migraines and help you adjust your diet and, if necessary, add some herbs to stop or, at least, lessen them. She's done wonders for me and many others and I have no doubt that she can help you out. A consult is $50 I think, but SO worth it. I came by yesterday but no one was home so I went away again. Are you coming with me to the airport tomorrow? Call me!
Love,

Broken Hearts
My heart is broken today. I lost a close co-worker to depression and alcoholism. She had a husband and two small children. I found out this weekend and the students were just notified this morning. We are all mourning her loss. We all wonder what we could've done to prevent this. Nothing prepares you for something like this, nothing. I'm having trouble working. I don't want to be here right now but the kids need me and so I will do my best to ease their suffering the best I can. Ya'll this has been a really tough past week for me. ¶ 5/16/2005

I know the kids need you, but I hope you will let them help you as well. Know that I am with you in spirit, despite my physical absence.

Hi Laura,
I'm so sorry to hear what a hard week you've been having. It's terrible to lose a friend, teacher, mother, and wife. I'm thinking about her family and students. You're very kind-hearted and I know you're hurting but you're also very strong and you've got lots of friends to help you out. Sorry I've been absent lately...I've been spending most of my time out in Wimberley land. I'll call you tonight after class.
Love,

I've also lost friends and family to depression and it's never easy. I reiterate what the other gals said: I really hope you find time to take care of yourself during this grieving process... talk to friends, journal, see a counselor, do whatever you can do to process and heal. Call if you want to chat... Love, Cat
Laura,
you rock! I had so much fun eating ice cream and watching ridiculous t.v. and talking about boys. Let's do it again some time. :)

Emotional Day
Working in a high school has its pitfalls. Today I got to see a kid bang a social work intern's head into a wall. It wasn't completely an attack but I could tell it hurt her. Violence is not okay but what makes this extrordinary is that we hardly ever have any violence on campus. Garza is a very safe place compared to many other high schools.
And then my third block of kids are very hard to deal with. We have a range of bitchy, bratty, needy, and hard workers. All this after lunch combined with another migraine made my day less than perfect.
But on the bright side I got to have a heart to heart with a student and it always feels good to involved in a student's life. We can help better if we know what's going on, or we can just be more understanding.

Springtime Angst
Growth is pain right? I guess I just always see things in balance, good comes with bad. Things balance out, pain is beneficial. In other words, I think I'm ready to start blogging again.
So what is on my mind lately? Well friends are. Friends moving on with their lives and my place in it is either completely gone or significantly reduced. And while I know this is inevitable, especially with guy friends it still sucks and hurts. But as with everything, I hurt and I move on. I'm tired of struggling. I'm tired of caring. I'm tired of wondering. It's okay, it's done. Maybe things will change in the future but I'm moving on.
Things I'm going to do....I have a beach trip planned in August. I have a three day music festival planned, which is outside of Chicago in late June. I'm going to join Jazzercise classes this week and shed those winter pounds. I've already started cooking more. My summer plans include going out to more live music, and seeing some plays. I started a little make-up business with www.meetmark.com for extra cash. I'm thinking of getting another part time job...we'll see about that. I have a family reunion to go to in Fentress, TX at the end of July. I have two weeks off, the last in July and the first in August.
Oh if you like Mark products, you can order online and put my phone number in so I can get a small percentage or you can order through me and pay a lot less in shipping. Call me for a catalog or save paper and use the online one. Sorry for the small plug, I'm saving for my summer trips. ¶ 5/10/2005

*huggles* Just some love from the bannana, Miss Laura...I can definitely relate to your angsty-ness in certain respects, and I'm sure we will have a good girl gab about it when I get back...I am certain we both need the in depth contact for some clarity and sanity!
