This has to be the fastest year that’s ever gone by. The days seem normal but the months are flying. I did not go into group today like I originally planned on doing. Last night I checked my schedule and happened to see that two clients had been added to the afternoon after group. Elianna was wanting to leave pretty much as soon as I got home and I knew that was not going to leave enough time for me to be ready by then.

It would’ve been too long of a stretch. So I spent the morning cleaning my room and helping to fill out the rest of the Middle East. The outdoor ed group was supposed to be down at the beach from 10-11:30 so my youngest and I went down there to join them. They were almost 45 minutes late and by the time they got down there we were on our way back up to the house. I packed my clothes, started laundry, and wrote emails.

I like being at Thrive on days when Arya is there. Wednesdays. I’ve reduced my days to three days a week. I don’t need any more. I only need 7 hours a week for the rest of the semester to meet my remaining hours. 2.5 of those can come from class time. I’m basically just staying away from the supervisor at this point. I don’t want to say I’m totally done there but there are too many issues for me to feel comfortable staying there.

So Arya and I had two hours together just hanging out because our 1PM new clients didn’t show up. Every time I meet a new person I just feel for their situation. The things that people keep inside and have no one else to talk to about can really make up a near infinite list. I felt bad having to cut him off and it always feel so impersonal, especially whenever you’re first meeting with someone. Everything was completed and posted.

We left home around 5:06 and if you don’t stop it takes about 2 1/2 hours to get up here. Elianna drove which was nice because I was sleepy. I talked to my aunt on the phone who retired just yesterday from a company where she’s worked for 36 years. Before that she had a good deal of years at another place. I can’t imagine. But I congratulated her on her accomplishment. My sister, the teacher, is only three months in.
