That me6/24 is a Latin word usually used in a phrase: "In me6/24 res" meaning "in the middle of a narrative or plot" plus it has other meanings ..

1:56 am

Morning Ruby and all.

6:42 am

I profited from 15 minutes of sunshine to do a little gardening, planted two magenta celosias

6:42 am

rubyfoo

hello bzzn

6:43 am

rubyfoo

I put them with verbena and two other plants, also purple which I don't remember

6:44 am

BzznBea

Isn't gardening so rewarding?

6:44 am

rubyfoo

and planted two pourpier (mauve, in a planter on the deck with parsley, chives and thyme (parsley and chives from last year). I put hot Pepper all around everything to try and discourage Little Miss Monster dog from digging stuff up

6:45 am

rubyfoo

she smells like thyme from repeatedly digging it up and carrying it around

6:45 am

BzznBea

She is just trying to help.

6:45 am

rubyfoo

the garden is amazing!

6:45 am

rubyfoo

she is so cute, that it's impossible to be mad but I hope the hot Pepper works

6:47 am

Bugsaw

hi stid. what grade today!

6:49 pm

Bugsaw

not bad, just bigger than I would like

6:50 pm

stidmama

middle school -- Title 1 room (where the kids who need extra help but not special ed go). I knew most of them, and had help. It was a lovely experience. And I got to help a teacher-friend out, so that was nice.

6:51 pm

stidmama

I don't usually do the resource room positions, because not knowing the routines makes it hard on the kids.

6:51 pm

Bugsaw

lovely day then. The mother of the boy I tutor took me out for lunch today and we had a great time boasting about his progress to each other.

6:52 pm

stidmama

good for you (all!) -- a nice thing to do on a Monday, for sure.

6:53 pm

Bugsaw

It is our Memorial Day up here so she had a day off

6:54 pm

stidmama

oh, that is good! We have ours next Monday and I am hoping to make it to the Seattle Folklife festival this year. Missed the one last year.

6:55 pm

Bugsaw

glad you are feeling up to doing fun things for yourself. It is such a big part of healing

6:57 pm

stidmama

yes, I am trying to pull things together a bit. Tomorrow I will have a "crafting day" and work on some art/sewing projects that I have been putting off until I had a better frame of mind. You know -- important for the energy that goes into something to be positive.

6:58 pm

Bugsaw

good plan. I have been putting off making stuff for the same reason

6:58 pm

stidmama

(((bugs)))

6:59 pm

Trifioso

I have so many things I need to do, that everywhere my eyes fall I see some stupid thing or another that needs fixed, or done, or whatnot. so of course, I'm babbling!

6:59 pm

Bugsaw

thanks stid and that is what I am doing too Trif lal

6:59 pm

stidmama

Trifioso

7:00 pm

crosshair

just reading back,,congratulations phand!!! as a qualified nurse,you are now golden!! i do not know about the states,but here a good nurse can write his or her own ticket.my sister in-law graduated nursing here at Mcmaster U in Hamilton Ontario and the reps for many hospital were almost waiting at the door with offers to snap her up.sadly we get a bit of a brain drain to the states here as our hospital admins do not pay them what they are worth and my sis in-law was wooed away to a texas hospital

Speed, dear, just checking in and feel your pain. Contact me at catjdesigns@yahoo.com and let's talk. I'm a paraprofessional counselor and have so much personal experience it's ridiculous. More than happy to talk....just get in touch, dear.

7:25 pm

Trifioso

that is so kind, mimi!

7:25 pm

Trifioso

see how much love there is in the world, speed? LEAN on it!

7:26 pm

MimiCat

Not at all, Trif....we are all in this together and we should always help each other. I've been there, done that and it's my duty to help...and what gives me purpose.

7:26 pm

MimiCat

So you see, I'm actually being selfish!

7:27 pm

Trifioso

I totally agree. I did buy a lottery ticket this past weekend, and have dreams of opening a divorce resource center for women on the south shore if I win....because there is NOTHING right now

7:28 pm

MimiCat

So much pain and unless you have lots of money, no resources. I'm working on finishing my degree and want to be the call the police make at 2 in the morning when a crisis counselor is needed....the best way I can spend my remaining years.

7:28 pm

MimiCat

Speed, are you paying attention, dear? Please contact me.

7:29 pm

Trifioso

You will get through this, dear....let us help.

7:31 pm

MimiCat

Speed, my husband almost totally broke me but today I am happy and content and at peace....it can be done.

7:34 pm

MimiCat

Bless this community of people...such a special group of people and such a wonderful safe place to be.

7:39 pm
