I have sad news. My friend and colleague who was diagnosed with brain cancer in November, passed away last night. She was on a new treatment and was planning on returning to school in the fall. Being a physical education teacher, she had to be really well to do her job, so we were all encouraged by this. Then she collapsed, hospice came on Monday, and yesterday she transitioned.

I despise this disease.

We don't have too much going on this weekend. DS is dog sitting for my sister's family. They are on vacation this week at Hilton Head, so he's staying at their house all week. It will be different without him around this week. I think tomorrow we are going to a movie to see something, not 100% sure what yet, but something.

Sunday will just be DH, DS and me at my mom's since my sister and family are out of town. We may go out to eat or bring something in. Not sure yet.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

So sorry @Summer2018

Watching Debby’s path currently as she will decide whether we are flying or driving on vaca. I know traveling during hurricane season as always a gamble but man like it it could have showed up a day earlier or later life would have been much easier. I know the trip will happen it’s just more a matter really thinking and planning. Mercury must be telling me to slow my roll.

I have had a tension headache since Wednesday, so bad that I will most likely have to get acupuncture this week. It started after my less than stellar interview experience.

My self-care is to withdraw my application for the position. It doesn’t feel right. With my friend passing, still mourning my brother, and a new school year beginning, I don’t think I can handle this new part time job. On paper it looked good, but the circumstances surrounding it makes it feel like a mistake.

I need to concentrate on healing myself.
