What's the latest and greatest going on in our household? I've been easing my way back onto my good pills, so the world is definitely a happier place. Emerson and I finally got past being sick, but then Dwayne got it. I think Dexter is now coming down with something.
Gambit is now one year old (as of Valentine's Day) and is mellowing out more. He and Storm are getting along better and on warmer days we're able to put them outside for a bit. We're happy with how Storm is doing, but we still miss our Scout.
Emerson's been enjoying his job and one of the teacher's he works with let him know about a local ice hockey team. We are now huge fans of the Utah County Blizzard hockey team - too bad their season is nearly over. Emerson loves driving the Trooper (except on really windy days) and we're happy to see that it has much better gas mileage than the old truck did (especially since gas prices are skyrocketing). I know he's going to be happier once the weather stays warm on a regular basis so he can get more stuff done outside. He's definitely the "cabin fever" type.
Work is still keeping me pretty busy. I've been tutoring two students regularly and trying to work around their treatment center schedule has been challenging. For example, on Tuesday, one of the girls was in the Intensive Support Unit (ISU) so I couldn't tutor her. I tried again on Wednesday, but she was still in ISU. When I tried on Thursday, I waited until she was done with school, then group therapy, and then dinner. Unfortunately, she then had recreation therapy and I was told to wait another hour. I went back to my office and worked for an hour and tried again. Now she was in the shower! It was nearly 7 pm by the time I was able to tutor her and by the time we were done, her unit/dorm was already done with evening medications and I had to take her to medical services to get her meds. Very long night! It's amazing how packed these kids' schedules are and it's a wonder they ever get any free time or even time to do homework. On the brighter side, I have really enjoyed working with the Women's Business Network and it looks like we have some great plans for this year. Planning is also underway for our annual golf tournament and I still have plenty to do with the Heritage play. Still, I managed to get all creative and try tatting with some rope. I thought it would be a bracelet, but it seems more like a ring for playing ring toss.
