The Waiting Room

I am on Day 2 of the six day steroid treatment, and I am slowly getting back to normal. I am a little less achy and stiff today, but I still have some difficulty walking.

I am hoping that I feel better by tomorrow as my mom wants Husband and I to meet her at the Casino near the state line for brunch. My mom is having her right tonsil remove later in the week and she would like to spend some time with me since I cannot take time off to be with her. I don't mind going, because it is a beautiful drive in the country and casino has some very nice restaurants. But, I have reservations because there is smoking at the casino which is not good for me. We shall see.

I decided that I am going to postpone my jury duty. In my state, you can request an adjournment for another time. It is just too difficult for me to revamp my teaching schedule for that week. And I just know I would get some grief from those in charge if I even mention the thought of cancelling a class, even though legally they cannot prohibit my attending. It's just too much work that would be involved, and with the exception of office mate, there is no one at my job that I feel I can trust with my classes. Plus, she teaches at the same time I do and combining our classes is out of the question, so I cannot ask her. So, I will request an adjournment until next summer.

I have some other important decisions to make that I cannot blog about just yet. Husband has been very attentive and supportive which helps. We are also making some decisions about our future and where we want to be. It's not an easy thing, that is, trying to figure out what it is one truly wants. But one thing I know is that the two of us (and let's not forget the Boy) make a good team and whatever choices we have to make, we always stick together.

So I am rising. Slowly, but rising.
