Rivers

I didn't get much sleep last night. The force of the wind and the rain made me nervous. At one time I could have sworn a tornado was descending upon us. It is after 2 p.m. and it is still raining. We just had another massive downpour an hour ago. There's rivers of water running down both sides of the road.

My daughter and I spent 5 hours of our life messing with an ER visit MOnday night. Her temperature had gone down (yes, DOWN) and with the flu epidemic, doctor's offices were filled to capacity and the clinic down the road was swamped. They were telling everyone to go to the ER. I didn't want to do it but when her temperature (that had started to get back into the normal range) started to go down again, I decided I should take her. It turned out she has an upper respiratory viral infection and they can't do anything about it anyway. So, I have just been giving her decongestants and fluids...as instructed.

My son, on the other hand, is struggling with depression. He is trying to adjust to cyber school again. Having his meds changed has not been what he had hoped for. He is finding the affects to be much less than what he was experiencing from his previous meds. It is a daily struggle to keep him encouraged and on track.

I am enjoying my human resource class..Employee Training. I really like the teacher and her way of doing things. I like her perspective on employers/jobs/and what one should expect. She told us last night that we really should remember our own personal values above everything. A company/job should not make us change them. If their objectives go against our personal values, it is time to get out. She says she had to do that once and she never regretted it. She also said that she got to see that company implode upon itself.

Well, on with the rest of my day. Let's hope it dries up out there soon.
