Home again

Well, Rick and I just got home from Belize City.  I got to spend a few days in the hospital.   Yeah me.  I had a cyst on my ovary rupture, which doesn't feel good let me tell you.  While I was getting all of my tests done it also came to light that I have bilateral kidney disease as well.   The good news is that my kidneys are still functioning like they should, and with some dietary changes I can keep them that way for a long, long time.  So good news with bad, yes, they found it, but at the earliest point so that I can keep it under control.

First Day of High School

Well today was my first day of high school, as a teacher that is.  It went fairly well.  I have ten students, eight boys and two girls.  Most of them seem bright and eager, a couple looked like they would rather be napping and one who seemed to think he should be teaching the class.  I think he might be my problem child.  For those who want to learn, I am there to teach, for those who want to sleep, I will fix your computers for the rest if your life (for a price) but what to do with one who thinks he already knows it all already?  Actually, I am already forming a plan.  He seems to be the ring leader of a group of talkers, so I think I shall make him my assistant.  By keeping his little hands busy maybe it will help keep his little mouth shut.  And maybe by asking HIM questions, maybe, just maybe I can steer him in the right direction.  I was a know it all too (I know Granny, I KNOW!) but still, somehow, I managed to actually learn something along the way.  I hope to be able to get through to this one.  Maybe he is NOT my problem child, maybe he is my special project.  Yes, yes indeed, I like that much better.  It's always so nice to talk these things out so thank you Reader, thank you for being there to listen when I just need to ramble out loud and figure things out.  It's so nice to know you are out there.
