Monday Again

Today is September 11th. Sixteen years ago America was attacked when passenger planes were hijacked by terrorists and flown into New York's twin towers. They showed a CNN video in class in remembrance of the tragedy and I almost cried. I held it back so I wouldn't get overly emotional in class. Then they did a segment about the hurricanes and tropical storms hitting Texas and Florida now.

So school went okay. I finally got a chance to see the buildings I hadn't been in before, got my photo taken for a new identification card, and made an appointment with the library tech person to get some help with my computer. I also helped transfer a wheelchair student into a Hoyer sling and onto the table. It's a careful process and you need to be slow and safe when following the steps.

I went to two work experience classes with kids and helped others with school work. There was a thirty-minute assembly with everyone from the whole school. The band performed, the school song was sung, the cheer squad danced and cartwheeled, the principal gave a speech. I liked the parts when the first years won the impromptu competition, and the exchange students introduced themselves.
Besides that I just sort of felt like I was an extra in a high school movie.

I came home for lunch and Steve was here so I guess he had today off work which is nice! I didn't know. I 'caught' some girls smoking and said it was private property so they couldn't hang out there. They were civil about it. There's going to be a different schedule on Wednesday and I am going to need to remember to go early to my doctor appointment.

I almost forgot to take my meds tonight I was so tired. I want to exercise (bike ride and roller skate and go to the gym a bit) but I'm so tired after walking around the big school I just want a nap and food.

Today one of the first students I saw on campus had on a skirt that didn't cover the poor girl's rear end. She was wearing dark stockings so it wasn't as obvious, but I just know she was going around all day trying to keep pulling it down in the back. Because I have had those days. The garment industry just doesn't make short straight skirts that work for curvier gals. They need to be longer in the back because when you have a backside that curves outward or sideways it takes more fabric to cover.

They did a dress code reminder announcement over the loudspeaker today, but I doubt too many people were paying attention. I'm not going to fret over it any longer. I'm going to watch some TV now. There's a new sci-fi show called The Orville. God Bless America; be useful and be kind. Peace.
