Our wheelchair-bound non-verbal student passed away on Friday morning. It was unexpected despite his fragile state of health and very traumatic news for all of us who worked directly with him in classes and for bathroom changes. I was able to be sent home by the vice principal and that saved me from having to be extremely sad around the other students and crying in public. I am very grateful that I was allowed (invited) to go home after receiving the shocking news. It is extremely sad, and we miss them very much.
There's a fitness challenge at work and the 'winner' (biggest loser) gets the money pot that everyone contributed to. I have lost nine p. which I thought was great until I heard others talking about their (much higher) weight loss. There are a few weeks left though so I guess I shouldn't give up quite yet.
It was Steven's birthday celebration this weekend and we went to a movie and dinner and swimming. Blue Star Donuts gave him free coffee and donuts too which was amazing and cool. They were very delicious. If only they had no calories I would eat them every day...
Peace and Love and take care of each other. There was another heinous shooting at a school today and children died. Reprehensible bullshit that there are guns that kids can get their hands on so easily. Also, Ursula K. LeGuin passed away today. As did the actor/dancer who portrayed Tinky Winky (the purple one) on The Teletubbies. I am very tired. Gotta get up to get down!
