A Day In The Life

I feel almost human tonight. I've spent the day doing my best imitation of Jell-O while hiding under blankets on my bed, couch or chair, whichever was the surface I was able to get comfortable on throughout the day.

I can breathe through my nose tonight. I can't smell anything... but I can breathe.

Unfortunately my lassitude from the day has left me stranded in an evening that I’m not tired enough to fall asleep. I’m tired, but not the kind of tired that leads to sleep.

So, while I anxiously wait for sleep to come, I’ve looked over some of the homework items the kids worked on yesterday. I was quite surprised by something I read in #2’s homework. For his English class he had to write a letter of introduction for himself to his teacher. Some of the things that he was to include were some of his educational goals. He stated in the letter that his educational goal was to become a lawyer or plastic surgeon.

I think I may see about talking with him tomorrow. This is the first indication that he wants to do anything like that. I’m interested to see what his thoughts and impressions are of those careers.
