| happy Halloween.. |
Hope Y'all have a happy Halloween.. kind of a favorite holiday. it was my mom's birthday-- although she always said it was the 30th.. but mainly because when I owned a hobby and craft store I got into serious Halloween before anyone else really did. High end masks, quality makeup, costume rental.. and I made a nice buck.. but for a week I was busy as a one-armed paperhanger with hives..
couldn't decide on a costume so I'm gonna bend over and back in naked.. I'll be a Parker House roll...
Son Bill had an interesting week. He's doing his practicum for D/A counseling. a counselor asked him to type up some notes so he sat down at the guy's computer stand.. Bill's a big guy and it was too low. there was a button in the center of the column.. so he pressed it and pulled up.. nada. Oh well.. It was a panic button that scrambled every cop for miles! Bill said he felt like Jake Blues.. he admitted it and things calmed down.. an hour later the Sheriff's office called. they wanted to call the incident a"test"- they hadn't done their mandatories. so it turned out OK. then today Bill went the extra mile.. made over 100 phone calls to find a desperate person a residential bed. His supervisor called staff and said.. "don't call him student anymore.. call him intern." Bill feels really good about that.
He's struggling to learn how to not take all this home with him, how to compartmentalize and avoid emotional burnout. but he'll get there.. He's on a good path....
