Summer's Over

At least for me. I had a quiet July off from school. Wish I could say I did something fun and exciting. But as I've already posted, vacation wasn't an option for us again this year. However, it was a healthy, contemplative, restorative time for me.

I really needed to decompress after the wild ride I was on since January. And the good news is I've spent this last week in my office with my NEW boss. And she seems really, really normal and wonderful! Normal is a great compliment, believe me! I told her about my MS diagnosis and told her we would all figure out together what that means for me. I said that there are 3 triggers: heat (and in Houston we have to deal with that!), illness (and I'm usually pretty healthy) and stress. I told her that's where she comes in. She laughed and said (Honest to God) "I don't believe in work place stress." !!!!!

If this new and improved work environment and boss turns out like it seems--what a wonderful reward for me!
