"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. " Soren Kierkegaard
Sometimes it is lived in FAST forward! I awoke to a missed call from a number I didn't recognize and they didn't leave a message. When it rang again in the afternoon I found out it was the special education director from Waco ISD calling to give me info about the job and invite me to attend a conference! The news was good! I get to continue working with Deaf students! But to attend the conference I had to leave Lufkin in less than 24 hours! So much for getting anything done before I left!
Because my room reservation was originally for the assistant sped director, I got this awesome suite! All to myself! Not that I spent much time there! The conference was also at the same hotel. I was so glad to have the opportunity to meet people I am going to be working with! Since the amnesia last year I have a really hard time with proper nouns and learning everyone's name was really kicking my butt!
Turns out that people in central Texas go out for drinks so I went too...but mine was a VIRGIN prickly pear margarita. Did you know it is the alcohol that makes it sweet?
I made two new friends Laurie and BJ. We did lots of fun things over the next couple of days....
To be continued....
