It has been a very up and down day. 3 major things have happened ...best to describe them in order ...
Firstly my sister's cat is very sick - she was rushed into the vet yesterday and they have managed to stabilise her for now. We won't know the outcome until they do a biopsy of her intestines but they can't do that until she is more stable and has put on a little weight - so it is a waiting game for now. The 2 likely scenarios are lymphoma or inflamed intestinal disease - very much hoping for the latter. She is eating but they will keep her at the vet over the next couple of days to look after her.
Secondly - we found out this morning that the father of some of our kids had suddenly died. He was rushed to hospital after he stepped in to stop an argument between two other people and was hurt (don't think I can say here how but tragically they could not save him). The school has put processes in place for both students and staff but as with any traumatic event it is going to be felt by many for some time. Personally I am okay but it certainly brings back memories for me and I have my supports in place to deal with anything it triggers for me - I see my pdoc on Wednesday so it is good timing.
Lastly - I found out this afternoon what school I will be at next year. It is the school that was mentioned to me and whose Principal I spoke to a couple of weeks ago. I really did not think that would be the case after so long but it is official now. I will be on a grade 1/2 for terms 1 and 2 but the plan is for me to stay there after that. I would certainly have preferred to know I had the full year on the same class but initially it is covering for someone on maternity leave and then we take it from there. At least now I know early and can begin to plan and organise things for next year. It is a really good school and from everything I have heard and the conversation I had with the Principal thier approach to learning is right up my alley - lots of inquiry based learning and very much a hands-on approach.
Bit hard to get excited about that though at present with other things going on so concentrating tonight on getting the last of my reading reports done and planning for the next couple of days ...and lots of self-care.
Love and hugs to all ...and the hope that you have all had a little light in your day - we need to hold onto all that we can
