The Week in Review

I always liked that scene in the Cyrano de Bergerac with Gerard Depardieu where he's dying at the end but he still goes to visit Roxanne for a weekly oral gazette where he tells her the news of the week. I wish someone would come to my house on Fridays and give me a weekly gazette while I watercolored outside under a tree!

Until then that's what blog is for. Highlights of the week:

Monday: Ate a great lunch at the local fancy restaurant where we take candidates to show off during their interview process. Oh! It was so yummy. Later that night I enjoyed yet another nice meal at a local Mexican restaurant with my coworkers and my ex-coworker, Bob.

Tuesday: Ate another great lunch at same local fancy restaurant with candidate #2. These are candidates that could replace our wonderful ex-boss, only a year and 7 months after she left!!! We all voted for candidate #1. I am praying she accepts! She was well-qualified and we all really liked her a lot!

Wednesday: Why do my posts revolve around food? Because it's pure happiness! Wednesday was wild and crazy. I taught 2 skin care classes at 2 difference libraries at 2 and at 4 and saw my mom and grandfather in between. They were good classes with good participants. Then the High-spanic Health coalition board meeting was interesting. I think this is the 1st time I've experienced such angst and tension with this group. Several of them got their blood up and there was some interrupting and heated discussion. I am not too emotionally invested in the issues of the Board b/c I literally have no capacity to be so at this juncture in my life, so I just sat back, watched, and submitted my vote when it was time. I guess all Boards have tense conflicts at times. I'm sure we'll survive and get through this, at least I hope we do, with no casualties.

Thursday: I taught a skin care class at a small library with mostly a group of unruly teenage boys. Although I was hesitant and skeptical at first, they turned out to be a lot of fun! They turned out to be really hilarious and had me and the other librarian in stitches. It was good to laugh and I had a lot of fun, as did the boys. Since they were all Hispanic like me they were funny but respectful. (I would not have had such a positive experience with black teenage boys--believe me, I know from experience at the libraries in the black neighborhoods.)

Here I am at Job#2 while S goes to pick up the baby, and I did call the whore today at her fabulous place of work, WAL-MART, to remind her that this is our court-ordered weekend. I also called the daycare owner and reminded her and also told her what had happened last weekend. I also spoke to our lawyer today who says she is filing a contempt of court enforcement on the whore, but this should be resolved at mediation. Unfortunately we most likely will not see the whore thrown in jail where she belongs but she will have to pay some of our attorney's fees again. The more $ we can take from her lower-middle-class cheap fake leather pocketbook bought with her 10% Wal-Mart discount to punish her, the better.

Tomorrow S is going to be testing at another local police agency so the baby will come with me to a health fair I have to exhibit at. It should be pretty fun. We'll get lunch on the Library's dime and we'll only work 'til 3, plus the place is literally right down the street from the house. Sunday is Father's Day and we'll go to TCBY since all dad's get a free cone or cup that day! We also want to see Kung Fu Panda. S wants to take the baby to see The Hulk too but I do not want to sit through that. I also told S that after we drop the baby off on Sunday I'll take him to see the new M. Night Shmylan, The Happening.
