Washing pegged out...went out for a walk...rained. While I was out. (Fortunately I had forgotten that I had put the washing out or I would have spooled the effect of the walk, which was really rather pleasant. Until it rained.)
Washing now not dry. Grrr.
Dilemma - shall I rewash said washing? Probably not...

Praying for you all.
I am struggling a bit with stress, and some housing/bills stresses are making me and MrShrew a bit snippy with each other (frustratingly as the stress should be fixable and is due to a communication failure which is neither of our fault).
Please pray for domestic calm and stress reduction. I have recently started a new job, which needs my brain to be completely switched on all day, so I really need to be less anxious at home in order to cope.

Please pray for PB, an artist and cousin of mine whose home and irrepalable art supplies were totally destroyed in the High Park fire in Colorado; also for her son and daughter who are trying to help her sort things out and move on.
I am told some of these fires may smoulder and re-ignite until the winter months, putting families and lives at further risk.

For Lamb Chopped. (Do you have an employment lawyer?)
For the successful delivery of mini doris, and peace of mind for Auntie Doris.
For Mrs S to get off the mushroom track at work.
For a fair and kind outcome for Robert Armin.
For shamwari's neighbour Pat and her husband.
For the rain that falls on the just, the unjust, and St Everild's washing; and wisdom to discern the right response to the myriad dilemmas that face us all, every day. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness; the other, to total extinction. Lord, grant us the wisdom to choose the right road.
For domestic calm and stress reduction in the Shrew household, and career success for Mrs Shrew.
For restoration of the tools of PB's trade, and her home; also for PB's son and daughter. For fire safety for everyone in the area.
I just paid that honking enormous bill, and another week's travelcard, and the result is that I have now spent my last foreseeable paycheck a week before I actually receive it. 1) Why am I so stupid? 2) Why does external stupid happen to me despite my best efforts? 3) Why don't the agents in question get me a tremendously lucrative gig that would repay me a dozenfold? Because that could work.
Er, and funding and continuous employment for me. Thanks.
For K. and all of us who face such struggles.
(I am not in trouble at work after all. I think what happened was that Boss was panicking and I rescued the situation, and then he had 24 hours to cool down; anyway, he was very conciliatory and complimentary today, and I am very relieved about that as I have never had an ugly incident at this workplace and didn't want this to be the first.)

Struggling with cellulitis in my right leg - left leg seems to be improving pretty well in compression... but my leftleg took bloooody months to clear up... but it's the constant aching which may need more than paracetamol to stop its aching - the ulcers are on the back of the leg, and while the constant apply-Inadine-by-the-boxful and cover with pad process is doable - it's the constant pain that is just fucking DEPRESSING!
I'VE HAD ENOUGH! I JUST WANT IT FIXED!

When I saw the Head on Monday morning she said she would talk with the rest of the SMT on Tuesday and get back to me. At 6.40 pm I had a text from her saying they hadn't been able to meet, but she would be in touch on Wednesday afternoon. It's now just after 4.30 pm in the UK; the school day is over and I haven't heard anything. Is this a sign that they really are rethinking my case? Or a sign that they can't be bothered to meet as they have made a decision?
As it is, I'm stuck in Limbo. Part of me is scared stiff, and the other half is relaxed because it can't believe this is happening.

Please pray for our daughter, Willow, as she returns to California to live and complete her anthropology degree. She has gone without securing a place at university and will be in a world of trouble if she doesn't get one in the fall. This is because she has student loans which will come due and payable if she is out of school for six months. At least her physical health is improving and she no longer really needs a wheelchair all of the time, as long as she wears braces on her feet and calves...

I've just heard that my mum, who lives alone, has fallen and broken her wrist today. My brother is with her in hospital, at the moment, but we'll need to sort out what happens next.
She is a fit and healthy 83 year old, but this, I am sure, will have shaken her badly. She sounded very tearful on the phone.
Please pray for a swift healing, with no complications, and a settling of her spirit. My brother, sister and I have suddenly become more aware of how far we are from her, and how difficult things could become.
Thank you all for your faithfulness in this ministry of prayer: I'm all too conscient of my failings in this area.

Prayers for all teachers. I come to the end of term a finger-pointy, shrieking harpy.
I also pray fervently for the department I work in. I find some of the behaviour of staff towards other staff unprofessional. Certain people have personal preferences which they do little to hide. There is a cliquey atmosphere which is not conducive to good working relationships. One member of staff was rude today. When I think of what some people go through at work I get angry with the spoilt, petty, unprofessional behaviour I see in some teachers.

Got a phone call that I didn't want to get.
My friend, K, has told me she has 4th stage liver cancer. I just can't wrap my mind around it and am as devastated as her family is. The doctors are going to try to get the encapsulated tumor out of her liver soon and we are hoping for the best.
Janine gave me a pink wrist bracelet with HOPE on it. I'm keeping the faith and hope right now, it's all I have.

I'm bemused too. What I did was not best practice, but it has happened in other schools over the 20 yrs I've been a teacher. I've never been reprimanded before, let alone standing in fear of losing my job.

Keep the New Mexico fires in mind -- had 5 mph winds today, but the fire headed toward the Sandia Pueblo will have a much higher wind in the night to drive it. The thing has already jumped areas it wasn't supposed to be able to easily cross. News reports online say evacuation orders are in effect there.
People from around there, and people who've visited because of past Santa Fe Shipmeets, will wince as I do from the idea of the fires threatening the people and place we so enjoyed. It gives you that extra concern, when you can put a face on who's in danger.

Six years ago last week, I was blessed with a liver and kidney transplant*
Last week I went back to UVa for my annual check-up. most of the numbers were normal (whatever normal is), but a few measures for liver function were "hinky". The clinic determined that an ultrasound and biopsy was called for. The biopsy was performed last Tuesday. No word yet on the results.
Prayers appreciated.

Thanks for the prayers and support. I'm in touch with my union; once the official letter comes through they will look to see if due procedure has been followed and if I have any sort of case. I'm not holding my breath though. It isn't the first time I've been in a situation like this and my union hasn't done anything much before. But I find it harder to pick myself up each time. The TES will be out tomorrow - there's a bit of me that doesn't want to look at it, as the next one will probably turn to worms too.

I am officially relieved of all the illegal requirements that had been laid on me, my last review has been amended in an upward direction, and I have promises of good behavior from X in the future. Praise be to God. (and I'm shocked--I've seen an HR enquiry that actually WORKED)
