Someone Won the Pool

Well, the ladies at school started a pool to see how long I would go without working. I lasted less than 24 hours. Hospice called and asked if I would take a client. It is just three days a week for 6 hours. Of course I said yes. I started today. Nice lady, can't tell you about her (confidentiality). I had some feelings I wasn't quite ready for. I thought about Imogene all day. I really missed her today. I kinda feel guilty. I know it sounds silly. I know she would not want me to feel this way. I think about her every day. Having Deano makes the hurt less...but it doesn't take it away. I don't want to get close to a client again...I know the reality of why I am there...they are dying. But I was just blind-sided when Imogene passed. We had so many plans, ball-games to go to, tv shows to watch. I guess I was the only one who refused to see her health deteriorating. (side thought~what I am writing has nothing to do with the title I gave this post...oh well.)

The boys had practice today. Tiernon is wearing that thumb guard again...his thumb is swollen from jamming it in the practice game last night. I am going to see if the swelling goes down on it's own. Really, there is nothing the Dr. can do about a broken thumb...except put it in the guard again.

Chicago is only a few days away. I am getting kinda nervous about the drive. We all know I hate to drive. I hope the hotel is nice. I know the boys will use the pool.

Oh, a young girl was shot and killed last night here in town. She was only 18. It happened around 3-something am. I know the family, but I didn't know the girl. I remember Reggie's grandma saying the only things that are open at 3am are legs and hospitals...I get it now...she was saying that nothing good can come from being out at that time of night. It is sad that she lost her life...but it makes me think about "choice". We all make the choice to be where we are. I know everything happens for a reason, I just hope someone learned something from this experience.

Talking way to much tonight. Going to bed. Goodnight
