Friday Ramblings

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." -- Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (I got the quote above from a friend on Facebook.)

This is our first week back from the holidays.  I've been doing my best to get Jordan back into the school groove but he is fighting it as is typical for after a break.  Part of it could been that we were still out of routine, Mark had a work trip here the first part of the week.  Hopefully everything will settle back down now that everyone is "in their proper place". 

Leah had her hours cut back right after the first of the year as is typical for retail.  She starts her new school schedule week after next.  She is going to be taking Spanish 2 and Ethics this semester.  She is starting to get some deadlines for school already.  She paid her new student fee this week.  So many little details to attend to this year, organization will be a necessary evil. 

I'm trying a new medicine from the neurologist.  It is helping the symptoms some but they are still there.  I think I'm going to go back to my primary care doctor.  I'm not convinced we are on the right track as to what is wrong.  Hopefully we can narrow down the problem soon.
