omigoodness
so much to tell you
first and foremost
i have officially accepted the position as a self-contained special educator at another school
i had the official interview today, but it was just a formality as i had already been told it was mine if i wanted it
the interview was more of an introduction
i met the asst principal and the master teachers
of course i already know the principal
she and i taught together for many years at a middle school here in town
i had gone to see BD last week to tell her that i had put in the paperwork to ask for a transfer and that i wanted to accept the position at RWE
she seemed surprised to hear that i had been so unhappy----what a joke!
as many times as i let her know and that one day she made me CRY ----please
i told her that even though it was summer and stress levels should be nil, i was having nightly dreams about work that made me wake up saying i dont want to go back
she wished me well and said i would be missed
i am like #8 to transfer so far from our school this year, and more to come!
at least she was nice to me at our lil meeting; ive heard she's been quite ugly to some
other things on my list
my temporary bridge came out friday and my dentist is in chicago for some rotary meeting
the dentist on call was soooooooo cute and so nice
he didnt even charge me for going to his office on a friday(they dont see patients on fridays)
there was no charge whatsoever
next time i need a new dentist i know where i'm going
and if you are keeping score, this is hot doc #2 this month to waive fees
i'm waiting for the other shoe to drop
last nite i passed a kidney(?) stone
i put the question mark as it is possible it is a bladder stone
but since my daddy has had frequent problems with kidney stones i assume that malady has been placed in my corner as well as others i have inherited from parental units---anytime something bad happens---medically speaking---i ask which parent is to blame so i can add it to my list
my mri results indicate a narrowing of neural canals in my spine as the cause of my pain and numbness discussed before; my pdoc says to continue the meds prescribed by the neuro and to continue with the chiropractics

A giant dominatrix teddy bear wearing a leather mask and brandishing hand-cuffs has been banned from sober Zurich's street display of man-sized model bears, the project's artistic director said Tuesday. While tourists pose for snaps next to a brightly-painted and benign array of models such as the 'schoolteacher bear' and the 'skier bear,' 'Baervers' -- a pun on the German for perverse -- has been deemed too steamy for the financial capital's streets. The bear appears here in a yard in Zurich, May 24, 2005. (Sebastian Derungs/Reuters)

had some dental work done today
one tooth pulled, another straightened, and a temporary bridge put in
daddy was back in the hospital for two days this week
his meds AND the heat caused him to become too dehydrated and his pressure dropped extremely low
he's okay now
have i ever mentioned that i was offered a job at another school by the principal there---right in front of BD
well i've decided to take it
more on that later
it's thundering and armando needs me to cuddle with him--he's afraid of the thunder for some reason

On the first day God created the dog. God said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I'll give you back the other ten." So God agreed.
On the second day God created the monkey. God said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them laugh. I'll give you a twenty-year life span." The monkey said, "How boring. Monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?" And God agreed.
On the third day God created the cow. God said, "You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixty years." The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty and I'll give back the other forty." And God agreed again.
On the fourth day God created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. I'll give you twenty years." Man said, "What? Only twenty years?! Tell you what, I'll take my twenty, and the forty the cow gave back and the ten the monkey gave back and the ten the dog gave back... that makes eighty, okay?" "Okay", said God, "You've got a deal."
So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves; for the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family; for the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren; and for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.

text from Why Do Men Have Nipples? by Marl Leyner and Billy Goldberg, M.D.
"Is sperm nutritious?or fattening?"
You are what you eat. In this case, it is somewhat true as sperm contains important genetic material. But sperm is not particularly nutritious or fattening. The average ejaculate, about 1 teaspoon, contains between 200 and 300 million sperm. Total calories: about 5. These calories are derived from proteins(including enzymes) and sugars (mainly fructose) secreted into semen by the prostate gland to provide the sperm with the energy to swim.
Other good stuff found in semen incldes water, vitamin c, citric acid, phosphate, bicarbonates, zinc, and prostaglandins.
so indulge my friends
have as much as you like
the doctor says its neither good nor bad for you
(of course this doesnt address the possibilities of std's, but that's a whole other issue)

yesterday was my very first root canal
i have heard many a person moan and whine about the suffering from one
it was nothing
today i had my very first mri
it was an "open air" mri
whatever
i fought to keep from screaming in abject terror the entire time
i could NEVER do the enclosed type, that's for sure
never again unless they give me a shot of the good stuff first
the images i saw online when i did a search were unlike the machine i was in
although open on the sides, the roof was only millimeters above my face, and i had to keep my eyes closed
twice i mistakenly opened them and could only think that i wa entombed
thirty minutes is a long long time to be in such mindless fear
i suppose i was more in control than i give myself credit for
after all, i didnt scream to be let out
i made it through
but i promise you that it was one of the most horrible experiences of my life
i'll take a root canal on every tooth in my mouth in one sitting over an mri any day
