I went to a meeting at Pulaski Elementary today. I was given a list of the student who are coming to me next year. I am hopeful about the way next year looks. The fact that I have already been given my roster tells me that I have been rehired. Nontenured teachers sometimes have to wait to hear such news. My next evaluation is tomorrow with the principal. We're covering money.

I was given a list of Adult Group Homes that have MHDD license yesterday by my therapist. It was a little bit daunting at first but I've given myself an assignment to call a few each day. Today I took the list to work and asked specific people if they'd ever heard of any on the list. No one was familiar with any of them. That was kind of troublesome. But then I came home and called three of them. The first one had the wrong number listed. The second didn't answer. The third one is a keeper. I went ahead and put Barry's name on the waiting list. It has a website that I pulled up. It looked wonderful! I figure it's a long shot but it's better to be safe than sorry. That third facility gave me a lot of hope.

I went by the bank after school today to see if we still had a checking or savings account for the Al-Anon group. The checking account is closed. But our prudent reserve was still there. Becky will have to meet with me one day after school to get the account updated. I went on and withdrew some money to order materials that we had talked about. I also want to get a P.O. Box for our mail to be sent to. Since we don't have rent, I think that would be a good idea. But ultimately it will be a group decision. I'm grateful we had that prudent reserve.
