In praise of precipitation
I was sooo happy to wake up to a rainy morning today. It's been too long since we got some condensed water in these parts; it's about time that humidity stopped loafing around and applied itself to the ground.
It also spoke to how freaking hot it's been, that when I was walking to my car after work, I thought the temp was perfectly pleasant - and yes, in comparison to 100 degrees, 85 is a balmy day indeed.
I've spent the last couple of days at work chasing down on my computer system error messages with singularly unhelpful descriptions. Whoever had the brilliant idea to program a pop-up to say only "An error has occurred" should be ashamed of themselves. Eventually I removed and reinstalled the code management and request tracking applications, which involved restarting my computer a bunch of times, and finally, all was well. Argh.
The Emperor is not adapting well to the new school. His social skills teacher doesn't seem to be offering him any useful tools or feedback on the issues he encounters; granted, that's reported through his defensive filter, but my heart aches at how frustrated he sounds. I miss his awesome teacher from last year.
I thought we might be able to get through his elementary school years without having to drag him to therapists or investigate medication, but if his school support staff is not up the challenge, we may just have to take those steps.
Bleh. Here's hoping Friday is a nicer day.
