4/23 Shasta

WCR: Most Ps in place. Appy is only so-so, but she also hasn't pooped in over 24 hours. Also, at some point in the overnight hours, she left me another surprise...hairball. She's had about 3-4 fairly large hairballs lately. I even told my landlady yesterday that once shedding season was over, I'd need to shampoo the carpets thanks to Shasta & her sensitive tummy. Otherwise, I got nice snuggles last night & this morning she joined me at alarm time. She did get in a good bite this morning when I was brushing her...I have the bandaid to show for it.

OT: So, with a month left until graduation/two weeks until our final concert, I have a senior who has decided I am the root of all evil. She's been one of my best students and I have adored every minute of having her in my program. This semester has been a different story with her and I'm so hurt by the accusations she's made about me playing favorites with others over her. This has been weighing heavily on my heart for a few months now and it all came to a head yesterday when she learned that she didn't get chosen for one of the solos in Vivaldi's Gloria (concert in 2 weeks). I guess in her mind, the girl that will be singing the solo could never have done a better job than her?! (4 girls auditioned & I had 4 other professionals listen to & rate them.) I'm just sad that this is the way we will be ending 4 years of great singing & camaraderie. I went to a Zumba class last night (first time ever) to try to work out some of my stress...chiropractor wasn't happy with my decision but said that if I kept it "low impact" it might be good for my stress level. I tried to keep it low impact...but I really stink at doing low impact. I'm going to feel it tomorrow.

Sorry for the rant.

T.G.I.F. Sending healthy vines to all our sugar kitties and their hoomins! Blessings!

Morning Deborah

it is nice to see the low yellows this morning. I hope she surfs well. oh wow on the carpet thing, the shampooing etc. what kitty doesn't have hairballs... oh well huh, kitty first carpet second. I hope Shasta has a good day today. eat your fuds little one.

I am sorry about your student. That has to be difficult. But maybe a lesson in life for this student. Not not easy.... Know you've done the best you could, it's in her court now. Perhaps she will come around as the year closes. I hope so.

Have a great day today. I hope all goes well.

Shasta, a little poop would be nice. In the box. Firm but not hard. Easy instructions. Do it. Please.

Sorry about the hairballs. 'Tis the season, I suspect.

And really sorry about the student. I coached high school debate for 30 years. Highly competitive kids. And every now and then, highly competitive parents! Made for some difficult coaching decisions and some nose-out-of-joint kids and parents. Funny that those situations stick with us so much more than the "good" times and happy kids. But don't forget the happy kids, the successful kids, the mature kids. They're there, too.
