Just finished my first full week at work! It was great. The only problem is I’m very sleepy during the day and keep falling asleep, or at least feeling like I am, in class. This CAN’T happen. I’m not sure what to do about it. I get 9-10 hours of sleep a night. Caffeine doesn’t affect me, just makes me hungry. I’m thinking maybe I’m not eating enough calories in the AM. I just have a bowl of cereal and then I’m starving two hours later. I’m wondering if I should buy some meal bars and keep them at work. Then I can have a snack mid morning. It might wake me up.

I never got the results of my drug test. No one ever called to tell me they were in. I’m hoping that means it came back from the lab negative. I will find out soon though as I have to go for a physical. Not a crazy run two minutes and lift fifty pounds physical though. Thank goodness!

My student is really sweet. Initially they were going to put me with someone who was more a behavioral student but they ended up putting me with a little girl (I say little girl but she’s probably 18 years old) in a wheelchair who needs to be fed and changed and all of those things. She can’t speak but she can blink for yes, or hit her head switch for yes when she feels like it. She’s really adorable and sweet. I’m happy to have her.

Tomorrow is my brother in law’s funeral. It will be an all day affair. He was a firefighter and in the military. So there will be one funeral for firefighters and one for military members. Then he will have a full military burial. While I wasn’t close with him, seeing his fiancé will certainly trigger memories of my husband’s funeral. Thankfully I am in a stable place and able to handle such feelings without too much trouble.
