First and foremost, I learned that a former coworker of mine in DC has lost her son, a 23 year old Marine who was killed in Afghanistan. When we were in DC and Matt was still in the Army, she and I would talk about the military all the time. Roni, I'm thinking about you!
Second, I learned that another coworker of mine from DC ended up in the emergency room, and from there was transferred to another area hospital for brain surgery. Even though I haven't been in DC for over four months and my communication with my amazing friends at the hospital has been limited, I was totally shocked and have been extremely concerned about her. Thankfully, from what I have learned, she is doing great and plans on returning to work next week.
Whew! And, if that isn't enough turmoil, I saw two new students this week - and both informed me that they had been raped. Talk about a downer work week.
Additionally, I had an extremely vivid dream the other night featuring my beloved Grammy, who passed away in March. I miss you, Grammy!
I'm looking forward to the long weekend, and hope to relax and do some fun cooking. I hope you have a great weekend!
