Found out who the student was who committed suicide. She has no older siblings that I am aware of and she was new to the school this past year from what I gathered from my homeroom students. I knew who she was from bus duty, and she did have mental health issues from what I have overheard out there. We luckily have extra counselors here today for everyone and they are letting students go home if they need it, but so far my kids are sad but not devastated. This was best case scenario for me. The eighth graders, however, are a mess (as expected), especially since many didn't know until they walked into school this morning. I do have freshman at the end of the day that were friends with her. That will be hard. The whole situation is just heartbreaking.
**trigger warning done**
Andplusalso it's CD1. Fuck this day.
Good luck- it's awful when a student dies. Suicide makes it worse because there are just so many unanswered questions.
starbuck27 - I'm still trying to decide if I should wear heels or flats to a wedding this weekend. I would normally do heels to the ceremony and change on the way to the reception but it's all in one place. I think flats will win.
Oh god...if an electronic isn't working it's like the whole world just collapsed. He once broke his iPhone by slamming it on the counter bc the internet wasn't working fast enough...on an island. I was like, you do realize it's a miracle the Internet works at all here, right? He can laugh about it now and realizes it was dumb, but I can't even imagine being that mad at an electronic device. I'd just put it down and walk away...
Ugh, I think if DH ever broke his phone because he was being dumb he would be phoneless. Seriously as an adult that kind of behavior is just not ok with me. I can't imagine getting that mad at something either.
He lived with a cracked screen for months as penance.

How many times is too many to listen to Bad Blood on repeat? Is about 17 excessive? No? Phew, then I'm ok.
I too am *slightly* obsessed, it is so damn catchy! H was talking to me the other day and it came on the radio, I told him to shut up so I could hear it. ha ha! Sorry H

Suddenly, my right eye is seeing double. Left eye sees just fine, but with both eyes open everything is very blurry. I think I can function, but working in front of a computer is going to get tougher if it doesn't clear up. It's been going on for about 15 minutes.

Ideas? Leaving work is not an option.
Leaving work is definitely an option. Eyes are not something to mess with ESPECIALLY if you are having sudden vision changes. I would call an eye doctor ASAP.

I've watched the video more times than I care to admit. I'm obsessed with the bestie cameos.
I just read a Buzzfeed article about the signs in the video that could mean the song is about Katy Perry. Yes...I'm verging on loser status at this point.
rablissful, you and your community are in my thoughts. I had two classmates commit suicide, and it has had a lifelong affect on me. I'm so sorry you and your students are experiencing this heartbreak, and I'm so sad for the young lady and her family.
As for me, I'm getting ready to go to sleep. I spent most of last night in ER. My temp spiked to 104.8, and I couldn't get it under control with meds, bath, or cold compress. The ER docs couldn't get it under control either. It finally broke around midnight (after I'd been at the ER for three hours). They diagnosed me with a severe kidney infection and started some IV antibiotics and fluids. I got home a little before 3 am.
I was in charge of DS's class breakfast this morning, and he had his Kindergarten Spring Sing. Now that I'm finished with those responsibilities, I'm going to bed. See you all tonight!
Good morning lovelies! I am so happy its Thursday. Tomorrow H and I are having a date night. A new salsa dance studio opened up in our neighborhood and I"m trying to convince H to take a beginning lesson. He's not into it. Boo.
Tell him "fine, I'll go alone. I'm sure lots of hot men will want to be my partner." See if that helps.

AGREE. If you weren't able to breath or speak, you'd leave work. Seeing is just as important! And sometimes vision problems can be caused by more serious underlying issues. Please get yourself to an urgent care clinic!
Edit: Maybe that was a tad dramatic. At least call someone.
When DH and I started talking about upgrading one of the cars to an SUV, he made a big deal about getting to drive the new car and threw a tantrum when I told him that I should drive it because I have a 7 mile commute and he has a 30 mile one. Well, he starts a new job a Monday and we purchased a Honda Pilot this past weekend. He will now be driving it, because our commutes are almost identical, but he has a better parking lot. I'm irrationally annoyed now that he "gets" the new car.

And so many hugs, rablissful. Be gentle and open with yourself and your students today. These things can bring up a lot of feelings, even if you had no relation to the victim. Plus with CD1, you deserve some extra self-TLC.
Thank you! He has Ulcerative Colitis, and I have Crohn's Disease, so they're a pretty regular occurrence around our house. The worst part is the prep, which was yesterday-today he gets knocked out, so it could be much worse.
Agreed, the prep is the worst. The drugs for the procedure are the best. I have Crohn's too, so I feel your pain. Literally.
Yes, prep is for sure the worst. I've had three so far in my life and "look forward" to many more. My mom got colon cancer and died pretty young, so I started getting them at 25.
