After the time change, I don't know how Gil's day has gone, but a quick stop at Starbucks this morning, and my day got off to a crazy start. PERT testing (a college ready-ness test) was this morning and we weren't quite ready for it. Passes didn't go out as we (guidance counselor & I) had hoped so things did not get started as we hoped. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
I was hoping Gil might pick up Dani so I could go for a run, but he had a lot going on: His dad going to the nursing home to visit mom, a run thru of the Easter play at church, including setting up a black-out curtain, and then meeting up with a friend of his from Tallahassee (Hi Alan!!). So when I got home I went for a run with Snoopy.
I had been waiting to hear about Dani's new family, and when on the third lap around Datsko park, I let Snoop off leash for a bit. That's when I got the call...and snoopy disappeared. I had just passed a dad carrying his kid on his shoulders and I think the extra large person scared snoop and I was on my phone about Dani's new family and didn't react quick enough!!
After freaking out for about 20 minutes, wandering around the park, calling for him, asking if anyone had seen him. Called Gil, got him all worried too. Finally called Danielle and asked her to take a look outside and within minutes she called me back...he was home.
I didn't record how fast I ran home, but it was fast, I think. I just know I was so happy and relieved when I opened the door and Snoopy greeted me. Dani was kind of funny. She said she opened the garage door and he charged at her from the neighbors yard. He was so happy to be home...and I was happy when I got home and he was there safe & sound.
Finally, got our lead on Danielle's new family. It's been a while coming, but it looks like we finally have a home. We will be moving her tomorrow evening. I have 2 meetings tomorrow after school so Gil may have to do the move. That will make a busy day for him after day full of appointments at Moffitt.
Otherwise we are doing fine. It's going to be a busy week as Gil starts his organ testing this week, plus all the Easter stuff starting up.
March 11: easter play; experiment with blackout screen
March 12 starting at 8am - 2:30 pm
PET scan (no food), financial, pre-visit screening, meg lab?, social worker (maybe that's the psychologist?); Hopefully we'll find out about housing at this point and I'll get with our potential house sitters; Move Dani ??

My substitute should visit school sometime around the end of the week to see how it all works and answer any questions.

At least today is over...almost.

Carol, lean on your friends and family - know that they, we - and especially, God hold you and Gil close inthesedays of transitions and experiences. Hang in there and stay focused on you and Gil - everything else will take care of itself (or you realize that it wasn't that important)!

Glad to hear Snoop dog is home, and Dani has a new home lined up! I am glad you will get a break from your job at least while you are with Gil for his treatment.
