Monday
I woke up fairly early because I had a couple of phone calls to make. I called Steve Ross, my mom's financial advisor. I wanted to get his advice about my best move to make and ask him about the situation with my house. He came here at about 5 pm. He had an appointment with my brother Jack for later. He was very nice and friendly. He believes that my best bet is to collect unemployment--and he could relate to my situation as he had worked as a teacher for many years at a vo-tech (in Waseca) when he was terminated and replaced with two new, younger, cheaper teachers. He commiserated that being dismissed with only two years to go till retirement was a slap in the face and extremely unfair, but "that's the way they do things."
He also told me that I will have to declare the money being paid by Amy and Josh on my house as income--even though I will not benefit from it in any way. His suggestion is to have them pay 15% more than they pay for the whole monthly shebang, to go towards taxes. Or, he suggests that the kids buy it now on a 30 year mortgage with their parents as co-signers because of their poor credit rating.
I feel like I am getting fucked straight up the ass without lube every time I turn around these days.
Prior to Steve's visit, right after I got up, I put all fresh bedding on my bed, including the comforter I had bought a while back but have never used. It is really pretty and has butterflies on it.
I putzed around in my room for a while, then ate the other half of my Jimmy John's sandwich. It was a combination breakfast/lunch. Mom and I split the other elephant ear while we watched some judge show on tv.
After that, I went into my room and worked on organizing my patterns. I got a lot of "Ellery" patterns put into the correct folders and filed a few Tyler, Marley, and Matt O'Neil patterns. When it got to be after 4 pm, I went upstairs to wait for Steve. I brought a cover from one of my totes with me as a measuring tool as I have a tote here which was just a little bigger than the cover I had. I also brought down another medium sized tote and a shoe-box sized one.
When Steve left, Mom and I ate a supper of corn on the cob, boiled potatoes, sliced tomatoes, and cucumbers which had been soaked in vinegar water. We each had a piece of the cheesecake that was left over for dessert.
I read a few more pages of The Swiss Family Robinson, but I am still quite a long way from the end.
Mom and I watched a couple episodes of Pawn Stars, then I put my feet up in the recliner, laid back, and fell asleep. I woke up when Mom turned the TV off just before 10 pm, so I came downstairs, took my pills, and dinked around on the computer for a litle while. I had a pretty good conversation with Shane via Facebook, and he is as loyal and devoted as a hound dog. He's willing to take on the school board for me if need be.
I forgot to mention that I also talked to Jay today. I am covered by insurance through August for sure, but he also said that the school's legal reps advised him against paying my insurance...saying it would set a bad precedence for the future. I am afraid that that promise, like many others, is just so much piss in the wind. *sadness*
But, there's nothing I can do about it. I will have to find some way to pay for my meds--some of them are cheap, but some are ridiculously expensive.
Megan Lovelace and Derrick Brucki and some other kids called me from school today. It was good to hear their voices. The little goobers. I love them so much. They told me the new teacher was "mean" and "a bitch" and that they wanted me to come back. I told them that was what I wanted too. Hopefully the kids will continue to press for my return.
And, in the most unChristian of ways, I wish my successor nothing but failure...though I tell the kids to treat her respectfully and cooperate with her because that is the right thing to do and it really isn't her fault that I don't have my job...but that does not stop me from privately hoping she goes down in flames. I am sure I will pay for this in bad karma...but I can't make myself stop hoping.
On Tuesday, I want to finish filing the patterns, do laundry, and go through the laundry basket of miscellaneous stuff that is sitting on the bar in the family room. I am also having an urge to bake cookies--but I think I will hold off on that until Wednesday when Mom is at her Bible study.
That's it for today, I guess.
