Computers suck

My computer needs a new motherboard. Each of my 3 USB ports went out one-by-one, & even though my computer still basically functions I can't back up any thing or print or even sync my iPod! Grrr!
My sister got better news. She does have pancreatic cancer but they think it and the eight tumors in her abdomen are treatable with chemo. Gives her a little longer. Damn it, if she'd only gone to a gastro sooner!

Hard days...

My sister was dx'd w/ pancreatic cancer this week, & its spread to her liver & abdomen already. They give her about 3-6 months. My cousin Robbie died suddenly at 40 yesterday. This is just a horrible week. I can't wait to get back to work to get some normalcy!
I never even ventured outside today, so I have no nature to talk about. My dog cuddled w/ me though this afternoon, so that was good! Tomorrow I brave Wally World.
Meager thoughts today indeed...

On becoming a teacher...

I made it (barely) thru my first semester as an instructor at CCC in Page, AZ.
I loved it for the most part, but had some plagiarism issues. I will probably go overboard this semester trying to instill honesty in my new students, but hey, they need it too.
Busy as all get-out, but loving it,
Auntie Jane
