Today’s Football Chronicles… I witnessed one of THEE MOST poorly officiated games in my history of spectating during last night’s game between East Forsyth and Grimsley. My dad was/is a ref and I always wanted to be one so I am sensitive to the job they have. Many are still learning. Even though there is… Continue reading 12.07.2019

Today’s Human Relations Chronicles… I have not read a book more intently, as quickly or with as much emotion (probably because I simultaneously read The Son Does Shine) as Just Mercy. I am so happy Bryan Stevenson is alive to witness the gift I know Michael B. Jordan and Jaime Foxx will offer. This will… Continue reading 12.05.2019

Today’s Work Chronicles… It is typically quite difficult to get anyone to answer on either of the units after 5p. A resident mishandled one of the cordless phones and you could hear numbers being dialed throughout the entire facility. All of sudden, people (who can never be found when hospitals or labs call) from both… Continue reading 12.04.2019

Yesterday’s Financial Literacy Chronicles… I saw the attached article on Kismet’s page and began sharing it and/or asking people if they had an estate plan. I started talking to Michai about my wishes and that, although I don’t have much property, I want to make sure he doesn’t end up having to fight in court… Continue reading 12.03.2019

Today’s Parenting Chronicles… Up until 8th grade, my mother used to keep Michai every Wednesday offering me mid-week respite. My weekly respite now comes from 30 minutes of Meditation at the Y. Listen, I know the Y is a Christian organization, but pairing meditation with a little wine won’t hurt. Ok, I’m back. Michai is… Continue reading 11.21.2019

Today’s WSFCS Superintendent Listening Session Chronicles… I thought I would be listening to Dr. Hairston discuss her plans for the district. Had I known she was going to be listening to the audience, I probably wouldn’t have gone because these events can be awkward. Dr. Hairston can talk, but she was “talking good” and differently… Continue reading 11.20.2019

Today’s High School Chronicles… Mount Tabor offers a forum series and tonight’s session was about Mental Health. Great information was offered, most of which I already knew from previous discussions or learned about from experience. What was startling to learn is how young students have been found vaping (3rd Grade) and how the CBD edibles,… Continue reading 11.19.2019

Today’s Community Chronicles… It has taken me 24 hours to get my mind together after attending the “Dismantling the Benefits Cliff” session where I participated in a simulation involving real financial situations families (mine included) in our community faced/face (insert a comma where you see fit). A few things discussed that alerted me: •It’s very… Continue reading 11.13.2019

Today’s Work Chronicles… I need a drink and a nap… Yesterday, I listened to my mother discuss how she was treated while helping a recently discharged and disabled resident obtain his meds from the poisonous Wal-Mart Pharmacy. Today, I was faced with a resident calling close to 6p (meaning it was dark) to say he… Continue reading 11.11.2019
