Still not feeling well. I didn't go to class today. I think I am going to lay off food for a while. Just small light meals from now on.

I've been working on my lesson plans. It's fun to see what I have to teach and how little time I have to do it in. The first ten chapters in the text take us from an unpopulated continent up to but not including the Civil War. There is a lot of information there.

I was sitting in a coffee shop today waiting for Wakana to finish her class. I was working on my laptop and got a message that someone had posted a message for me on Facebook. I flipped over there, read her message and then scanned down to see what else I had missed.

That's where I found out about Sandy Paton.

Next thing I know I have tears flowing down my face and I can't focus on anything. A friend walked into the shop, a colleague from ND, and saw me crying. My God this has been an awful year. I feel so bad for Caroline. I remember her watching over one of her grandkids (Kaelan?) using a little telescope because her eyes were so bad. And now she's alone. Life just isn't fair.
