Had a wake-up call from XW, telling me that she was going into school to complete a class so she can volunteer in S6's class, so I wouldn't need to drive him in. I was already waking up, so I was clear-headed enough to say, "Hey, thats really nice of you. Thanks for calling." She didn't brighted or respond in kind, but it felt good to start the day off on a more positive footing with her.
Her ad bothered me more last night, then I read s/t from The Divorced Dad's Survival Book by David Knox: "The fact that you are separated or divorced does not automatically result in your feeling depressed. Rather, it is the way you perceive the event that creates negative feelings." I'm working hard today to get back to that positive excitement about my future and to keep my mood lighter.
My semester's load of teaching starts today. Off to teach 200 rowdy freshmen in my first class [tends to feel a bit like Showtime at the Apollo].
