I wore a veil, but it didn't cover my face. I forgot to put it on for pre-wedding photos and forgot to take it off after the ceremony. I think it was around $100 and I loved it, especially the detail along the edge. It came down below my elbows, but wasn't so long that I ever sat on it.
Yikes. I hope she calms down and levels out, because that's ridiculous. Telling people they're doing stuff wrong when she doesn't know how the place functions yet is crazy.
They hired a new clinical supervisor/program manager for my part-time program at work. She's wanting to observe every therapeutic group we do, even ones that aren't part of the program, and asks a million questions instead of letting us come to her with supervision issues. She's nowhere near as detail oriented and she's driving me nuts, so I can feel your pain a little. I hope things get better at your work soon!
Fuss, I'm so sorry you've seen this terrible disease too. It's not fair, it usually strikes the young ones.
It is so not fair, but I will tell you something, seven-year-old fuss snapped a photo of my little kitty Shibui in her "spot" (the special spot in my room where she spent her final days), and after she passed I put that photo in a little frame that had a picture of a little black kitty on it, and I still have that little photo and frame 30 years later! Your love and devotion to Scotty will endure, too.
Awwww. I will always have photos of him, and I still have a framed photo of Angie on my desk at work.
I think one of the hard parts is that we adopted a younger cat thinking we wouldn't have to deal with serious health issues and would have a long time with him. And now it feels like we were robbed of that time. It's about a month shy of 2 years since we adopted him. I know he'll always be in my heart, but it's hard to think about his physical presence being gone.
Thank you ladies. Seriously. Your support means so much. I know many of you were also there for me when Angie died and I've always appreciated that support as well.

I call him my baby Biscotty often. His nickname is Biscotty (like biscotti only with an American pronunciation). I'm probably going to be a mess the next few days, so thanks in advance for your patience. The good thing is that at least on Saturday it will be his/our regular vet.
I think I've mentioned on here that Scotty has FIP, which is a terminal illness. We've been trying an experimental treatment but it doesn't seem to have been helping. He's been getting slowly worse, and has suddenly seemed worse over the last 24 to 48 hours.
DH and I talked tonight. We've realized that it's time. I hate having to make this decision but I also hate watching him suffer and becoming less and less himself. I've been watching the light just drain out of him. He was my little sunshine cat when he came home, and now he's a frail old guy who doesn't eat much and doesn't move around much. :-( :-(
This is him in happier times, but still after the diagnosis.
I'm so sorry BQQ. Huge creepy internet hugs to you. I agree with everyone else, lean on your friend and loved ones now. Go places with them even if you don't want to (even if it's only Red Robin/Chili's/etc.). Be with only people who love and support you.
I would gladly join the husband-hurting party because that disgrace of a man doesn't deserve you and you don't deserve to go to jail for harming him yourself. It's completely his loss. What an asshole.
Disappointments? Umm...the first antibiotic I was on didn't seem to be working. Luckily my endodontist called in a prescription for a new antibiotic and FINALLY the pain is almost gone.
Randoms: I finally tried TJ's salted caramel chai and it is delicious. Also, I've brought one of my friends over to the dark side with nail painting/art. Also, I got full last night off soup. And then proceeded to go out with a friend and nurse one glass of wine all night while enjoying the people watching. I've realized one benefit to drinking very moderately is that I don't crave any crappy food at the end of the night. I just wanted to go home, change into PJs, and go to bed.
I got the Prabal Gurung cape today. No idea where I'll wear it or what I'll wear it with, but for less than $25 it was too cute and worth it. So...any ideas ladies?
Also, there were a TON of TR top & dress and the RR dress. I wanted to love the dress but it fit awkwardly and was not at all flattering. I'm still debating the TR top.
The TR top is the sequin top, Lela Rose did the lace top and printed dress. Is that the top you are debating or the sequin one?
I think the cape would be cute for any evening look, with a dress, or even fun with skinny jeans and cute top on a spring or fall night instead of a jacket. Depending where you live it's probably way too cold for that now!
Yes you're right, I meant the Lela Rose dress and the Tracy Reese top. OOPS! I am still debating on the TR sequined top.
Thanks for the ideas on the cape. Even though I'm in So Cal it is too cold for the cape right now, otherwise I'd wear it tonight! I went to my car this morning and there was frost all over it!

School-based therapist at a non-public school. I do individual and group therapy as well as teach social skills groups.
There are instructional aides at our site who are off work by 4pm every day. If school started earlier, they'd be out by 3pm, I think. You could look into something like that as it would also get you exposure to people with hiring power in special ed settings. Good potential networking.
I have a BA in psychology and an MA in counseling psychology.
