    just got my own bac!

    yep, ricky martin is hot. check out this song that he sings with la mari from chambao:

    but yep, he's gay.

    it's pouring rain here. no planting fruit trees today! i had a great row this morning, first in a couple of weeks. i've missed it, and i thought the season was just about over, but it turns out we can go as long as we want into the cold and windy days, just not with the coached rows. that means that we'll have to lead ourselves (no official cox). learning curve will swing up again!

    innuendo intended.

    i couldn't sleep last night! well, i should've when i was tired, but i was unable to turn off my show (medium), and it was a little scary (girls alone getting killed; even without the gory details, totally scary). sometimes i am my own worst enemy! so i watched two and a half episodes, trying to get to a not-sccary one, and found myself at 1 am totally spooked. then, hallucinations. again with the brambly branches, but this time they were electric white. and flashes of colors. i don't think the se's (the hands, too: all twitchy and tingly; somnolence, not only post-insomnia) are alcohol related. i've only drank a few times in the past few weeks, and they are just as bad all the time. some would say go up, some would say down. i'm choosing the latter option, hoping the cravings don't return. if they do, it's back up i'll go.

    speaking of cravings, the hypno cd the guy gave me is blank! just when i realized i needed it, i put it into the computer and it tells me it;s blank. so, sad to report, i have smoked a few times. it's odd, i don't have cravings like i would have without the hypno; it's not an urgent need, more of a whimsical 'i think that would be fun'. why i don't just ignore it is beyond me. hmm, maybe i'm a hedonist with a death wish? i have hope that i can get back on track, but until another cd comes in the mail from my guy, murph, i'd like to try yours. could you please emailyours to me? ergh.

    here's something my son said a while back that is worth recounting: we were at the ex bf's house, and i was telling him what was so frustrating about relating to him. i was kind of upset but doing a good job of keeping my cool. g was in the other room, keeping himself busy and out of the way. when we left, i thanked him for letting me talk to ex bf without interruption. he said, 'you're welcome mommy. do you think he understood?' i think some day my little guy will make a fine boyfriend for a very lucky girl!

    so, tomorrow, back to work again, for the last day without the students. i was so tired last week i got much of nothing done. tomorrow i'll have to hustle, but i am sure i'll be on top-ish of my game in time for the return of the troops. sadly, i have a really nasty kid in my native speakers class. he was in a beginner class last year, god knows why, and he gave me all kinds of attitude and problems. he once threw a marker at me. for fucks sake! i think i'll have to strangle the guidance counselor who put him iwth me again. instead, though, i'l have a nice chat with him before we get going, encouraging him to find his higher self so we can function together (not in those words of course). he'll be with me for the crucial first period of the day. for my next period, i have the LOUDEST, ugliest (inside and out) girl who was with me last year in my first period of the day. ergh. is someone testing me?! i will also have a chat with her. we had some positive moments toward the end of the year, and i'll refer to those when i encourage her to do the right thing every day for 43 minutes with me. i WILL NOT let these kids drive me to drink again!

    and with that, i'll go find something else productive to do. (i gotta work on this guilt thing! it's really quite a plague. fortunately, i see my shrink -for the first time in a couple of years- next week.)

    ciao for now, folks!

        ok, so these side effects are tripping me out. i feel like i'm drugged. i'm tired, slogging tired, my hands feel like two baloons a la comfortably numb. my skin is tingly to the touch, almost stinging. my face is hot and red. wft? i've gone down 20 mgs, a couple of days ago. could that be it? but this has been going on for several days. i'm tempted to try another 20, go down to 160. ergh and help. i can't be like this at work. i look and seem stoned or drunk. or both.

          you can do tomorrow, rudy. only you there will know what's goin' on in your body. think peace and confidence. walk away from the fear. keep your focus on the task at hand. i will visualize a good day for you, minute by minute. xoxomom

            just got my own bac!

            I wish I could give you advice on this. I'm not so good with the dosing thing. I just beat to my own drum there. Maybe 180 doesn't agree with you. I know it doesn't agree with me, but 160 didn't either...I don't think. It all just runs together now.

            One thing I know for sure... you can get through tomorrow. I wonder if you are extremely stressed about tomorrow anyway, which is contributing to this. I know you are having to deal with some brats. One thing you can be hopeful for, since that boy is in your class first period, maybe he'll be too tired to be his full bratty self. Hopefully, he is constantly sleep deprived (as so many are), and he'll be busy trying to keep his eyes open, instead of throwing markers at you.

            Hang tight Miss Rudy. I hope you'll come back after your day and tell us how it went. Good, bad, or very ugly.

            Was this the song you were writing about, that I should have my kids listen to?

            I downloaded it on my ipod. The kids were hooting and hollering. What a crazy video, huh? I'm hoping you see this before work. At least I hope it puts a smile on your face before you head into the lion's den.

            Hugs sista!

              Smurfett,

              Are you asking if baclofen is legal? It is. Here is a good place to start for info.

                thanks red and mom. tomorrow i can do. the kids aren't there until wednesday. and i can do that too.

                red, i was wondering if maybe a particular dose is the culprit, rather than a general 'too high' dose. maybe 180 and 200 are at fault. yes, it seems like a crapshoot at this point in finding a reason for the tone-deaf rhyme. i feel like, at the mo, the bac is seeping out of me a bit, as my last dose was at around seven, right before i crashed into sleep; i'm feeling a little bit closer to normal. now i'll get my ass back to sleep. gotta be fresh at six am.

                thanks for your input. and yes, red, that is the song i was thinking of. in fact, on the last day of school i played it for my students and we all had a good laugh. is he serious, or is he joking a bit? i think he's serious, given the time period in which the song was made. that kinda attitude was the way to go in the eighties (i think that's when the song was made).

                god it's good to have power again!

                love y'all. nite nite.

                    hey there sammi. thanks for the shout out.

                    thought i should check in at my four am wake to tell you that in this holy Now the se's have abated significantly. hands feel normal, head feels clear and awake (though i wish THAT latter weren't so), and i am fully relieved. i went down to 160 yesterday and think i'll hang here as long as the beast is at bay.

                    now, lets see if the first day with students goes on as planned. it is pouring like morton salt and they're saying flash floods all over the place...

                      Feel for you Rudy, children are disgusting, horrible, annoying creatures. If they give you too much trouble just cane them in front of the class. That should do the trick. You are still allowed to thrash errant students aren't you?

                      Good luck today.

                        I hope you haven't floated away. I saw on the news this am, you guys are getting hit with some torrential rain. Right after being hit by the hurricane. I hope you are alright and staying afloat.

                          Hi peeps --Rudy was okay this morning when she phoned me on her way to her second day with the "kids". Yes, there has been lots of rain in these parts, but now the skies are clear and the moon is nearly full and very bright, promising a beautiful weekend ahead to give relief to so many still recovering from Irene.

                          Thank you, thank you all for being there for my gal. It's wonderful to see how much soul shines through your posts to each other.

                          Hugs all around from Rudy's mom.

                            Rudy, you being gone for so long after going back to school leads me to believe that the pressure of dealing with crazy kids while sober has left you in confines. How you doing?

                                hey y'all~! me here. rudy.

                                thanks for checkin in while i was away for those two whole days.

                                i just deleted a whole bunch of personal stuff cause a few hours later it seems too much to share. but when anything comes to fruition from what i'm not telling you, i'll be sure to let you know... sorry to be a tease. but i'll give you a hint, and the best line from it: trying to find dates by going out at night when i can't even stay up past nine pm cause i get so tired is, for me, like trying to get sober by going to aa meetings. there, i've said what i'm doing without really saying it. i feel better now, not having told you exactly how i'm casting my shag net wider. thank you for caring.

                                in the morning, a ray of joy and hope: i row from my beloved local city to the one south, a sixish mile row one way. there, at that southern city, we northerners will share a potluck with the southern crew (i am hoping, naturally, there will be at least one shag-worthy gentelman in attendance). then, we will row the six miles back north, where i will disembark and proceed on the next leg of my journey: buying, at steal-deal prices at the annual tent sale, gear for snowboarding for my son and me to equip our winter adventures that will start within a few short months.

                                kids at school are not beasts this year. i have grown very lucky! my native speakers are my first of the day and they are the epitome of LOVEY. i had them in the palm of my hand by minute 31, day one. and hector, the kid who threw the marker at me, is totally COOL, a different animal entirely from the one i knew in my beginner spanish class. he never belonged there, and he had something to prove to those particular kids. in this class, I have a totally different persona to the one that he knew w my beginners (not to mention how my persona has changed now that i'm not going to work hungover every day). he's cool, respectful, and obviously enamored of me. this fuckin ROCKS! i don't even need to have that warning conversation with him, that one where i convey love and caution in the same every-breath of every word. and that loud girl who used to rock my world to horrible pieces, put holes in my armor first period of the day, she is behaving herself. yes, i know, it's the first three days of the year, but i refuse to get skeptical already. i can nip any shit in the bud, and i will. and administrators will have no bees in their bonnets about the multitude of disciplinary referrals i write because i won't be writing many 'cause this year i can handle my shit in-house.

                                the goose hangs high in high school. but, enough about that for now. i gotta get up at five thirty am, to be on the river an hour later. i'm taking to the potluck squash, tomatoes, greens and capers stewed up nice. all from my garden, of course. wish me luck meeting mister rower dude hotter than the lasts. but i'm planning on some fun by some channel somehow, and sometime very soon any which way.

                                can't wait to catch up on your other exciting threads.
                                love y'all.
