Day 100 -- hard to believe

Yes, I flaked out last night and did not get day 99 written up.  I think after sitting with the Couples Club group, that followed the Open House for prospective Office Leaders, I had so much I was trying to process that I just went to bed.  I also knew that LinCare would deliver my CPAP tooday, and I think I just wanted to go to sleep to get today here ASAP.
Today was full -- and some of the happenings served to crystallize a lot of the stuff that wouldn't come together yesterday.  The meeting with Mike M.  was very productive.  As I had expected, he wanted to meet with George and me to tell us face to face that the TOSC program would not be going forward.  We talked of where the talents of the team could be best used, and he clarified that the changes in the company are oriented around staying simple and tax return based.  I think I am very well prepared, from our conversation today, to meet with the team on the 19th.  I plan to meet with Mike T. before then, if possible, and discuss with him the possibility of having a district wide phone list of "trouble shooters" who can be called when they are in the office doing taxes -- in essence moving the Tax Side from the Division level back to the Office level; the list creation as support for both the OL  who has primary accountability for coaching (with three other areas of concern and responsibility).  Don't know if it will be compatible with Mike's plans -- only way to find out is to ask.
Both boys came over today.  I was a little late getting away from the meeting with Mike and had to pick them up at Lee's school.  It was absolutely delightful having them together -- it was different.  When it is just Jarrod and me, we get tasks done and things put up.  The putting up suffered today -- but that is far outweighed by having them both here.  We had some rain so we ended up watching Mall Cop together -- and Josh spent some of that time cuddling with me in my chair.  As the movie progressed, he found out that couch as the better view for him -- and he could stretch out.  As we had agreed, Lee arrived and I ordered the Ceasers Pizza for us to have supper, with enough to take to Renee for her dinner.  We ate and watched.  Sometime during the movie, Josh got to feeling bad -- stomach upset -- and the next thing I knew, Lee was calling for a thermometer to take Josh's temp.  There is no way to describe what it is like to discover that there is some possibility that Josh picked up some kind of bug.  By the time we waited for a second temp, and Lee and Renee decided they should head home to await another developments.  Words like scary, or angry (at the possibility of infection) or panic or guilt or helplessness or any combination thereof can possibly describe the experience of all of us (Josh, Lee, Renee, Jarrod and me) had this evening.  As I finish this, I'm going to call Lee as I go to bed to just see what the status is tonight (it's coming up 11 pm.)  What a day 100!
