To call me a glorified babysitter today would be a total misuse of the word "glorified." *sigh

I chose this school after realizing how close it was to where I live, but it's poorly marked on a side road which made it difficult to find. I'm glad I left so early.

Still, it's money coming in.

Mom had a couple of absence episodes yesterday, but refused to let me take her to the emergency room. After I got home from the school, I got a call from Sis. She had another incident today, and Sis managed to get her agree to go the emergency room. I'm taking care of the dogs. Sis will keep me apprised.

ETA: Mom has shingles. She also has a major UTI and a possible kidney infection for which they're giving her IV antibiotics. No one can figure out her wildly fluctuating blood pressure. On the plus side, her CAT scan doesn't show a new stroke. She's in the hospital at least overnight while they run more tests.

I have my first assignment as a substitute teacher tomorrow. High school history, but this being Georgia, who knows how either sanitized or revisionist it will get. I also have no idea what type of history I'm supposed to cover. It could be Ancient, Modern European, American, or that wonderful catchall "world history"! African or Asian is possible, but unlikely.

There was a bit of disappointment. I could have had a week teaching cookery at the local career college, but Mom has doctors' appointments on Tuesday and Thursday and I couldn't just pick up the other four days. *sigh

Wish me luck.
