Underdog

I had all my documentation and a letter to the corporate office regarding Umbridge's behavior sent by the day after my termination. Thursday morning I was in the Human Resources office of the hospital with a copy of the letter, citing specific examples of Umbridge's breaches in the company's code of conduct as it pertains to their managers.

I am just petty enough to be glutting myself with the satisfaction that today this woman is probably wishing with all her heart that she had never laid eyes on me.

On another note, because I refuse to let this run my thoughts and world view, autumn finally arrived in Alabama yesterday. The sky was that clear blue that can only be seen in October, the wind was blowing and the high was the mid 60s. The night time low is 40 degrees and I am so excited! Just 8 more degrees and it will frost, kill all the weeds in my herb garden and all the mosquitoes that plague my evenings on the back deck. We can cut the grass one last time and open windows during the day. I have Pumpkin Crunch Cake, Autumn Dream, Amish Harvest and Candy Corn candles burning to scent the air and send out their pretty glow. Lina and Huck are sleeping in their foot jammies and Chris has taken to wearing a long sleeve shirt unbuttoned over his tshirt and flannel pants around the house. He holds his coffee close to his face and cups it with both hands.The wheel of the year is turning.
