kayrePosting about Whisper helped (and all your kind comments have helped tremendously). Her situation is probably going to take months to play out (the next big hurdle is her next trimming, early in April); I’ll try to do weekly updates. Finding out that the vet bill is considerably less than I thought also helped; there was a BIG error on one invoice.
Piano kiddies also helped. My newest, youngest pupil is absolutely flying through his primer; he instantly grasped the connection between the letter name of a note, its “picture” on the music staff, and the actual note on the keyboard, a concept my other students have struggled with for months. The two girls were both brilliant and fun. My oldest student, unfortunately, hadn’t practiced, and had had a fight with his father on the way to lessons, so he sulked throughout. To top it all off, I may have another student within a week or two, a young girl whom I thoroughly enjoyed working with in my previous childrens’ choir.
Edit: just found out that hubby's annual bonus is quite a lot more than we were expecting. The vet bills don't look nearly so frightening any more. Whew!
