the anniversary
We are celebrating the anniversary of the opening of the Boys Middle School.
Whoopdee-damn-do.
I have no obligations, no schedule. I checked, and double-checked, (and got it in writing) that I actually do not have to be physically present at the school today. Remarkable, only because it is an exception to the other “off” days when my presence was required, even when no one else was there ~ nobody else. Usually it’s just me ~ oh, and the building maintenance guy.
Anyway, today is a day dedicated to me doin’ a whole lotta nothin’ ~ catching up on sleep, laundry, grocery shopping, banking, reading books and magazines … It is nice to have a day in the middle of the week when I don’t feel like I need to take advantage of every spare minute (like I do on the weekend excursions to the city).
May has been a crazy month ~ holidays, testing periods, field trips. We’ve been forewarned that June is going to be a challenge, with no holidays or days off, and that we had better take advantage of the time we have now.
So, I did. I shut off the phone, avoided the internet, and took advantage of a day off.
I feel much better now …

You are such a good writer! Everything you write about makes me laugh (hopefully not at your expense!). It sounds like you are learning a lot about the culture, food and people. You’ll have so much to tell us when you get back. Take care! Joan
