The day was here – first day at my new campus. Not such a big deal, I guess…I’ve done this in so many different ways – as a student, substitute, teacher, therapist…yet this time it was in place of someone who is so good at what she does and she has been there so long. It’s tough when you are filling some big shoes. As I left the house, went through my drill – “what am I for
getting?” and left. It wasn’t until I had dropped Ethan off at his high school (which still freaks me out) and was a few exits up the freeway that I realized I had left my laptop and my phone charger. Of course I did. Turned around and headed home.
Smooth beginnings at work – I had some prep time and then the first appointment cancelled, so I grabbed the second appointment so we could establish a good session time. I like being in schools. It didn’t work out with teaching (though Montessori with little ones is always an option for the future). It is –or at least it should be – a safe place for kids and I enjoy being a part of their lives.
It – meaning the day went well…for the most part (confidentiality, you understand). By the time I left, the office staff was long gone and the vice-principal was preparing to do the same. I arrived home…
..and found my long awaited poster – a signed (Justin Helton) and numbered “China Cat Sunflower” poster. The frame has been awaiting her treasure for weeks and so, I put it in and hung her – taking down the painting I inherited from my dad. I replied with a thank you letter to DHL (they did their part, it was the USPS that took 12 days to get the poster 45 miles).
As the evening wound down, I chatted with Brent – my bff in high school and set an appointment for starting up guitar lessons again. Two days of training, so my “therapy” days are over for the week, but today was enough of a day to make up for the next two.
Pictures: the day began like this and ended like this.
