I’m so tired of talking about my boring topics, so I’m going to talk about a brilliant idea I had and put to use once. I vacuumed Mabi with the hose attachment. If she wouldn’t have yelped and squirmed so much in pure terror, it would have done a tremendous job of ridding her loose hair. This dog is only supposed to shed once a year for a bit. Not Mabi – 24/7, 365. It’s a sad, sad thing.
I made yogurt last night. First time since Ethan was a toddler. It was so deliciously mild….I’m excited to start going back to doing things the way I used to them. A terrific thing that happened today was I earned a free cup of small coffee after filling m
y tank after my school site. The coffee sucked, but it was a lovely treat on a Wednesday morning. I finished every drop.
I headed to my second school site. I like this site for several reasons but mostly because these are the kids that scared me at one point, then… I joined them. Sorta. The thing is – these kids have shit going on and unlike others, they don’t know/have/use the tools the rest of us have picked up and learned along the way and haven’t had the lives we have had. It’s a last chance and I feel I spent a lot of my later adolescent years in somewhat of a “last chance.”
I have about 2020 hours. I’ve maxed out on a lot of categories and have mostly face-to-face (unlimited hours) remaining, but I still hope to finish the 3,000 hours and be testing in the next year. Then? I dunno…back to school to switch careers again? That’s how I seem to do things in my life….
After a full day, then coming home to cook dinner, I got to sit down with Ethan and semi-discuss “Anima
l Farm” with him so he could get a jump on a paper. I LOVE discussing books, especially topics like those in “Animal Farm.” I pulled my copy of Bertram Wolfe’s “3 Who Made a Revolution” on Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin. I never did finish that book. It is so complex that someone like me reading it without a guide/mentor is near-impossible, yet it’s a topic and time period I enjoy. Today my “babies” got their braces tightened and tonight both are hurting. I remember those days….
