Schools are stirring to life...what the new year might bring. Haven't gone to work on my classroom yet. Although unpaid time, I'd willingly go in during the summer to get ahead--much of what teachers do is unpaid anyway. Not whining, just saying.
I'll probably go in tomorrow and get a little done, then finish on the two work days.
It's not that I'm not interest; each new year, in spite of the challenges, is exciting. Crazy, at the beginning and end--ok, crazy all year. But often fun, always important.
It's just that as I near the age I could retire (I started really late) I'm more aware that I have things--important things--I've neglected too long.
Don't read as much as I used to, or want to; really don't write enough.
So I started moving those items to the front the last few weeks, and now, since that's all new again, too--I don't want to give it up to go move furniture.
For all things a time, though.
Sigh.
Nap time!
