Well, I'm home, school is officially finished, except for the workshops I’m participating in this coming Wednesday and another to finish the scheduling on the 29th.

The summer looms large and I suddenly am regretting that I'm not working this summer! It's not the money as much as it is the thoughts of not having anything structured to occupy my time. (Other than correcting the MCAS July 10-14.)

So now I'm free. I feel as if I should be lesson planning! This is a WEIRD FEELING!

It helped that I stayed until about four thirty yesterday and then even took home paperwork that I needed to finish and worked until ten thirty last night to get that done. I got there at seven thirty this morning (even though no one else got there until about eight thirty) and worked at putting away files and cleaning the desk drawers, etc. I had finished all that by 10:30 and wanted to leave, but we had to wait for the checks which came at about 12:30. I was home at 1:00. I have to say I wasn't all that worked up at saying good-bye to anyone.

What I should do now is try to figure out my bills and then start figuring out what I want to get done around here. I still haven't written my thank-you notes for my father either. I hate writing thank-you notes.

I really do want to tackle that second room I glibly call and office/craft room.

What it is in actuality is a trash pile! It's going to take forever to get it together what I'll probably have to do is empty it of everything and start from scratch. Isn't that a joyful thought?!? I think I need to rearrange the furniture somehow but I don't know what to do to make it more efficient. I realize that one idea would be to throw things away, but.....

I'm still bummed about Michael, I haven't written to him since Tuesday. He hasn't written either, although he did send me a joke yesterday, so I guess I'm not totally forgotten.
