Down Time

Hey, A,

First day of midterms is done. (Two 2 hr. exams per day; teachers are free from 11:45 on) I only gave one exam this morning, and did so in fleece sweats. I love that part of midterms. For whatever reason, I can be much more productive when I have on sweats and sneaks.

Last night, getting ready for guests was not nearly what I made the task out to be in my head--as usual. After school I have to swing by the store for chips and salsa, soda, and flowers (I haven't had any since my roses from W!); my friends (T&C, a married couple--he teaches Spanish, she Business; and K) will be over at 6. That gives me plenty of time to get the chili on the stove and the garbage out, and to do any last minute straightening. I'm sure it won't be a late night, since we have school tomorrow, which is fine with me. I have been wanting to have T&C over since I moved to the town in which they live and just haven't gotten around to asking them. Finally I created an occasion. K was coming over for chili anyway, and she knows them quite well, so I figured I'd have them all over at once.

Then tomorrow it's already the weekend. What a nice, short week! No W again this weekend (he's been really depressed this week) so I have the weekend to myself without commitments. I'm looking forward to it.

Wanted to say hello while I had a little time. Hope you're having a good day.

Love,
B
