Eight Days and Counting

Happy Monday, Barb.

Sounds like a low-key weekend. Good way to start the school year, probably. I enjoyed the same level of activity, more or less - a little shopping in a way-t00-crowded mall (so we went out to dinner instead), a relaxing couple of hours in the Executive Lounge with K&R&TN, flipping between sports channels so as to catch the Seahawks, the Mariners and Indy Cars, all in one evening. TN roasted a leg of lamb (it was Saturday night...I will starve if he moves out and gets a place of his own). I am not a huge lamb fan, by any stretch, but I'll always try it. I think I had really bad experiences with it as a child or something. At any rate, it was phenomenal and I ate it all and then had it cold for leftovers the next morning too. I'm onto something new, evidently!

Sunday, we spent in the garden, after JJ and I spent an hour and a half at the gym. He kicked my butt on the bike - ow, is all I have to say. I know I should go do some cardio this morning but we also did some weights yesterday and I am quite sore. We'll see how the day goes. I have sub "orientation" this afternoon (as if I can't remember all that s**t from last year and the 12 years prior to that). It's required to fill out paperwork. Whatever.

Nothing going on this week other than that. I'm anxious for school to start and to be able to work a little; I'm really stressing about money right now. I can sympathize with W on what's available out there - as in, nothing. If only I were a nurse. Or a truck driver. I'm getting sick of looking for a job already and I've hardly started my search, compared to some. If not a huge money maker, at least a sub job here or there will make me feel somewhat productive.

I hope this first week with students goes well for you. Love you! - A
