Mundane Week with Happy Ending in Sight!

Hey there.

Today was really busy and I'm beat - even though it's 11:00 and I could have probably gone to bed an hour ago if I hadn't been sucked into Facebook. I went two days without even logging in, then the minute I do, I can't get out.

I worked at my new job today and really enjoyed it. It's very different from a regular classroom in some ways, the same in others. One thing I like is the tutor-student ratio (4:1)...and the fact that they're all pretty self-motivated. I will see it through the end of the year but am not sure I will reapply for the fall; the hours are kind of whacky and from what I hear from other tutors, we need to be super flexible - as in, show up and be ok with it if we get sent home because class was cancelled, that sort of thing.

Before work, I made all the food for my book club dinner tonight and got most of the house cleaned, but when I walked in the door at 3:30 I still had a bunch to do before everyone arrived at 5:00.  I refused to rush, and ended up not getting to the dusting...and thought, so what? No one really cares. Period. Big step for me.  We read The Body Finder this month so Kim was our "Guest Author" and that was really fun.  Most of us know her, but a few didn't, so there were lots of great questions.

Tomorrow I have a Dr's appt for M, a mile-high pile of ironing and some errands to run, then baseball in the evening. Thursday, work, then Friday J and I are going away for the weekend.  M leaves Thursday night for Mississippi for his dad's memorial service there, so we thought it would be a good time to take our gift certificate from two years ago to this spa resort near Mt. Rainier.  JJ's all set to spend the weekend with a b-ball teammate, and J and are looking forward to getting away and regrouping from M's re-entry (not that it has been bad).  I didn't even book a massage, or a sauna - I'm thinking a little sleeping in, some good food and much needed cuddling....

Back home Sunday afternoon, hopefully rejuvenated and ready to go again.  I know you have fun weekend plans too, so I'll be thinking of you!

Love you,
A
