today

today i am happy. it is a half day, and half of that day, I have planning----we only have 2 blocks today.

today, I woke up too late to take the dog on a good long walk. But i had a great dream. I was hanging out with Melissa and Renu and just having a good time. I felt bad for osk, then i remembered, i have a half day-- sort of. We have to come back for training after lunch. But I have an hour for lunch and that means i can go home and walk the dog. I only like 10 mins away....i wish i had an hor for lunch every day. i would go home, eat, walk the dog and do a 20 min work out. it would be grand. maybe for my next career jump, I will look for something that allows that.

it is amazing that _most_ people get an hour for lunch. well, i mean--most jobs in america---well, not most--but most of the people i know that are not teachers get a real lunch break. but i cannot complain-- i get 2 months off for the summer.

speaking of, i need to make good summer plans. i have a million projects for my house, a million plans to travel, great ideas for my classroom that I want to prepare/ research, a novel i am going to write, a zillion novels i am going to read, a few weddings to attend, a few artsy projects i am working on, some cooking/ canning projects I want to tackle, a class i want to take in ABA, and a few huge projects i want to set up for the volunteer club I have started. so it looks like my summer is booked! i am really excited about life and getting all of this to come together.

i am making a good dent in my bookshelf. I have been reading a lot.

oskar ate my diabetes kit box yesterday. fortunately, only the paperwork was in the box and only the box itself was destroyed. how did he become such a bad dog? at least i feel a bit better about being a bad owner sometimes. i felt more guilty when he was a perfect dog when i woke up late and couldn't walk him before work.

speaking of work. time to do it. xoxoxox
