Been a tremendously busy week. I was out T-Th from school to support the family, play at U of M Distinguished Dissertation Awards, and just be. I realized of the last 7 days, I had driven to Dearborn 6 of those. Friday was a hectic clean up day at school. Catching up on all that I had missed kid-wise. I'll be catching up with kids for a while. Many forgot why they come to school and just enjoyed being in a class with "no direction" more or less. The sub who was hired was very relaxed. He took attendance kinda--many of the kids he marked present were absent, and a few he marked as out (skipping) were in their seats.
This weekend was catch up as well-I am preparing my Tuesday lecture (Modern Music Part 2) finishing grading make up exams (discovered 3 students were no show at the make up, so gave them a 0), did house things that get put aside when you are on the run, had an oil and fuel filter change, and have yet to do some major computer shifting to do as the district announced they are giving us new computers as of Friday. Ah, life! Monday night I am attending the Pioneer Band Honors Banquet (cafeteria, parents bring foods, kids have fun), while juggling prepping my lecture. I may slide out early. Though the kids will be glad to see me, Nancy will be angry. I am on faculty and I am invited. (Headed to my Dad's today). Life is full.
I texted (my cousin says "Tex Mex") with my lil sis until 1 this am when they landed back in Sacramento and started home.
I'm tired.
Jan and Marshall's brown cat keeps coming to eat here. He prefers our 9 lives to the Meijer brand (I gave them because Muffin wouldn't eat it). He runs in here at breakfast, all out of breath and "starving" and does the same in the evening. Brown cat (that's his name) is very soft and sweet. Sometimes he walks around the house to see if I've moved any furniture, then mews at the door to go home.
Life has taken a different direction, but my feet are still in the old world--so it's off to prepare for lecture ;-)
Later gator
