long and fast

This is the week that never ends. It keeps going on and on my friends. By Wednesday 7pm while I was still in my classroom, I felt like I'd accomplished enough already for it to be Friday night. But, no.

I'm exhausted and still have so much to do. My sister's graduation party is on Saturday. I have Symphony tickets for Friday night and promised my friend we'd go out to eat before the concert. Tuesday I had small group then went to my school's choral concert (I'm skipping the band concert tonight-- I couldn't stomach the squawking and honking this late into the week). And, I have my half marathon training to scrunch between the bedlam of work and my "social" life. I need to buy a plane ticket to Vancouver really soon, but the lack of internet service is making that difficult. Maybe I'll join AAA because my car with 254k miles and they could find me a flight. Do you get good deals through them?

Apparently my uncle reported about my party to my sister, "It's like B said. The people who were at J's party really love J." I think the kayaking, cookout and monsoon weren't necessarily his party format of choice. He also said, "It was cold and wet." And, it was... at the very end.

All this whining is to say, I think this level of business is helping to prioritize and not lose sleep over any one thing. Although I did wake up at 2:30 am last night petrified that none of my kids are going to pass the state test. We shall see.

This is such an interesting period of life utterly different from last year this time. Now I need to go home and mix cow manure and lyme into my soil and plant my 6 grape tomato plants and cross train. My second annual patio garden will provide some continuity. Only four more weeks. And miles and miles before we sleep. Yowsers.
