I get the feeling that vacation winding down doesn't hit the same way when you're retired. I saw an early ad for the Minnesota State Fair, and I felt a twinge of sadness because, while fun, its Labor Day Weekend. Then I remembered that Labor Day is NOT the summons to return to school anymore. In fact, I won't be at the State Fair either, because I will be in Scotland that day. :)
Last year I had to pack up my classroom because I was getting new carpet. I complained some, but it turned out to be a blessing, because I tossed a bunch of stuff. Packing up this week has been so easy. My desk, shelves, file cabinets are completely done. All that's left is to take down my bulletin boards and move a few things like my dorm fridge and microwave to it's new owner.
The weather is very nice today, sun and 80s. I wonder if it reached Wisconsin and is Paula kayaking?
We bought tickets for Boston, so we can assist my Aunt after her surgery. We will be in Amherst from the 23rd - 29th, and spend the night of the 29th with DD, then fly home on the 30th.
Speaking of DD, she is continuing to see the nice young man from work. As always when my kids are dating someone new, I hope they are having fun. It sounds like it.
I am overwhelmed by the kindness students are showing me as school is winding down. Kids I had in class two or three years ago are stopping by to say goodbye. What a privilege to have been a part of their lives. This is the deeply satisfying part of teaching: knowing that while you may have changed them, they have definitely changed you. And made you laugh, oh my goodness, the laughs. I am ready to retire, but I leave with so much gratitude for the opportunity to know these young people.

Yes, Florida is back on the table at the moment!

Same old, same old day yesterday except for the order of things as it rained in the morning when we tried to take our walk. Dinner at the Mexican place was just as good as previously.
Today we may go off campus after our morning activities. The plan is to go snorkeling, then lunch out at a beach shack place. Dinner tonight at a pier on the water near the airport. All remaining days are pretty much accounted for as far as dinners other than possibly Thursday. I used to hate when we had fewer days remaining than we have been here and we were winding down toward home and work. Now that isn't the case as I am looking forward to getting home and seeing Justice. And MAYBE the weather up there will finally get nice.
Speaking of weather, the forecast here shows rain in the morning Wednesday through Friday. That is almost unheard of here! It may change though.
Have a titanium Tuesday!

Sorry your weather is so yucky! Every weekend in Massachusetts has been terrible for the last 3 months. Maybe once Mother Nature gets it out of her system we will all have a beautiful summer.
Selling? Have you decided on Florida after all?

You are so right. Once I got to work and started my to do list I felt better.

Despite knowing it's always the way, worries always feel so much worse and insurmountable in the dark of night. A new day shines the light on things that don't seem nearly as scary.
Yep Just Crack an Egg. They taste good but are kind of not eco friendly. But sometimes it hits the spot and you can put two eggs in if you like. ds
