Time is neither friend nor enemy

Fin! The school year is over and I am officially "on vacation"! To my extreme disappointment ::dripping with sarcasm:: I no longer wake up first. In fact, even after Melvin has left I still make the sacrifice to not get up. It's part of my newly acquired effort to "be green". You see, what would I do with that extra hour or two if I were up? Surely I would just be using unnecessary electricity to listen to music or watch TV and that would be wasteful. Thus, staying in bed is my contribution to our planet.

I am gorging myself on books. I've missed reading. Yes, I was a Language Arts/English teacher for the past year, but I was too busy planning, grading, and/or reading novels meant for middle schoolers. (Not to imply that it was unworthy reading material, but my brain yearned for more). So I'm playing catch up!

Aside from seeing a few kids for speech daily, I am trying to organize and "decorate" the other upstairs bedrooms and the landing/office area. I say "decorate" because I'm not so good at it. Either I didn't get that gene, or it hasn't yet been sufficiently stimulated or come to fruition so to speak. I'm hoping the light comes on sooner or later.

Peace and blessings!
