To say that things are hectic now is a bit of an understatement. This is a true fact for everyone I know - especially those who work in or go to school. Yesterday, I covered someone else's math class - which was actually fun - and then had an unexpected lunch with two 7th graders - which was restorative in its own way. To spend the entire day in the company of children meant I came home from school a little more tired than usual - which is again saying something. In spite of my intention to use my free time to care for those who care for me, the pace of work has made it hard to me to see people who matter. Yes, I see can still see and connect regularly with my immediate family - although I am pretty sure I feel asleep during a phone call with my younger son last night. He was too polite to complain. People who are dear to me who don't live with me, however, are getting the short shrift. Like our former custodial assistant with the broken ankle - I've been dying to see her.
