Okay, this is real now

I’ve started telling people I’m leaving— just a couple, so far, who have direct need-to-know reasons. I haven’t decided how long I’m going to wait to tell everyone who doesn’t need to know.

I think the plan right now is that the 19th will be my last day in the building. That’s the day before fall break, and it’s a Teacher Record day. I have sick days and personal days left, so I’ll start burning those the next week, and take that week off from both buildings. I’ll start at the new place on … Halloween, which seems to fit how this year has gone so far.

Here we go.
