Possibly all you get today

It’s going to be a busy day– I’ve been invited to my first high school graduation, as some of my kids who were in my sixth grade classes when I started at my current district have insisted that I attend their high school graduations today.  Which makes me feel insanely old.  I have former kids who are older than that, of course– I started teaching in 2000-01, after all, so my first former students graduated high school ten years ago– but none of those kids sent me graduation invitations.  That’s at 2:00, and I ought to leave 45 minutes or so early if I want to get there and be able to get a half-decent seat, and I work at OtherJob at 5.  It’s gorgeous outside, so it’ll be at least 11:30 before I get out of there, and we’re probably going to be busy as hell tonight.  In between now and then I’d maybe like to hang out with my son a bit.

So, yeah.  That’s Saturday.  Then (hopefully) relax all day tomorrow and then power through the last three days of school.

Oh, and I started the new novel last night.  Here’s the first sentence:

The halfogre couldn’t shake the idea that he’d made some poor decisions.

Enjoy your Saturday, y’all.  I may be able to post a picture or two but it seems highly unlikely that any additional blogging will be happening.
