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.
