I went to Macri's bakery this morning as I have done for years--maybe ten or more--on the day before we have classes. I bought five of their wonderful muffins to share while we went through policies and procedures as a staff. As I walked from the car to the store, I wondered if this would be the last time I did this--and then I wondered how many times I would be thinking that this year. It made me feel a little sad. Jim said what if I had thought I would be doing that routine for the next 15 years. I guess that would make me feel even worse!
It was a good meeting and everything is mostly ready for tomorrow. Tonight I had the usual phone calls: The first: "I have a referral to Christ Child Society tomorrow--is it OK if I come in late?" The second: "My mother didn't make it to do her laundry today at my house. Is it OK if I start on Thursday instead?" I gave permission to the first student and said no to the second one.
A Facebook friend said she would like to read this blog. I am not ready to post on FB, but I was flattered and will email it to her. Another friend wrote that she was wondering when I would think about retiring. And somehow I didn't find that affirming at all!
Good beginning! I think it must be very exciting and a little nerve-wracking to think of such a major life change. Is Jim contemplating the same possibilities? Or are you thinking about traveling more with him?
