School: Failure to Reboot
The weather hasn't really been cooperating with the re-opening of school. On Monday, our first day back since we let out on the 23rd, we had a delay. Today, the sky is pooing slipperiness, and so, nada. Yesterday, we were talking about having today off like it was a foregone conclusion (as it often is right before a snow day), and I commented to my co-teacher, "But I don't need any snow days yet - it's too early in the term for me to be stressed." On the other side of things, when we have the make up days in June, it'll still be light out when I get home from work. Not so much this time of year. This year and last year the early dark has hit me like a herd of angry pachyderms - far more than ever before.
On the other side of things, I have so many lovely books to read, I don't even know where to start. Currently, I'm juggling a collection of Philip K. Dick stories, The Sacred Book of the Werewolf and The White Tiger, and I wish I could balance more without confusing myself.
Also, knitting (the saga of the $1.50 Sweater mark 2 continues, also, crazy psychedelic socks) and spinning (from some of the fibery goodness gifted during the giftin' season) and baking (banana bread and multigrain bread), oh my! Hmm, after that list, I may have to go do something manly.
Also, received the board game Settlers of Catan as a birthday present and looking for folks to play with me. I've never played, but it looks really interesting.
Haha, snow and tea and books.
