In SF we call it Indigenous Peoples Day. In most of the country it’s Columbus Day. When my school district started taking it off last year it was simply marked as Local Holiday. I guess they didn’t want to bother with the politics of it. No matter what it’s called, I’m very happy to have it off.
Saturday I assisted in my son’s martial arts belt test, then went to my own martial arts class then joined the dojo community for forms on the beach.
Yesterday I met my mom at the area Amusement Park with my daughter and her friend and my son and his friend (my husband was supposed to come but he’s on day five of a man cold). I spent the day with the boys and my mom went with the girls and everybody had a lot of fun. The amusement park really goes all out for Halloween so it felt different than all the times we went this summer.
Next weekend is my son’s birthday party and the weekend after my husband is out of town and I have an all day professional development. Today we have nothing planned and I am very much looking forward to lounging around all day. I even did most of my grading on Friday night. All I have to get done is some cleaning and some laundry.
I am very much looking forward to today.
Are you off today? Or is it a regular Monday?
Just a regular Monday here. Kids are in school (after a 5-day break that coincided with Yom Kippur last week), both my husband and I are at work. Status quo.
The federal government closes but schools are in session. The state mandates when we start and finish school so they have had to send kids to school now without many “breaks” from Labor Day to June 15th. When I worked for the Army I loved having it off, now I work for a private corporation no rest for the weary! Hope you enjoyed your day off!
