The 16yo’s birthday was a good day. The weather was beautiful, the friends showed up, the Taco Bell was enjoyed, and everyone had a good time. It was probably the easiest, and cheapest, birthday party we’ve ever thrown.
SFUSD is still making up strike days this week, but we stopped making our kids go because of poor attendance and sparse planning. Today is their official last day, but I guess that doesn’t matter much anymore.
Today is the 8th grade promotion ceremony at my school. Of course, after weeks of decent weather, it will be 83* as we sit outside in the blazing sun for 60ish minutes this afternoon. I just want it to be over.
Yearbook distribution has been fairly stressful, mostly because we don’t have a librarian so I have been acting as one, managing the book returns and processing payments for lost books. It’s a lot. I’m relieved that tomorrow is the last day of school.
Because it is! Tomorrow is my last day with students. I can’t really believe it. Every fall it feels like the end of the school year will never come and it always does. Time keeps moving forward, with impressive regularity.
I’m really struggling to get anything done this week, especially at work. I have plenty to do! So much! And yet… I’m doing a whole hell of a lot. It’s not great and it will absolutely come back to bite me in the ass next week. Honestly the major problem is how distracted I am. Like I set up my big screen to do a final check on the summer fun photo book before I order it and then I just came back to this tab and kept writing. It’s that kind of moment, x1000, right now.
… 18 hours later.
Promotion is over. It was really hot, and I felt kind of sick afterward, but it’s done.
The husband and I saw Belle & Sebastian last night. I was so tired and so worn out and didn’t want to go, but it was really fun. I was (am!) a huge fan and it was really great to see them live again, some 20+ years since the last time. We’re seeing them again tonight, and I really hope I can rally for it, because right now I’m feeling pretty done.
The high today is supposed to be 90*. I think I’m getting pink eye again. And my Endo (who I just saw!) is leaving and I’m getting some other random doctor I don’t know. I’m feeling a little bummed right now.
But! In less than 4 hours I will be saying good-bye to my last class of the day. There is a light at the end of the tunnel! I’m soooo close. At least we don’t have to sit out in the sun this afternoon!
ugh i’m so sorry your endo is leaving!!! i know you liked her!
i went to that same B&S concert – they were so good! (did you go to the sinister or tigermilk? we were at the sinister one which is good bc it’s by far a fave of the 2)
We saw Tigermilk last night and are seeing Sinister tonight. It was a great show. I thought of you and was wondering which night you went to!
And yeah, I’m super bummed about my Endo leaving. I really liked her. Boo.
