Finally, school is out. Or rather, I have one more round of meetings on Friday, but not many students at that school.
It's been a drama-packed quarter all around...so much turmoil within the ranks, and I'm supposed to be the stable one, lol. I wish my dad could see that people consider ME the stable one.
Then a couple of weeks ago my mom had a stroke -I really will have to talk to her about the timing of that. and I had to travel to Chicago in the last week of school or run the risk of never seeing her again. I've been at my job for 18 years...I have left in the middle of a quarter once before -when Eliot died. I hate leaving school...I mean, my chairperson and dean were both awesome, but still.
Anyhow, I am looking forward to staring into space for a bit. This summer I have to paint the house...I know it's a big job and I should be dreading it. But the idea of standing in the sun on a scaffold with a brush and slowly painting my house? Nothing sounds better than that. I hope to hell I get bored.
I also have a shoot scheduled with Betsy and Alder on July 10th! I can't wait! And I have a whole bunch of drawings that need to be made into wall-pieces! And I have a bunch of fabric and wanna make some dresses. And there will be SUN and HEAT and watermelon! My favorite time of year. I wish it lasted more than 3 months.
