I'm awake early today so that I can do my laundry AND go to the gym before I have to shower and be at school at noon. I was awake before the sun was awake. I'm still not moving fast enough, because I'm sitting here typing, but I need morning time to wake up.
Jodi called me last night just as I was finishing dinner and asked if I wanted to go out to dinner with she and Brian. I haven't seen them in SOOOO long so I said yes. I'd never eaten at a 99 before, because my mom is obsessed with them. For whatever reason, I usually revolt against whatever she loves. Anyway. I always forget how amazing it is just to pick up a conversation with somebody so close to your heart. It's like she never moved 40 miles away. It so funny too because our professional lives, while we teach different grades but same content, have so many parallels. AND politically we are on the same page so, it's hillarious to have her start talking about something she heard on NPR earlier in the day. I was listening to the same interview too! Something is comforting in the fact that so far away, we are thinking and acting together.
Speaking of so far away... last night was night #6 without Jim. At least from here on out I'll be kept busy - work, work, tomorrow I'm going to be with the Leahy's. Then Sunday he comes home! It's been a long week though.
