terrypurple73For a day that hasn’t really felt that busy, a lot of things have happened. Nothing hugely notable, but enough. It was my last day at Childrens World for my break today, and the day went well. My favorite four-year-old quotes of the day were Billy saying, “They’re Magic Markers. They get all over our hands from magic!” and Joe describing his mom’s new car, “with a windshield on the top!” I refused to think about it being my last day, because it could just be my last day forever. But I decided not to think about it then, and I’m still not going to. I didn’t say anything about it even being my last day for a few months to the kids, because I think it would just confuse them. I think they’ve gotten used to me coming in and out of their lives, and since I don’t know when I’ll see them next (to visit at Easter, I’m sure), I didn’t want to bring it up. Besides, I’ve been there so sporadically over even this break that it will probably take them a while to realize that I haven’t been around, if they do at all. I gave Leslie a hug goodbye as I left, and she asked if I’d be back this summer. I told her I wasn’t sure (even though I know I won’t be. I just can’t (and don’t need to) break it to her yet.), and she said, “I’m not letting go until you say yes!” Made me smile, but also sad. No, no, no, we’re not thinking about this now. Moving on. Then I came home, and finished and posted my paper to Mr. Ault. Thank god. I hope it’s enough of what he is looking for, at least enough to pass. Because I don’t care about anything other than that at this point. Pass pass pass.
Bana came over after dinner, and we completed the first part of our “APO Swim Team” t-shirts. Hee hee hee. They are adorable. I think they are ingenious. Now we just need to find new pledges to initiate! ::devious laugh::
Both Pat and Rob called me tonight, and I wasn’t expecting to hear from either of them. Actually, the conversation with Rob was more awkward than the one with Pat was. Things with Pat went fine, a little awkward, but all right. We didn’t talk about anything connected to recent events between us, which seemed strange to me (I would have thought he’d bring stuff up), but I wasn’t about to complain or really initiate anything related to it. So we just chatted, told some stories and news, and that was the gist of it. At one point, I asked, “How’re you doing?” in a little bit of a different, a little more serious, tone, which in my head meant, “You can bring stuff up if you’d like to, if you wanted to talk about it in a way that doesn’t involve email.” He didn’t take that cue, though, which was all right. Talking to Rob was a little weird. I don’t really know what I have to say to him right now. What do we have in common? What in my life does he know enough about to care about, is really the question. Epi and I might go see him tomorrow night, we’ll see. I just ddin’t really know what to talk about. And I don’t really have much time to see him, even though I would like to, and I told him that. Sooo....
Tomorrow afternoon, Epi and I are going to a rally/protest/gathering over in the Uptown area for people who are against going to war with Iraq. I’m guessing it will be similar to the ones we do at 72nd and Dodge. So I’m excited. I haven’t been to the 72nd and Dodge gatherings since right before the SOA trip, actually, so it’s been a while since I’ve done any rallying. Even if it will be negative a hundred and forty-seven degrees, I think we’ll have a grand time.
No deep introspections for this evening. Hope you’re not too disappointed. ;)
