School out

Students are done for the semester, evals done, grade posted.  Spent yesterday afternoon just relaxing.  Today went on a field trip with my grandson.  Of course it was raining and cold but he was thrilled. 

I have decided I will take some time for me, pick up a few extra hours at work but actually give myself a break this summer. Writing when I feel like it instead of trying to sneak it in.

And even told my school I will only teach 3 days a week instead of 5 days next semester and with my two 12 hour shifts a week at the hospital only 4-12 hour days and 1-8 hour day.

Good for you! You've been working hard and you deserve a little time for yourself. I'm glad you are easing up a bit on the schedule as well. Life is too precious to work it away. *grin* that's what the computer is for!

Hard to admit one is getting older

My theory is that there has never been anyone who, on their deathbed, wished they had worked harder. We put so much emphasis on work and being responsible and successful that it's easy to forget the healing benefits of play. Enjoy your extra time off - you deserve it.

Thanks and will, but will also pick up some so I can pay the bills.

Your idea of 'only' would strike most people as quite enough.

I hope you do enjoy your summer as much as deserve, and your family enjoys it with you.

Thanks, I will and this 'only' for me is a admission I need to slow down.
