FRIDAY!! The 20th of October

It's Friday!!  Of course I am working tomorrow and possibly Sunday but I can sleep an extra hour tomorrow, so it is good.  Sunday I am participating in a walk to end breast cancer--if only walking were enough--and tomorrow night I hope to go to a medieval dance at a friend's place.  In between jobs today I went to a meeting of the local SCA group.  Always nice to see people and share hugs and listen to what is going on.  Okay, maybe not the meeting part as much as the hugs.  I couldn't stay long because of the job and needing to get back for the cats. 

School went well, I think.  Next week I start doing a reading fluency thing with a couple of the students.  I told them about it today to prepare them for it.  I'm not sure I broke the news the right way to them.  Just the act of being called out to the hall to speak with an adult is enough to scare most students. 

The closer we get to winter the more I want to have time to be outside.  Last weekend I went over my budget a little and decided I can't afford to quit the second job.  If I can make the time this weekend I am going to do so again with a slightly different perspective.  I didn't factor in how much less my expenses might be without all the driving from my retail job.  Or how much healthier I will be if I have more time to walk and exercise. 

When I arrived back to the house this evening I remembered to look up and see the stars.  There aren't as many in the city as there are here where I house/cat sit.  The stars and getting big hugs from Gideon are my happy things for today.

Sky and trees.
