Oklahoma

What have I done this week?

I had a come-to-college meeting with my students. I tried to make them understand that I am on their side. I also taught. And, I used a snippet from Eddie Izzard as an example of gross motor skills. Win for me.

I sat in on a class that I am most likely going to be teaching in the Fall. I made a friend, kindof, who happens to have previously been employed with MY previous employer... and said kindof-friend left for similar reasons as myself.

I voluntarily went on a road trip with my mom, grandma, and cousin to Ooooklahoma. Yes, approximately 6 hours in a vehicle with three of the most interestingly connected people I know. So, that's fun... If yesterday had a color code, it would have been orange. Today was yellow. Hopefully tomorrow will be green... My fingers are crossed for smooth sailing in the 6+ hour drive back to the homestead.

I am coming to realize that my "sh*ts given" filter goes on and off at the most interesting times. I am also wishing more and more that I could actually let the words bouncing around in my head fall out of my mouth. Bright side, I know how I want to live my life. Unfortunately, telling my family they frustrate the hell out of me isn't an option. At least not while I am several hundred miles away from the safety of my own home.

But as far as doing things for myself this week, I tried to communicate with my students, and I tried to communicate with mah bo'friend.

I also think I will be completing the Love Dare during the rest of the Lenten period, and on through Easter. I am doing this for myself and for my sunshine.
