Okay so my mid semester break story will begin tomorrow. Today I am too tired.
It was the anniversary of my mother's death, which was especially hard since I am so homesick. However, a HUGE shout out to Aunt Catherine who talked to me for forty minutes on the phone until I forgot to be sad anymore. Actually I didn't forget, I just wasn't anymore.
Today I spent the day relaxing and reading. I finished the third Dexter book, and moved on to the book, Hunger Games. It should be an interesting read.
My good friend Tessa brought me home a delicious chocolaty brownie type thing from the cafe to cheer me up, and my friend Stephen gave me an early birthday present of a ticket to my favorite musical, The Last Five Years, so that was how I spent my evening.
I will check back in tomorrow after teaching my students that boats float because air is lighter than water, and if we fill a clay boat with wooden blocks, it will sink. I look forward to getting soaked at the water table!
Kate, you have been in my thoughts today as well as your dad and Michael. I am glad to see that the call to your Aunt Catherine helped ease the sadness. Unfortunately, May 19th will always represent the loss you experienced, but what I hope for you is that...in time that sadness will diminish and the day will become a reminder of all the wonderful memories you have of your mom. Take care...Diane
