Sunday, May 23

6:56 a.m. - The weather continues to be frustrating.  I worked my tail off yesterday to mow the yard.  I worked hard on Friday after school - in the rain - to get the pool ready.  And still...the skies feature clouds and occasional rain.  I think I'm going to attend church service this morning and then go to Lowe's and make some purchases.  Then the main project to accomplish is to plant the flower bed.  I'd like to ride my bike again, and maybe get some swimming exercise in too.  Something I did last night was watch the Cubs vs. Cards game.  I haven't sat and watched baseball for a long time.

This week is the last full week of school.  I've got four softball dates, and then I have Friday off from school to get the yard read to depart for a little Memorial Day get-a-way.  I'm also going to be gone Tuesday, since I'm helping with the Harrison girls for Karrigan's graduation ceremony.  So while this is officially the last full week, my last full week was last week.  Even just typing in the words LAST FULL WEEK is a relief.  May this be the end of teaching in a pandemic.
