4/3

On we fight. I keep telling Eugene's Brother that it wouldn't be such a very bad thing for a flood to wash over the earth right about now, even though I know I wouldn't make it onto the Ark.

Bella and bambini are officially moving to Waimea this fall. She got a new job, they've got a new school, I will miss them, or maybe I'm just feeling awful about a lot of things right now. Today was kind of nice, though, because I got to talk to both Bella and Katie -- got their wonderfully reasonable, level-headed advice about waiting for written assessment of this past term. The euphoria of done-ness only lasted a few hours. Then it was back to worrying about quality, competition, blah blah, ex post facto blahdeblah.

Yeah. Yeah. Let it go.

Brother Mart is trying to talk me into seeign a school production of Peer Gynt. I think the French Club does refreshments for these things. Sure, Mart, I'll go. Just buy me a croissant.

I think I'm getting sick. I went for a swim today and then got trampld by four kids and I can guarantee that tomorrow I won't feel like getting out of bed and going to school for an evacuation drill. Am I supposed to bring in two bottles of water and a can of vienna sausage, or is that just the kids? I know I'm supposed to bring the detergent bucket/toilet, though. Lovely. What's the point of a lockdown if we're all going to to die of toxic waste exposure anyway?

Just damn it all. My throat and lymph nodes are throbbing.

Good good what happened today that was good? PE was good. The "property of" label mysteriously vanished from the soccer ball cage so I took about half a dozen and had two great PE pds. I kick to them one-on-one, then they pair up and I kick it as deep into the field as I can and they team-dribble it back in, and then they race for it and dribble it back in. Besides all the running they do, it's a lot of legwork for me, but so far this is the best thing we've done in PE so far. for some reason they really get into the teaming up. Maybe I should have started wiht this and then progressed to relays so they'd have a more concrete idea of teamwork before the confusion of relay racing. Oops, I see that I just typed "so far" at both the front and back of that phrase up there but with this dial-up lag it's not worth going backwards, only forward. Yes I'm a poster child for all those laking Road Runner. lacking, too.
