Cockles, Rodin, Orpheus, Procrastination
Hello everyone. Only 13 more sleeps until I arrive in Vancouver. But who's counting? I have been very busy this week. It's a good thing - helps keep the sadness at bay.
I subbed for the third day in a row in a grade 6 class at "the Island," my last school before I retired. It is wonderful to walk into a school and be greeted by dozens of smiling faces. And those are just the teachers - must have been hundreds of little smiling student faces! It warms the cockles of my heart. I wonder exactly what are the "cockles" of one's heart. Sounds a bit risque.
Well, I have one more half day tomorrow (afternoon, so I can sleep in) at the other school where they are glad to see me come in through the door. It might have something to do with the bribery, the cookies and banana bread I bake for the staff, but hey, whatever works, huh?
Went to what was an extra hip-hop dance class last night. Our instructor liked working with us so much, she volunteered to give us an extra class. Boy, was I sore today. But our instructor was so pleased with what we are doing that she volunteered to give us ANOTHER extra class! I'm going to try to get someone with a video camera to take some footage next Tuesday. Give everyone a laugh.
Tomorrow night I also have an executive meeting with the Humanists.
Friday I'm going to see the Rodin exhibit at the Winnipeg Art Gallery with my friend, S. She is a seventy-something retired pathologist who emigrated from Russia in the nineteen sixties. What a neat lady.
Then Saturday I go to another Manitoba Theatre Centre play, Orpheus Descending, by Tennesee Williams. We will go to Inferno's for dinner and back here for games and drinks. So that means I will have to clean the house on Saturday morning.
Sunday I am hosting the family that wants to be introduced to Suzie, to see whether they are compatible. Sometime during the very busy next four days I have to put out the December issue of the Humanist newsletter. Wow, it makes me tired just writing about it. I guess I should get down to work, huh? Stop procrastinating.
I did read lots of blogs lately - Gary's, Jack's, Charlene's, Helen Kirkwood's. It's so great to read any and all news. I love it, even if people say they have nothing to write about. The ordinary everyday events of people's lives is more interesting than they know.
Love to all and keep your stick on the ice.
Energy and persistence conquer all things.
