We had a fire drill today during SFA. Really, I was pleased that it wasn’t my fault, although I did sweat it at first! Then at lunch time the SFA staff and some other people (one of the people I carpool with, and someone else) had a little luncheon for me for getting my Master’s! It was very nice!
It has been weeks since I’ve had an entire class. Some stay home absent, and one or two go home sick. One threw up in my room yesterday (but managed to make it to the trash can first). That was my underdog friend. I’d sent him to the nurse, and she gave him mylanta per mom and sent him back. He wasn’t back ten minutes. First time it ever happened in my room in eleven years. Poor little guy. This is going through my room so slowly that it seems like it’ll never end. Some of the other teachers, they had like eleven kids out at once, which means that they were all sick at the same time, came back, and life went on.
I’m doing OK on my NaNoWriMo story so far, but it’s nothing like I expected. For one thing, I didn’t expect it to be in first person, with a bunch of different people telling the tale. Secondly, I expected the characters to be telling the truth when they told their part. Silly me!
I called and reserved a room for my cats at a place that boards pets so that I can go up to the family reunion in Phoenix. My friend who I thought would be able to keep an eye on them is going to Los Angeles — and was hoping I’d be able to keep an eye on hers! I still don’t know if we’re going up Wednesday after school or Thursday morning, but the cats have a reservation starting Wednesday afternoon. Since the singing part is Friday night, I’m guessing we’re coming home on Saturday. I also am expected to see my mother at some point during those two days. I heard a rumor that Glen and Aunt Kaye might be coming!
