To Quote Lew Grant ...

I cherish you people.

and ... life.

Okay. Today was the first day in nearly two weeks that I did not feel sick. Prednisone is magic stuff, man. And taking it for only three days means no nasty side effects, which is also good. I felt like a human being today, just with a stuffy nose, which is hardly cause for alarm. So basically, okay.

I had a very nice day at work, actually. I spent first period going over budget-y things with the Colleague and then hanging out in the hallway with a friend on hall duty, hearing about a nasty confrontation he had with another teacher the other day. So, boo to the bad guy. Then second period I had coffee with The Other Chai, then third period I had to see the Colleague again for a short budget conversation and then hung out with yet another pal on hall duty, talking about our kids. So really, I had a very nice morning.

I was also surreptitiously emptying cartons of copy/printer paper and putting the empty cartons in my car for R to move with. (I didn't take any paper, I just kindly unloaded it for people before anyone could open a box by tearing it open, rendering it useless to me.) So now my car is crammed with boxes, and I thought I'd email R and ask if she wanted me to meet her when she got home from work so I could unload them. And then she called me about 15 minutes ago and asked if she could take the train here to B-Town, stop in at her sister's store (her last day is tomorrow) and then would I take her home? Yes! Fits my plan perfectly. So this is how my day is going.

What a difference a day makes. Wait, let me write a song.

Meanwhile, the Hubs is on his annual business trip to A.C. (that's Atlantic City for you non-Jersey types, which I know is all of you), so he won't be back until tomorrow morning. He has to go to Minneapolis again in a few weeks, too.

I also dropped in on the Sibs before, and exchanged a few things we had for each other, so, nice to see her today, too. As of today, her husband is retired. Yesterday was his last day of class. No more commute from hell for him, so I'm very glad for both of them.

Okay, I'm going to shift some boxes around to make room for more and then meet the kid at the train.
