How Can it Be?

Logging into my work email remotely and I begrudgingly said 'yes' to the 'turn off out of office notification'.  Bummer.  Total bummer.

On the bright side, I did sleep last night - though there were weird work dreams scattered in off and on.  I truly rarely dream about work - I do wake up and think about work - but dreaming about people, places and things related to work doesn't happen that often.  So it was a weird off and on sleep night - but there was sleep and I'm grateful for that.

The weekend passed relatively uneventfully and it's now officially the first Monday back from vacation. Two more weeks of our four ten hour days left before the school site staff will start to return.  It will be a busy year as they always are.

I turn my attentions to closing the books for the year; revamping and revising our district budget based on the State budget passed.  Governor Brown's proposal to completely revamp education funding in our state passed so we have no idea what our 13-14 funding looks like.  I should get a glimmer of that today as I dig back in and start sketching things out with the info we have.  I head to Sacramento tomorrow where it should all be as clear as swamp water.

The Army Ranger class B. was in graduated this past Friday and I felt a little melancholy that we weren't there to celebrate our Ranger graduate - but I reminded myself that I truly believe things happen for a reason and this just wasn't B.'s time to pursue that goal.  His good friend Daniel did successfully graduate as an Airborne Ranger and I am happy for him!  And while I was melancholy and sad a bit about it all, I was also a teeny bit grateful that we didn't have to head to Georgia from Cancun.  Though I do love Georgia and feel sad about not having any reason to go back there anytime soon.

Plenty of other Army bases to visit in our future....

I'd better get moving.  I have no idea what I will wear to work - I wore jeans most of the week before we left on vacation but I felt 'under-dressed'.  Our new sup is here now so I want to at least dress in work clothes vs. casual clothes.

The ironing board is covered with 'stuff' from the unpacking that's been going on since we arrived home...so I need to clean that stuff off to press whatever it is I plan to wear.

And so it begins....
