Checking in ...

Just a quick hello. I'm pooped!

I worked yesterday and today, attending the "beginning of the year" meetings. It's not something I've done before, and I found it to be pretty interesting. Usually everything is well underway by the time I'm walking down the halls, surrounded by 1100 teenagers. This was the first time I really got to see the nuts and bolts of education, and I was fascinated.

The other bonus, of course, was getting to see my friends again. We all lose touch over the summer, for whatever reason, and it's always nice to see everyone again.

Spent some time cutting up wool tonight. I still have some material from those recycled shirts back in June, so I've been stripping them. I'll finish them up tomorrow, then start the construction of Hester's Hat.

Right now, though, I have a dog curled up beside me in bed, snoring softly, and I'm just going to enjoy being content.
