boing.

so even while i'm retired from education, my part time job that I work,in order to be able to eat and stuff, revolves roughly around the public school schedule. therefore, i'm on spring break this week.

and while per usual, i'm not going anywhere, it's been good. to start, there were the ncaa games to watch, and then there were some nice talks with my daughter. sleeping in. and then my son's family came to visit me. which was awesome.

and now that they are gone, i have a few days to do whatever i please, and nothing, before heading to the hometown for the easter holiday.

and everything is quite and rather nice here for those of us pinching our pennies and not going somewhere tropical on our spring break. EXCEPT for that it's cold and snowy.

and DARN IT, I'M TIRED OF WINTER, AND I WANT SOME WARM WEATHER!!! my apt sits on the very edge of a very cool, walking/jogging/running trail that cuts through the city. i have an itty bitty balcony patio that i just bought a little bistro table and chairs for. and when it gets really warm, there's a very nice pool here to use. i've planted a tomato plant and a sunflower in pots. i'm considering what other flowers i want to pot. (i also have started a banana plantation in a tiny little terrarium. (-:) where is my sun? where is

but so far, the only warmth i'm feeling is from the shower and the fireplace. my spring is broken!
