Well, you have to laugh, don't you? I mean as if I wasn't already feeling drained enough after the end of year Staff Farewell at Strathmore Secondary, where I was farewelled along with several other wonderful staff, I came home to find the Cystic Fibrosis(CF) newsletter in the mail. My son has CF and has had his hardest year to date by a long, long stretch. Moving articles. Inspiring stories of adults with CF, the life and lung-changing benefits of lung transplant. Phew! Inspiring but confronting too.
So now I have really left Strathmore Secondary College. I have been farewelled 3 times and said my goodbyes to the school community.
Now I should be walking and getting ready for Christmas with my step-children tomorrow but all I want to do is go sleep or at least rest.
I am sure I am not the only person feeling this way on the 19th of December, especially those of us who have worked in schools.
So I wish you all a restful weekend and pray that it is a recreating and nurturing time.
BTW, I got the most gorgeous chocolate brown teddy from a Strathmore family and it came bearing a box of choccies and I got two gorgeous bone china mugs in a gorgeous gift box that I can re-use. And the super thing is that the mugs have pretty designs inside the mugs and one of them is on the correct side of the mug for me, a left-hander to see as I drink my tea. Bonus and a very pleasant surprise as this is most unusual, having the graphic inside the mug on the correct side of the mug for a lefthander I mean!
Well, I am going to rest before I push myself to do more strenuous tasks.
Zzz! Hopefully soon I'll have energy to dance!
