somehow, by following my never say no/do whatever shows up theory, i have managed to arrange my summer.  when school ends at the end of may i will have a week off, then will be taking certification classes the first three weeks of june; then two weeks off, then teach art camps at the children’s home in the afternoon for three weeks in july, then another couple of weeks off and then school will start again for me august 13.  i have no idea if this will give me enough money to make it, but it will give me some.

don’t know what i’ve gotten myself into this time but there i am.

dysentery over, for the most part.  fever gone. freakout gone.  went back to work on friday and made it through.  still have another day until i go back again, and then just four days on and then four days off for easter.  then it’s a longish slog until may 24 and the paychecks stop until august, but i don’t think i’m all THAT far from making it through and maybe will only have to augment but $1000 or less, we’ll see.  maybe i can pick up enough over the summer—i’m scheduled to see somebody on monday about a parttime job teaching at a children’s home, so we’ll see—so i won’t have to borrow much.  i seem to have recovered from my job fears somewhat, too, if only by Not Thinking about them; my colleagues at the school at which i taught on Friday helped by laughing with me.  meanwhile, went to the yarn studio for a few hours yesterday and once again realized that the charm of that place has gone for me, too, what’s next?

thinking about going to church this easter, which would begin today.  still some reluctance, but the vote’s out until 11:00 on whether that will be overcome today, or next week or some other time.
