July ends, work resumes...
Whoa! How'd THAT happen?
Tomorrow, I go back to work.
Tomorrow, I go back to work.
TO-MOR-ROW!!!
July flew by in a wink of the eye. (Looka me, I made a rhyme!)
Here's a wrap-up of How-I-Spent-My -Summer-Vacation...
You know about our beach house weekend - definitely the highlight!
I made phone calls, cleaned up some long over-due filing, had (several!) lunch dates with friends (a luxury i enjoy so much and don't have when i'm working), a couple of beach days, Mamma Mia, read a few books. (I'm reading The Handmaid's Tale right now. {From the back cover: Funny, unexpected, horrifying and altogether convincing, The Handmaid's Tale is at once scathing satire, dire warning and tour de force.} It's quite good. )
I took care of some doctor appointments including this! (fun!)
My daughter and I went to the Happiest Place on Earth. We had a fabulous time! Lots and lots of laugh-out-loud moments!

Oh, yeah and Coldplay! Wooh, that was fun :-)
We've been shopping and planning and preparing for my girl's move to SDSU. Next week, we'll go for Orientation. She'll get her class schedule all mapped out and register for classes. The big move takes place August 29th. I am very proud and excited for her. (wahhhhhh!) No really, I am.
As I head back at work, the task of opening school awaits. There are changes taking place this year that I'm cautiously hoping will be for the better. I plan to try to make some changes myself to implement what I know would be better for the school office. The climate last year was, for me personally, miserable. I'm going to make every effort to change that. This will be a challenge, to put it mildly...
*BIG deep breath*
So, tonight we've had dinner on the patio and in less than 12 hours I'll be back at school. Heaven help me.
I think I'd best stop at Starbux on my way in...
(As a side note, I've really enjoyed having the time to visit friends and visit blogs and actually have time to comment. And read books. And make my own schedule. "Time" is what I crave the most sometimes...) (not really a "side note" after all.)

I don't know, it's possible that having a month off between work would be harder than just continuing to go every day... This girl would LOVE it but I can see how it would be hard... Great news for YOUR girl heading off to university, what an accomplishment! I'm sure you are as happy as sad. But she will love it!! bigs hugs to you and yours.... good luck with the new outlook on work, i hope things DO change for the better.

I should have said how I am ever so grateful that my job allows me the time off. I don't take it for granted, and really enjoy my break.

Awwwwwwww......BOY do I remember packing the girl up and sending her off. *sigh*
But I gotta tell ya, it's such an awesome kinda relationship today--it's unreal. And I thought it was awesome before.... :-)
You know me, ma'am.....BE the change you wanna see. Great things happen, really! (I know you'll do just fine.)

*hugshugshugs*
Yup....thinkin' it's gonna be an awesome year for you--and I'm sure you outshined 'em all on day one!
Sounds like a lot of fun new beginnings! You guys start school really early there. Here in CT it doesn't start up until the last weekend of August.
Wow, your baby is going off to college. I hope you get to visit often. :(
So I guess you're back at school today. I sure hope it does become a better climate for you. We spend so much time at work; so it's important that we're not miserable there.
xoxo
