Phew. Am I Somewhat Off the Radar for the Weekend? What's That? No Zooms on Schedule? Catch-Up Meetings? Obligations?

Okay. I mythologized a little. I have obligations, but nothing was finalized. I looked at my calendar at 9:30 pm last night and thought, "Oh, My God. I have nothing on the radar. Can this be true? You mean I can grade? Think? Plan? Breathe?

Then I saw the list of obligations and realized, "Oh, it's on the radar, but no one else confirmed, so now I wait for panic-strickened emergency emails. "Crandall, I totally forgot. Do you think we might.....".

Seriously, I'm like, "Um...24 hours without the quest to be in need? Can this be true?" 

I know I have non-social media obligations and responsibilities, but they can occur beyond ZOOM and I'm thrilled about that. I'm also super happy that I can wake up this morning and slowly meander into the work that needs to be done. I realize it's a catch up day and these can be worse, but I seriously have no absolutes in the day, unless I hear from a series of teachers who (like me) have probably not had a chance to go through the 101 unread emails. 

Chitunga took a personal retreat to the Catskills and I sort of wish I went with him (although he wants space away from Mt. Pleasant by himself). I'm afraid to look in the rearview mirror of the week that just was, I'm just thankful that I'm alive to type this wonkiness today.What a week!

And I made it. Tell me, are Saturday cartoons still carefree and mind-numbing? If so, I just might turn them on.
