- payroll: phone call with AC Enrollment looks low for next session. I may not get a class? I am asking about their process for assigning classes since I have seniority over many of the teachers + I am good at my job -- unless there's something that they're not telling me. She will ask the director; I willingly step out from time to time during a busy spat in my life and also to help the other teachers who need the income more than I do, but I don't want to be set aside permanently if there's now a downturn in the ESL business.
- darks: washing
- heard back from AC; she says I will get a class next session! I guess there was a misunderstanding.
- Made Kroger order
- changed and spiffed self
- to the school - to say "hi!" to friend and fellow teacher JD! SO good to see her!
- long chat in the parking lot with K and A, 2 other teachers
- home; put groceries away
- bins back from the curb; brought in mail and papers
- darks dried
- dinner: chicken fajitas (skipped the salad - but had lettuce and the requisite sauteed peppers and onions on hand for the fajitas)
- after dinner clean up done
I feel like I have had a really successful day. I did everything on the list I wrote before going to bed last night, and many more things as well.
In my sewing room I went to the cupboard that held the spandex/ stretchy fabric that I had made swim suits for myself, several biking shorts for my son when he was in high school and college 25-30 years ago! I will offer the larger pieces to local college costume shop, in case they can use it. Next I will check the patterns, and make sure that all the pieces for each are in their proper envelopes so I can donate them, confident that they are intact.
I found 3 pieces of fabric that have a disgusting oily feel to them - leaving a residue on my hands. I washed them in DAWN to see if that would remove that oily feel. It didn't make them any better so they are going to the garbage - I can't imagine anyone wanting to make anything with it.
Big bag for the trash - seed for next week's garbage pickup! It's all going away!!!! I'm not making bike shorts or swim suits any more. I will have an empty cupboard - and plenty of stuff to fill it, to clear off surfaces. Yay for me! patting myself on the back for eliminating some things from my house!
Now it's time to get ready for bed, and hope that my foot feels great in the morning.
