So what did you do?

As promised, I said I'd log what it is I got off my mind this week. While not too grandiose, I did nibble at the edges of some stuff that's been bugging. At the most basic level, I cleaned my desk. This, however, was no minor feat, and also caused me to unearth multiple scraps of paper reminding of other things I hadn't gotten done yet. Yikes. Nonetheless, it was hanging over my head, and it isn't anymore.

On a slightly grander scale, I also had a series of conversations with people at work about what my future might look like. I'm utterly phobic of stagnation right now. One of the reasons I left teaching was to have grand adventures and find out things about myself that I didn't already know. And I'll darned if I re-settle into new ruts. I need to keep freaking myself out.

And if you feel like you didn't get enough done to help yourself or the world out this week, you're probably right considering that this teacher did.

Lastly, tonight is Prom at the school where I taught. For the past 10 years my wife and I chaperoned Prom. I won't lie. I'm utterly bummed that we won't be there. "Date night" can't compare with "take your wife to Prom night."

Have a great weekend.
