A Lovely Tribute

The funeral yesterday, though really difficult, was lovely. The morning had been so gloomy and cold but as we sat in the church waiting for mass to start, thinking about Jorge, there was a sudden break in the clouds and the sun streamed through the window, shining down on us all and warming our hearts. It felt like Jorge was joining us for a final farewell. A fellow teacher and good friend to Jorge did the eulogy and it was perfect. It made us cry a bit of course but also laugh out loud. It was a sweet tribute to a really good man. 

Afterwards, many of us headed to a nearby restaurant and had a couple drinks and lunch. I was home by 2ish and so was Jim. I did some yoga, walked the dogs and then made dinner (Trader Joe's Mandarin chicken, rice and broccoli). Tonight for dinner I think I'll make chicken fajitas in the air fryer. 

Tomorrow is going to suck because I have to be at school from 7:00 until 7:30. It's a long day and I'm tempted to take a quarter day but I get so much work done when I stay. I'll probably just suck it up and deal. I have one meeting (virtual) around 4:30. One thing that's stupid is that we have virtual meetings from 4:00 - 5ish and then in-person from 5ish - 7:30. A) Why do we have any in-person meetings!? It's so stupid. I feel like we learned nothing from Covid. B) Why are we still doing this? Why do we have to be at school for 12 1/2 hours? I understand it's in "exchange" for certain days off during the year but it's all horseshit. But like I said, I get a ton of shit done on these days. We'll see if I change my mind and decide to leave a little earlier than usual and just take a 1/4 day. 

What else? Oh, I finally had to turn on my heat last night. It's currently 36 degrees so I guess it was time. Of course the day I finally turn my heat on I get my Duke energy bill and it's dropped by about $30. Typical. (I do even-billing so I'll have a nice low bill for at least 3 months). 

And that's all I've got. Not much else is happening. Oh, except I think we have a move date for Mom. We just have to figure out the logistics in getting her up here. It's going to take some finagling but we'll figure it out. 

K - happy Wednesday. Later!
