Marvin with Lizzie's new car on Father's DayI haven't written lately because I am on vacation. I guess it will be a looong vacation since that's what retirement is, according to what I am told.
I think I'm finally OK with it, it's rather freeing to know I won't have to worry about getting ready for 30 children, doing mountains of paperwork, testing etc. But I am sure I will miss lots of things too.
As I said before, I am happy my friend Jennifer is going to be in room 202. I spent many days cleaning and organizing, throwing tons of stuff away, and still the classroom is full! Lizzie was a big help, she got a ton of stuff done, thanks!
I am also going to sign up to be a substitute teacher, but just for Kinder and 1st grade, and just at Jersey School. I am also planning on volunteering some days when I feel like doing something other than lay around and sit in the Jacuzzi with a drink.
Marvin and I went to train for the cycler last Friday, and he's been doing it every night since. It is working OK, it takes a while to get used to it, but when he gets up in the morning, he's good to go for the rest of the day :)
I haven't done much since school ended. We've gone out to eat a couple of times, we have been working in the garden, gone to the store, etc. Basically being lazy.
I want to write about all my retirement "parties", not only to entertain you ;) but to keep a record of it. I already wrote about the retirement Tea given by the District. I will write about the dinner at El Cholo, the picnic at the park, then the last days of school, and finally the end of the year lunch. Many of the pictures I have already posted in Facebook.
You all take care! Love you.
