Empty Saturday

It's been ages since I woke up to a Saturday completely free from obligation. But, my tutoring clients are on vacation, I am on a mini-break between classes at school, and there are no out of town guests here. Plus, with the Stanley Cup victory last night, it's a good day to just hang out.

I'm still trying to make a plan for what to do in the fall. Originally, my plan was to get a special education job, finish my coursework part-time, then look for a reading specialist job the following year. You know what they say about the best laid plans....I couldn't be happier about this baby, but that plan is just not going to work now (I'm smiling as I write this, because she's kicking me, as if to say, "that's right, you can't forget about me!"). Ideally, I would find some kind of research or writing job that I could do from home, on a part-time basis in the fall. If not, I will probably try to finish my book, once and for all before the baby is born. Then, perhaps I will be catapulted into fame and fortune. Well, one can dream.

But for today, I'm putting off planning, to linger in my bathrobe, and sip tea, while watching the robins hop all over the garage roof, and marveling at yet another day of un-Pittsburgh-like blue sky.
