Y7 D23

Only two more days until we are in the park! I can do this! I am not even ready for this trip but I so need this trip. Haven't been to the park since February. That seems like forever ago. This year has been going by at a weird pace. I can't believe it's almost July to be honest. A lot has gone on in the last year. Well you know, you read this.

Taught a full class yesterday. First class this size in a while that understood the concept of the mute button without me having to repeat myself 50 times. That was refreshing. This class tends to attract a certain type of student who has a little more intelligence than some of our other classes. They have to if they're going to succeed using the tool. Finished up class around 2:30 and needed a nap. Naps are so good. I like naps. The one thing from childhood that no one should ever have to lose. There's a reason why whole countries would take naps. That is until we butted in and imposed our western views on them. I need to move to a country that understands the glory of the nap.

When I woke up we went out to try and find something for this trip. I wanted a new day bag and B wanted a new backpack also for this trip. I needed something to put pins, suntan lotion, wallet, water, etc in that isn't a messenger bag. Those kind of bags are too bulky to use at the park all day. I recently have been using a little Stitch backpack but that doesn't have enough pockets on the inside and it would be frustrating digging through it all the time. So yes, I needed some kind of purse that would work. Six stores and three hours later I found one at Ross that works. Not too girly but not some 'manly' messenger bag either. Enough pockets for things to be organized and a think enough strap that it won't fall all over the place either. I wanted something that had a strap that could work either cross body or one shoulder. Success. We also grabbed some dinner while we were out, Red Robin. We both had a somewhat healthy meal. B had a spinach wrap and I had a wedge salad with a teriyaki burger.

Got back home and watched the end of Friends. It's taken us 3 months I think since we started watching, but we did it. We made it through 10 seasons of Friends. Not bad since I watched the original over 10 years. Next up for us is OINTB season 3. We have been waiting to watch it because we didn't want to be dealing with multiple shows. Well she didn't. I don't mind. Either way, one down, only 300 unwatched TV shows to go.

I went to bed around 10:40 and slept pretty well. In a few day 2 of class begins. Then just one more day and I am park bound!
