Field day...at the field (how appropriate)--

Good morning, dear readers!

Today is "field day" at my school-- shenanigans at the community field, and early dismissal at noon. The middle school student council raised money all year to feed us all as well-- something or other on the grill, I guess. It's a nice gesture. And there's going to be a food truck selling customized ice cream floats. Sugar-tastic!

Now, if the weather would not be so darn iffy that would be good. We have a couple of hours, so maybe the sun will break through this early morning overcast. I sure hope so. 

Then, tomorrow is IT. Tidying up, a staff meeting, then out out out. 

This is a good thing. I am looking at my garden, the weeds and the trimming, the fact that I have not even finished putting out deck furniture... granted, it's rained almost nonstop for a month, but yeah--time to shift to summer mode. 

I'm hopeful we can put the pool up this weekend. I have no illusions of getting in it just yet, but the longer range forecast for next week looks like some temps in the low 80s, so the water may warm up a bit. I debated a bit about even putting it up, but Holly would be heartbroken, and hell, I can't do that to her! We may not use it as much as I'd like (darn weather pattern), but it'll be nice for the occasional nice day. Maybe July will be nicer. Probably will be during the week I have to be indoors for the AP institute. 

At any rate, I should have some flex time to read, to putter around outside, and so on... I hope so. I had a stress dream that woke me up right before my alarm-- a school-related one, and nothing that would likely even happen, but still. I need a mental break. But first, doing some work on the big theatre trip in September...

Have a good day, folks. Pray for some sunny and warm days. It's far too wet around here.
