Wednesday. Take Two...

OK. I think I've got this all straight now. Yesterday=Tuesday. Today=Wednesday. Assuming I have some kind of grip on the timeline as we know it, I'm going to go ahead with The Wednesday Night Bullet Post. If you read this from some alternate universe or don't get to it until tomorrow, I don't particularly want to hear about it. I've had enough day-related confusion, thank you very much!

*Lots of staff shuffling going on in my school district these days. People are getting reassigned all over the place.

*I was told very clearly that nothing was final and that I should not even think about discussing the matter. Penalty of death and all that nonsense...

*Everyone else, apparently, does not care about penalties and told their staff what was going on anyway.

*Which is how my staff first heard about it at a meeting yesterday with no warning whatsoever while everyone else sat there nodding sagely.

*They did not know that they might have to move to a new classroom and were not expecting it at all.

*You can only imagine the degree to which I feel like an utter jerk.

*This could also explain the headache I've had for two days now.

*I didn't knit today because I got home late. And because it was not a day where I can ride the little exercise bike with my hands free to make sleeves happen.

*I did twenty minutes of lifting and then gave in to the headache.

*I'll knit tomorrow. Or maybe the next day...

*I finally got a check reimbursing me for all those bowling trips I paid for over the course of the school year.

*For the record, if you think your kid's teacher doesn't pay for stuff out of pocket, you are mistaken. We do it daily. I'm not kidding.

*I couldn't get all the money back due to lack of receipts, but I still think the sixty-six bucks in my wallet right now is pretty cool.

*I also have a check gifted unto me from Mommy and Daddy Sheep in that wallet. The checks are snuggled right up together nicely.

*If I leave them alone and let nature take its course, I do believe I will have a brand new, bouncing baby purse sometime within the next few days.

*At least that is how I remember it from Health class. I'll probably also have to go to the store, but I think I can manage that.

*I like purses. But I'm picky about them. They need to be gi-normous.

*For carrying emergency supplies.

*I'm like that. I can't help it. I like to carry stuff. Just in case...

*Remember my former Cheerful Teaching Assistant? The one I lost in the last Great School District Staff Shuffle? She like purses, too. I miss talking purses with her.

*And writing. She's a writer sort of like me only better and probably more organized about it.

*And reading. We both read lots.

*And knitting! Don't forget the knitting! We talked about knitting a lot, too.

*I miss talking to the CTA.

*Whoops. Just had to go remove an Absurdly Gi-normous Kitty from behind the television.

*The nice, new flat screen that I gave myself last month.

*He has good taste in the things he likes to hide behind and possibly topple to the floor.

*Did I mention that there is a great shuffling of staff going on in my school district?

*And that I haven't been able to discuss the matter?

*Penalty Of Death?

*Even if everyone else got to talk about it freely and without the Death Penalty hanging over their heads?

*It is now official, barring any further complications. I can discuss. Freely.

*The only thing standing between me and the discussing was one person's decision. Today, she made it.

*This is bigger than my headache.

*It is bigger than my Absurdly Gi-normous Kitty.

*It is bigger than my flat screen TV.

*The CTA is coming home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*A Happy Song For A Happy Day:
