Vacation, Day 8
I just spent 2 hours and 48 minuted listening to
the same stories I heard all week.
Forgive me for being angry at a
wonderful old man - but I need to WRITE and it isn't my fault that I had planned
to be able to do so this week but can't now because his wife, Mike's stepmother
who is 4 years older than I am has decided not to come out and vacation with him
for a week because her job interview here fell through and her friend in Ohio is
dying and she has chosen to stay behind with him. So we are left with
entertainment duty...... somehow I thought they both would be more understanding
of my situation as she has just finished her own dissertation - but no - its
fine if I write in the back of the truck while being shuffled from one place to
another, listening to meaningless drivel - its just fine -
In a little while I have to take my
mom to the dentist, so that will blow another 2 hours minimum.
I need to stop at school today to
check on the fish. I needed to be in my classroom by now, prepping for the
school year. I have only a few days of freedom left.
I so totally vow that next summer is
mine.
Rant over. I need to write.
Alternatively, I could quit and go shoot myself in the head.
