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.
