This morning I woke up to the sound of Sam, my four-year-old buddy, delivering the mail to our house. I did not get up for another hour. (Just to clarify, I got home from the airport at 3am, which is why I was sleeping so late this morning.) The awesome thing is that it was raining and not stiflingly hot for the first time in ages. This meant that I could stay in bed without suffocating under my metal roof. And also, I forgot about how good the rain is. I am such a Portlander. I mean, I do like summer. I like sun and warmth... but there's something about the rain. Actually, I don't know if this is because of where I grew up so much as it is about personality. I love it when it rains after a long dry spell. And I love it when it's sunny after a long rainy spell. I think I just like to feel like I earned my weather. Like somehow I had the choice to stick it out or not, and I did, and now I deserve to have some relief from the heat for a day. What all of this pretty much means is that I'm a little crazy. But I'm okay with that. Today.
So... staff training started today. I have spent a ridiculous amount of time on the computer in the last couple of days, trying to get last minute details for DTS students sorted. We are combining with the DTS that runs in Auckland for this coming school-- actually, their students are coming up to Oak Ridge to do their DTS instead of doing it in Auckland, and so there is some serious coordinating to do. Oh, administration. How I procrastinate with thee. But I can't procrastinate this time, so that's... good? Anyway, that's my life right now. It's time for bed now. I've been up too long.
