Chaotic Tranquility

Day 83

Saturday

Today I felt like the kid who hadn’t quite put her goggles on and her little brother went ahead and pushed her into the pool. It was a rough start. Late wake up. Faulty coordination of time zones led to a 2 hour nap waiting for a Skype date with a far away friend, unsure if I was really early or really late. And the internet connection didn’t help clear much up when we did connect. A swim at the pool did little to wake me up; rather it made me long for back floats in the sun on a lazy river.

It was one of the days when you trip walking up the stairs. But really despite the mess I was perpetually caught in, I didn’t have to yell at any of my students. Maybe that’s why I was all over the place – my energy is so used to being focused and pointed that when I’m faced with a pleasant sunny day, I fall to pieces…

Need to work on that.
