Back to School

School just seems like the same old/same old. The first day of 2^nd year started inauspiciously. Younger son was not feeling well, but had no fever and certainly wasn’t ready to stay home. He gleaned that there was a possibility of spending the day with Gramma and the coughs came – fast, furious, and loud. (We sent him to school anyway, but he convinced the schoolteacher and office personnel that he was too sick to stay).

I tried casual carpool this morning hoping to save money, but it took seven minutes to get a ride and there was traffic combined with a non-aggressive drive costing at least another 5-10 minutes. No surprise I was 15 minutes late to class. I’m not sure whether to give up or just keep track to see how much time I actually do need. It was great seeing my classmates again, but it surprises me how mundane it feels.
