Today I'm working on a story that is breaking my heart. It will run this weekend.
But it doesn't help a dear man, who I admired professionally, passed away on Monday. I wrote that story on Tuesday and it ran Wednesday. Steve Hill did so much for the children in this community. He loved teachers. He loved students.
And I'm just in whine mode. I really need day or two where I can just sit in the sun and read books. I need to find a good book I haven't read yet. But I will feel lazy and I will find something to do, like prune my roses. They really need to be pruned. And thin out my lilies. They really need thinning. Or putting away my winter sweaters, skirts, pants and boots. They need to disappear and the sandels, short sleeve T-shirts and cotton pants and skirts need to come out. Or just scrub out a kitchen cupboard or two or three or four. It's been a long winter.
I've been extra grumpy too. Poor Rod. He has to put up with extra grumpy. My poor coworkers and boss. They've had to put up with extra grumpy.
