Sunrise
Today I woke up to my cell phone alarm, set on the kitchen table. When I went out to hit snooze (I'm a pro-snoozer), I stood by the window and watched the sun rise over the White Mountains. No matter how many spiders I may squash or leaks I may have, I still have an unobstructed view of the sunrise over the mountains.
Speaking of bugs, I still haven't seen any (living) scorpions (knock on wood). I told a friend of mine that I'd be wearing nothing but boots down here, and she predicted I'd toughen up and run around barefoot. I'm not quite there yet, but sure enough, I am wandering about outside in flip-flops!
Tomorrow's Parent-Teacher Conference day from 1-6. No conferences are actually scheduled (apparently that just doesn't work here: people live on their own schedules.), so I just hang out in my classroom and hope people show up. I'm nervous and curious about what the turn-out rate will be. I'm scared that it'll be abysmally low.
