In the middle of things, that's pretty much our life right now. School is on hold while we move. We did manage to get in a solid seven weeks, all right maybe five of them were solid weeks.
We are transitioning from our ranch style home in the midst of a forest of very tall pine trees to a cozy charming bungalow on the corner. I'm in the middle of Nanowrimo (crazy people writing a story in a month).
I'm excited about the journey that lies before us. I'm excited about decorating a new classroom. Currently we use our former dining room and it's great, but we'll be using a bedroom and it has a door I can shut at the end of the day. That makes me do a happy dance. We have a cat that likes to eat paper and unfortunately now any paper left on the desk gets what Z refers to as "Cat approved".
I'm also looking at themes and colors for our new school. We're going with an around the world and through time type decor. I'll be getting a plant stand from my mother that is extremely cool. It's a swirled carved column about four feet high. Since I kill all plants, even Tigger takes care of his own catci, I'm going to buy a bust to put on the stand. I'm not sure who yet. Homer has given the Generation of Leaves theme that has permeated my life, Shakespeare is a given, and Beethoven would be great for my writing (I listen to Beethoven as I write). Z asked for copy of a Bastet statue he saw as we were studying Archaeology. I found a nice replica at Amazon for a
decent price.
But all of that is down the road, a long trip down the road. We'll get there and I have to remind myself each day we are simply in media res.
