I'm so jealous.
Well, not so much as a regular thing, but certainly right now. I'm jealous of the young blonde pretty girl who has blithely reclaimed her job after maternity leave. I don't think she appreciates how good she has it. But, then again, maybe that's just me being old and petty. Because I feel old and petty. It doesn't matter that I've been approached about three or four other jobs. I want her job. I feel like a vulture. And I can't shake the feeling that somehow life is not being FAIR to me. Grmph.
On a brighter note, the class I'm teaching has been superb. I've had a wonderful time debating group theories and practices with them. Trying to come up with enough material to challenge them without overwhelming them. Too much fun.
Last weekend we bought a cabin. Out by Mount Pelly. So, if any of you want to come and visit, we can retire to the edge of civilization and hide. Come north. We'll fish. Or we'll just sit on the porch and watch the lake. (We have a porch! Near a lake!)
