Spring Respite

Holy shit, this week has been a strange one. Kids going nuts, a ton of grading, a whirlwind of basketball coaching to finish the season, staying awake trying to get people to hear the GSW rap and an extremely awkward female episode — I guess I squandered an opportunity but I just thought it was a bad time…you know, in the living room with two other people only a few steps away. So, Spring Break truly comes at an opportune time. I have resolutions for the week: to resume daily jogging, to blog every day, to clean my bedroom and my classroom and to get my lessons in order but, more importantly, I just need to relax. I have this idea of taking the Greyhound down to Pismo Beach, or at least to Santa Cruz. It’s not so important that it be a solo trip, but I just want it free from obligation of any sort. Las Vegas is still a consideration. The most relaxed I can remember feeling in the past couple of years was when I visited Vegas with Special K and got a massage (my first!) at the spa at Monte Carlo. It might be expensive considering the obligatory ticket, room, food, show and blackjack, but hey, I pay $0 rent! And, yes, I’m silently weeping inside.

Anyway, wherever I end up traveling to, it will be worth the ride/flight and cash, because things are just becoming more energized and frantic.  I guess spring really is here.
