+So the last week of school before break for holidays/winter time was really busy and interesting too I suppose. I really want to write and publish my book/s so I can be off and running and work part time at school. I waited until break to get sick I have a medium bad low grade cold now. We didn't make it to the school play, instead attending Steve's coworker's Christmas party which was a nice time with good snacks and ping pong games. I didn't know anyone else but I didn't feel excluded because Steve was there for me and didn't ignore me. I wish there had been more dancing and that we weren't relegated to the garage area, but that's okay, it was definitely a fun and friendly gathering. Although, strangely, the one library employee who has ever been kind of rude and snotty to me showed up as the guest of an employee. When I found out What? There was just a tiny red breasted hummingbird flying in my window! Negativity over. Try to think positive now, eh? Poor little tiny cold hummingbird. What is it up to? Is that a 'sign of snow to come'?
We did get to go to the choir concert which was lovely and had a few kids I knew from school performing too.
I gave out all the music CDs I bought in Seattle from my brother-in-law's pipe band to people at work, nicely wrapped by moi, and one to the nice man at the post office. He always has a friendly manner and helps me add up stamps too. I made brownie's from Katharine Hepburn's recipe for the Christmas party, the post office and Garage Sale Warehouse team. Also for our maintenance man Matt, who came to fix the sink. He replaced the bathroom faucet and shared that it also happened to be his birthday so I gifted him the Pickle Rick picture he admired that I had printed out at the library. The drama teacher gave me a huge bottle of beer which I drank that very night (the last day of school) and I asked him to please text me if he goes to school to do clean up and work so I can come help. Hopefully he does because I want to help out more. It's a good feeling to volunteer and I like doing theater related things, whatever they are.
I don't usually get my family (sister and her kids) Xmas gifts, just birthday ones, but this year I sent her something because she had us over for Thanksgiving and all.Just a good Seattle trip mostly, and I thank Steve for that because he kept a mostly positive attitude! We got to ride bikes along the pier and go to an artsy cafe for pie, have some very good pizza and go to an indie cinema to see Three Billboards, which happened to be practically just across the street from the hotel.
The kids at school got to make nachos the last day and I got to take some leftovers home so we had that for yummy supper the next day. There was also some yummy cheese and croissants and grapes that Miss. Susan brought but it wasn't for taking home. I need to get my own cheeses and grapes. But grapes and cheeses that other people bought always taste better and seem more appealing. A-peeling, get it? Ha ha ha. Someone also brought BlueStar donuts the other day, which was nice. And the kids got to make cupcakes for 'life-skills' class. One student keeps showing up with new scratches on his arm and I wish I could encourage him to find a more productive hobby. We watched the Jim Carrey Grinch movie in the last class, which I hadn't seen before, and last night after playing some Harvey Birdman game, Steve and I watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was great! PEACE!
