It's been a hard week, having to get back into the swing of teaching. My accident was seven weeks ago tomorrow and this is the first full week of teaching I've done since then. It's gone by fast but it's tiring. It doesn't help that I'm cheap and don't want to pay for a taxi to get to and from school. That translates to 35-40 minute commute times each way. I'm certainly getting exercise with all this walking but it's getting a bit dull.

At 8:00 this evening Lee and I looked at each other and decided it was too early to go to bed, although it sounded tempting. Instead, we headed outside to walk around the park for a few minutes. Us and everyone else in the neighborhood. There were people strolling and running, walking their dogs and doing tai chi. The park is quite the happening place in the evenings.

It's now 9:00 and I can turn off my computer. I had given one of my recalcitrant 6th graders until 9:00 to hand in an assignment for me to edit but he has clearly decided not to so it's time for me to unwind and him to accept a zero in the grade book.
