Crazy beginning of 2010

Just when you are praying that 2010 will not be a repeat of the mistakes of 2009, Charlie is arrested again. I have had the same student for almost 50 days in the truck (he was only supposed to be here for 35) and he will be leaving tomorrow. It has been an interesting journey learning to teach someone else what you hardly think you know yourself.

So it is planning, working, plotting to get home for a few days off. I have not truly had time off for more than ... I cannot remember the last time I was home for more than just a few hours. Will make effort to see Jean also this time around. Maybe I will take 48 hours or maybe even 72 hours off. Such scandal.

I will miss Jon, but it is time for him to move along. Now I just pray for his success and my own.
