Lunch call

I got a ring from a colleague from H.El(l) the other day, wondering, as it was Spring Break, would I like to meet her and another teacher for lunch. I happily agreed and looked forward to seeing them the next day.

But it's funny how things go. It was a nice lunch, and it was great to see them, but the first hitch came when I couldn't find a place for the kids to go, and ended up taking them with me. In retrospect, I realized that must have been intentional, in a subconscious attempt to forestall any talk of things I would find difficult.

It must have been so, for when I told them I wouldn't be back to H.El(l), I could feel the anxiety and discomfort tightening my throat. Hmmmm.....*she moves in mysterious ways*

So, next step is to start closing those doors, tidying up, officially letting go.

Oh, yeah--I can handle that.
