Ok, to be honest, I don't know what a June bug is, but in this school, a June bug is the perpetual cold and flu that infects staff and students alike. Everyone seems to be battling some form of this; kleenex has become a de rigeur accessory. This is not to be confused with the summer fever, which is an infliction brought on by 23 degrees or higher in the sun. The days are really counting down. The theory is that if the day is 23 degrees or higher, the majority of students are skipping, and there is are many tee times available, it's a sun day. Similar to a snow day, we all go home. Wishful thinking, of course, but aren't there days where staying inside is simply torture?
I'm in the process of finding a summer job. 6 weeks or so of something that doesn't involve lesson planning or grade nines. A change is as good as a rest, so they say. Mom wants me to move home for awhile. It would be nice to be home for awhile, but I don't know if that means the whole summer or two weeks, or what. I was planning on finding something here in Swift, staying in my apartment. We'll see what happens. I don't want to leave my baby strawberry plant all by itself...
It will be good to be home this weekend. I get to spend an evening with Brandie, possibly see a movie, and hopefully have some new shorts cut out before I come back to Swift on Sunday. Maybe even a sun tan if I help Mom outside. Better pack the sunscreen!
