Today at Target I bought rubber cement for my co-teacher and they needed my birthdate. The woman behind me said, "Maybe we should stop idiot proofing things and eventually they'll take care of themselves!" I liked her.
On my break, I went for a walk with a co-worker and she has been coming to me with her problems, but honestly this time I didn't have advice for her. I knew to say no when she asked me to solve it for her. But it seems like we have people trying to help children resolve conflicts who don't practice or even know how to practice it in their real lives.
I apologized to my best friend today. She's having a hard time too and I'm not sure why but I've been taking my bad attitude out on her. She acknowledged that I'm also having a hard time and that it was ok. I still don't feel right.
I'm having dinner with one of my former roommates next week. And my original gay boyfriend texted me today. I don't need facebook to talk to people, I need people to talk to people. I think I want to invite him for dinner tomorrow.
My productive "me" project today was going through my 2 craft boxes that I haven't unpacked in the 10 months I've lived here. I consolidated everything into 1 box, and used the second box to create "the project box." Some night I'll have people over and they can make whatever they want using the materials from inside the box. It might be fun to see what comes of it. I'll add more into the box as I go through more craft stuff.
I also got an idea for a project for the kids at school. I think I want to have one afternoon each week that is devoted to stickers. One of the projects will be to give the kids multiple stickers of each letter of their names, and they can peel them, recognize them, and maybe even spell their name? I have so many alphabet stickers. This will be awesome. Get rid of shit! It actually feels good to go through and get rid of stuff. I need to take the boxes in the back of my car to Goodwill this week. Let it go. Breathe.
