A month ago, I didn't mind not knowing when we'd leave for Abu Dhabi. There were other things to focus on then. Between summer school, moving, our upcoming travels to Michigan and Aruba, there was plenty to obscure the approaching precipice.
Now, we're really just waiting. I'm checking email obsessively. Reading posts on Facebook from teachers who made the journey last week. It sounds like we've got some good things in store: the hotel where ADEC is putting up the newly arrived teachers is 5-stars, and a lot of folks are raving about the gracious way they are being treated. They are even saying nice things about the airline.
All of this, of course, just makes me more anxious to get a move on.
So Franny and I don't have much left to do in SF. Just hang out for a bit and try to enjoy SF while we're still here. Say some goodbyes, or perhaps seeyalaters. Today we're going to have a tourist day in the city, ride bikes around to all the places you take for granted when you live here, take pictures, that kind of thing.
School starts at SMHS tomorrow. It's strange that I won't be there. There's a lot of that feeling right now, though. Wondering what I won't be around for--weddings, births, heartbreaks, breakthroughs. But that kind of thinking just makes me crazy. You have to choose a somewhere, and that necessitates a lot of missing out on the everywhere else. Right?
The cats are wrestling in the hallway. Cuteness trumps ennui.
Oh--hello, world!
