Tonight's Poet Corner: Introspection

All right, another week done with. I settled back into teaching after a week long break, got some writing done, had lovely times with the wifey, and enjoyed drinks and board games (and a giant Jenda tower) with a couple of buddies/coworkers tonight.

Let's see what we've got next on the docket.

Ah, yes, the wifey is turning 29 on Monday.

I will most definitely receive a RIF letter on Tuesday or Wednesday. Thus begins the fight to keep my job.

Moving on to new units in all of my English classes. Journalism, rhetoric, and Macbeth, here I come.

It's going to be March. What is time?

Yeah, that's about it.

To bed with me.

Have a great night and a great weekend, everyone.

Her curls lay in wet swaths around the warm nape of her neck. The statues would crumble in due time. The deluge was impending. We both would drown.
