Happy Birthday, Mom!!

Happy Birthday Mom! Dad left today. I’m all by myself. I did some grocery shopping today. I got home and tried to open some cans and realized that I don’t own a can opener. I had to go all the way back to the store to buy one. $11.95 later, and I was ready for lunch. Nothing too exciting happened today. Just some chilling out, unpacking and cleaning. Days like these make me miss everyone more. I can’t wait until school starts and I get to do some serious work, meet some new people, and get on with it.

At the same time, I’m getting a bit nervous. At the bank today, the teller welcomed me to the community and I said I’m excited to be here. She then said that I wouldn’t be for long and then said just kidding. And then at the general store, the clerk asked me if I was a new teacher and I said yes. She asked what grade I’ll be teaching and I said high school and she gave me this weary look that said, “Good luck, buddy!” Well, I’ll just have to deal with what comes to me.
