Exchange Rate

I had a conversation this morning that started like this:

Administrator: Good morning! How are you?
Me: Peachy!
Administrator: Oh, I wish I could say that.
Me (pausing a half-beat and then deciding what the hell): I wish I were telling the truth….

The first week of school is always stressful. You’ve heard the aphorism, “Make God Laugh. Make plans.“? If (s)he has a floor, (s)he is rolling on it and laughing his/her/its ass off this time every year. Still, we make plans. And then we show up and see what happens. And plans usually go out the window.

Overall, today went fairly well. So tomorrow I’ll show up again. And see what happens….

  Isn’t that what real life is? A succession of days where you just keep showing up?
  
  (I like to add a smile into the mix when I show up, but that’s just me…..I like to go through life leaving a little sparkly trail of joy…like tinkerbell…)
  
  Did your sign work?
  Was there cake?
  
  :0)
  
  Thanks, Tink!
  According to Woody Allen, 90% of life is just showing up.
  I found out I could have my cake… but not eat it. ~Tim
