My Life as an Old Lady
Phew, it's been a long day. After getting home from work last night after midnight, I got up this morning and went to a five hour class on being a literacy tutor, followed immediately by another eight hours of work. The tutoring class was entertaining to me because of the demographic represented; of the eleven of us who showed up to volunteer, I was the only one who wasn't female and ninety. One of the guys running the class mentioned that in both of the previous groups, someone had been knitting (!) the whole time. So that's my new crew, post-menopausal do-gooders fighting empty nest syndrome. I can't wait for bingo night!
In all seriousness, I still think tutoring will be a fun and rewarding experience. It will take a while to get started, though, since they take a month to run a background check on me and make sure I'm not too dangerous before unleashing me on one of the seventy folks on their waitlist.
I'm still looking for a new roommate/apartment situation, and starting to get stressed with less than two weeks left in the month. No place I've looked at has been too exciting, with two of the front-runners being a roommate who practices his drums daily and a roommate who lives with her twelve-year-old daughter.
In other news, I just relaxed with a rootbeer float. Man, those things are delicious! I should drink that more often.
