And spring break will be over. I find myself wishing I had longer to spend with Sweetpants but I know that's how things are. The day before spring break started he was notified that one of his school's 4 campuses (there he helps inmates earn high school diplomas) will be shut down. The last hired will be let go in order to find positions for senior teachers at the campus that is being closed.
So he's been job hunting. But that isn't all he's been doing. We've been watching Dark Shadows. We've been singing together and sitting and writing at the same time side-by-side. We've had silly dancing in our socks with the black light on and the curtains drawn. We've had long serious talks. It's felt like a kind of 32 and 1/3rd anniversary honeymoon. But tomorrow the party hats will be put away. Our oldest granddaughter is coming for a sleepover and we'll be focused on her, not each other. It's loving but a different kind of loving when you are enjoying a 4 year old together.
After that 2 more nights before he's back to school and I will be back to working away, seeing how many books and comics I can finish this year.
