Today was busybusybusy! It started with my first hour boys getting on my nerves (ugh--high school boys cannot be immature that early in the morning and expect me to handle it well) and ended with a break-neck drive to Carbondale and then to Carterville.
The break-neck speedy trip to Carbondale was to visit my financial advisor so we could sign me up for a Newness--today, I purchased myself a life insurance policy. Yeah, yeah, fiscal responsibility, blah, blah, good use of funding, blah, blah, blah. Basically, I have rearranged some funds that I used to contribute to a 403b but will now be spent on a life insurance policy that will earn more in case I need it if the government of Illinois decides to steal all my retirement funds. Mostly this means I will have less money for shoes right now, but I will be able to afford shoes in my retirement years.
Frankly, I'd rather have spent the evening ziplining or similar.
After the life insurance meeting, I had to hurry back over to Carterville to be on time for my photography class! Made it just in time after a quick trip to McDonald's (where I bumped into Becky May Stanton and family! [not sure what we even talked about--SO distracted by long wait at McD's and need to get to class on time...]). I parked my car in the right spot like a good girl this time and blazed into the building to get a good seat, ready to learn the next skills and to show and tell my pics. They got good review from the instructor--much relief! And now I am to work on next week's project: something that makes me happy and something that makes me sad. Already, the thoughts are swirling . . . .
But now, I need to spend some quality time with some tests. May the students have studied hard enough to make the grading easy . . . .
