I had dinner at Jo's last night. I haven't seen her since probably last July, maybe June. I was supposed to have hung out with her and Fluffy in August right before Brooklyn, but my mom wasn't letting me leave the house for anything but work at that point. Jo is wonderful. You can't hide from Jo, she asks the questions that get under your skin that are uncomfortable, but that really you need to talk about. That woman is a spiritual/mental homing device. Maybe your world isn't necessarily brighter after talking to her, but it isn't any darker, and it probably seems more fixable. Oh, that woman... ... The pool a town over called. I get to start teaching swimming lessons tonight. Whee! I hate to say it but I miss the little kids. I like being in the water. I like the really little kids who don't even know how to float yet, and laugh at everything. Some are scared of everything and you get to convince them how excellent water is. The ones who aren't scared of anything who'll hop right off the table if you're not watching, they want to swim so much they're sure they can. They're scary to watch over sometimes but they're game for anything. And I like the upper level kids who know all their strokes but just need to work on form and endurance. If you can get their form down it's just laps and you can do those with them. So as if it wasn't obvious I'm really looking forward to this. [Hopefully more hours to come.] Game night tonight at the coffeehouse, first since I've been home. Maybe it'll just be Dawe, Em, and I playing cards or whatever, but maybe Lisa or some other's will show up. It would be nice to see some of the old faces. Even just Dawe and Em are a riot though, I won't even hope for more.
