Sleeping In A Lot

 

Hello Everyone:

Sorry about yesterday, I had one of those headaches that wipe me out.  I ended up falling asleep sometime after 9:00 pm and not getting up until about 7:00 am.  It's funny, since mum's passing I've been sleeping a lot.  I don't know maybe it's me catching up on all the lost sleep or just not having any real reason to get up early.  I think it's probably the second reason.  When I have a reason to get with the alarm, I do it, otherwise, I'd really rather not.  It's not like I have anywhere to be at a specific time.  I asked myself today, why am I even getting dressed?  It's not like I have anywhere to go or anyone to see.  I guess I just automatically get dressed for myself.  Or maybe I just finally got around to the sweat pants part of quarantine.  If that's case, any day now I'm going to start streaming movies and television series while eating pizza.  Anyway, I'm putting the word out that I'd like to work in one of the local schools either in the office or classroom.  My real concern is how the principle will respond to someone who isn't religious.  I guess as long as follow the school dress code, keep myself sufficiently covered up, I shouldn't have a problem.  Speaking of school, another thing that has entered my consciousness is going back to grad school, at least on a part time basis.  I think now that mum's gone, I can begin to realize the live I always imagined for myself.  It won't be easy and I have no illusions but I do have confidence in myself to get it done.  Working and going school at the same time is never easy but I can do it.  I think that by going to school part time, it'll be less stress than working and going to school full time.  What would I study?  I'd finally get that second masters degree in urban planning.  I definitely wouldn't go for the Ph.D because I really don't want to teach in the current state of academia where every utterance is subject to intense scrutiny by the P.C. police.  Anyway, I need to eat.
