Hooray An Extra Day Off

We teachers were eagerly looking forward to Friday March 13th, 2020. Because at 4:30 our spring vacation was to start – a whole week vacation. Oh, man! We were excited! A week of rest would be plenty. But then a robot call told us to tune in to a certain TV station. We were told not to report to school the next day! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! An extra day off is what most of us thought. What a great thing! Never realizing what a pandemic could bring.

We were home from March 12th 2020 to March 8th 2021, teaching online. I never want to see that happen again!

Crazy, isn't it? After a year and a half of being pretty much self-quarantined, I went out Saturday night. I mean I went to smoky place where I was probably exposed to a zillion things, but I WAS HAPPY! And...I plan to do it again!

I have to admit LIVING is better than being quarantined.
