Yesterday, we did some hiking and had a wonderful time checking out small streams and waterfalls and enjoying the scenery. Mostly, we have just enjoyed being with one another and being kind of lazy. It’s spring break and teachers need the rest and relaxation much more than the kids. We have to have the strength to forge ahead through the last few months at school and make sure that the students don’t give up too quickly or easily.
I’ll be heading home later today. It’s been a wonderful trip. I haven’t had much internet access up here on the mountain, which is the reason for the short posts.
A quick health update: the new antidepressant seems to be working well and my body is adjusting. Also, the medicine for my cluster headaches seems to be working. As I’m typing this, I unbelievably am not experiencing any pain.
