Last Day

I'm a day late with this one, so you'll have to forgive me! As expected, there was a lot going on.  Friday morning's weather accurately reflected my mood (sad to not see the faces of coworkers who have become close friends, on a daily basis; happy to be moving forward in my life).
 No picture for breakfast, but I picked up an onion bagel (dry, but toasted) and a coffee - I've been good about not having bagels, and decided to treat myself.

Lunch was from Thursday night's Whole Food's run.  Good!

 After I had taken FOUR trips to my car, loading it with my teaching life - I took a moment to stand in my empty classroom and say goodbye, before turning in my keys for the last time.
 I made sure not to take anything for my allergies, that I might imbibe a little with my work friends and acquaintances.  A discussion had taken place for my affection of vodka lemonade, and someone made it happen - I had two strong drinks, and lots of socializing. (Pink lemonade, Svedka vodka - I'll make homemade lemonade soon).
About two hours after my second drink, I headed home but stopped by Chipotle for a burrito bowl.  I was so tired and now had an allergy and vodka headache - so I ate half, and forgot to take a picture.  We all know what they look like, right? I'm excused?

Thank you for taking the time to read my last week! I have about eight weeks off, sprinkled with nine days of training for the new position, and new school.  I've already met many of my new co-workers, and actually there are three teachers from this school (who I all know pretty well) moving with me.  In the meantime, I'm going to soak up some summer! Have a great weekend, everyone!

  2. Yay! I'm so excited for you!! Congrats!! It seems like you had a nice balance of reflection and celebration :) I'm sorry that you allergies are still bothering you, headaches are the worst!

    You definitely deserved that bagel and the wrap looks delicious! I have to try a vodka lemonade at some point! Between you and Shen I'm totally curious to see how they taste! I won't be drinking anything til after Tough Mudder though, except on my birthday ;) A vodka lemonade sounds so refreshing though! A burrito bowl sounds like a good way to soak up the cocktails too ;)

    Feel better, get some rest and enjoy the first moments of your long vacation! I'm so jealous of your 8 weeks, ha! Congrats again!

    1. Thank you, Sarah! It was a good end to my time there. My allergies are slowly improving, currently at about 90% normal function.

      Homemade lemonade with cold vodka is a great summer treat. I've already made plans to enjoy some with a friend soon! Ha! Having something special on your birthday is a must. :) I had a Chipotle bowl for that reason alone - although I still had a headache in the morning.

      Lots of rest happening this weekend! I hope the wedding you work today goes well!
