My thoughts released; a mind set free
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations.

Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free.

Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

I'm docked at Talent Pond's Blog Harbor, a safe port for bloggers to connect.

I made it through the week and now the weekend is upon us. It's been a rough week, but then it's been pretty rough since Thanksgiving. That's when the schools and many others shut down for four weeks. At the end of four weeks, like last spring, it was extended another two, but at least this time it didn't keep getting extended. Monday food and beverage joints get to reopen. The school will reopen on Tuesday the nineteenth so about two months of me being stuck here as a teacher's assistant and activity director. Only, nothing is open so what activities?

The plan for the weekend isn't set yet, but tentatively, my wife and the girls are going to great-grandma's tomorrow and returning sometime on Sunday. It's to do some visiting and at the same time, I stay home to get a break from the last two months of trying to deal with two girls suffering from cabin fever, missing friends, and my attempts at teaching and helping with school work. We'll work out the plans tomorrow, but as I've come to anticipate from the last eleven months, there is nothing for sure these days.

Now, my question; will this be a nice break? I'm looking forward to some peace and quiet, but it's only going to be about twenty-four hours. Just enough time to get adjusted to some peace and quiet and then it starts right back up. It seems, in my mind, like giving a small taste of a wonderful treat, but then not letting me have more.

If the girls were going to school, it would be great, but now I get a very short break, then another week of the same frustrations. And, we still do not know for sure when they get to go back, on the nineteenth or if they wait until the twenty-second. See, they have hybrid learning here, so half the students go Monday and Tuesday, the other half on Thursday and Friday. We started like this, but a couple of weeks in, the kids with IEP's were able to go five days a week. Now, we don't know if they are doing the five days a week for IEP's again or not. I hope so, it works so much better for them with access to assistance at the school.

As for my plans for the weekend, I thought about going out ice fishing but not sure if I should since no one will be home if anything happens. I do need to do some work in the garage, so I may plug away on some of that. Then again I may just login here and spend the day. Right now, I'm feeling so burned out, I don't even want to think about making plans. That, and it's been a long time since I could actually plan something and then follow through with it.
