"There are trees in the desert since you moved out."

Curtis just talked to me.

Small talk really.

I feel tapped, and empty.

Non-descript was attacked by a snarky bastard today, for speaking the truth. I think he's rather a good fellow, actually. We queers can be overly sensitive, and in this case they must have not opened their ears to the truth.

Principal Salsa Del Fuego hired another male second grade teacher. The way she informed me of this, I SWEAR she was insinuating that she did it to set me up. Among other things, she says were going to be great friends, she can tell. Evidently he bares an uncanny resemblance to me, and several people approached me to say that they thought he was I.

I got a job offer from the educational publishing company of my dreams today. YAY! It's been one of those wishes in the back of my brain, and today it came true. I'm going to be traveling around teaching other teachers how to use this amazing science curriculum. Yay. I'm thinking it will be a career change for me in 1 to 2 years. Travel and much better pay, not to mention not having your brain pulled in 20 different directions simultaneously, buy the munchkins.

Bruce says he can ship my painting for me with his company for 45 dollars. This down, from $115, and that down from $243. WOOHOO! OH yeah, I don't think I ever wrote about that. I sold a painting to a guy in Milan, Italy. We couldn't get past the staggering shipping costs though. Now it looks like were over that hurdle. *really this is a big deal, i'm just tired, right now I'll just leave it as this news item for now.*

hugs.
