One day of school left until Spring Break and I'm ***almost*** done with the yearbook. I'm looking forward to relaxing with the alpacas.
Also, I found out this morning I still have a job next year - as of right now. I expected to feel relieved by that, but considering:
- they're talking about adding furlough days
- we're still under a pay freeze
- my opportunities to make extra money will most likely disappear
- I'm barely making ends meet as it is and
- it doesn't look like any of this will change for the next 2-3 years...
Yeah. I wonder why I'm not more relieved?
I'm thankful.... really I am. It could be so much worse... So I'm trying to stay positive, but all the stress and worry is kind of getting in the way.

Finished up two weeks of state testing and the play last week and tonight was the last night of bowling.
I'm feeling slightly more relaxed...
Looking forward to finishing up the yearbook this week and we should be finding out who's cut from work and who's staying on this week...
So.... a couple more big things coming up this week. Just three more days... that's what I keep telling myself. Then I'll be at the alpaca ranch, chilling with friends and critters galore.

Two more days....
Two more days until the school play....
And as of this afternoon I am extremely nervous.
I'm just hoping they pull through for us in the end - like they did last year.
My co-director and I thought we had a good idea of what we were getting ourselves into this year - since we'd done it last year - but we now see that we were a bit ambitious. We chose an unknown play, not like the familiar Wizard of Oz. We also have a larger cast and a longer play... plus a few other challenges.
I'm just hoping for the best and looking forward to having 2 evenings a week back to myself!

Bowling
My Friday Night League had their end-of-the-year party tonight. I received a "Triplicate" patch for the night I bowled three games in a row with the same score. That's pretty rare and a total fluke!
I also received a "Doubles Champion" patch for winning the doubles tournament a few weekends ago. That was reallllllly awesome! I bowled with a lady from work and we both bowled over our averages and we won the tournament! We also got our names on the "bowling board" - you know the board all bowling alleys have? It's the one I always look at in awe and think "If only..." and MY name is on a "bowling board." EEEeeeeeee!
I should also have a 2-7 split pin coming my way for my first ever split!
This is added to what I won over three years in MN leagues:
- High Series patch
- 75 pins over average game patch
- 180 game patch
- 140 game patch
- 140 pins over series patch
- 500 series pin
I'm not a very good bowler, but I enjoy it and it's awesome to get prizes for something you enjoy!
