We have a "new" desk available for just about every teacher at St. Mary's. That's exciting.
The bookshelves for the library are lovely, sturdy and fairly easy to take apart. But we are going to have some work configuring them into the small space that is the school library in a way that the kids will find useful and everyone else will find navigable.
Plus, we can have our pick of about 30 or so other single-sided tall bookshelves for the classrooms and storage areas in school -- very nice indeed, but also presents a puzzle on where and how to arrange them.
Either way, though? It's going to be very, very nice. The library shelves are a deep forest green, and are so sturdy. They really will last for a lifetime for the school.
Am having a moment of serious gratitude here this morning for the furniture donations from Steptoe. This is going to make a huge difference for the school for years and years to come.
Today, I'll be on the phone a lot working out the remainder of the details for the moving truck parking (we have to buy bags to cover city parking meters for the truck to park by the building for loading), to give the movers the inventory list so they can prep the truck, and several other things.
Was hoping to get some writing in this week, but it looks sketchy. I'm charging my netbook, though, in the hopes that I can at least get an hour or so in this afternoon if I can slip over to Starbucks.
It's funny, because I spent so much time in an utterly empty building yesterday, wandering the halls with my pad of paper taking stock of the bits and pieces. But my brain was rambling around thinking about what I wanted to accomplish next, where I wanted to put my energies, what I want to do versus what I feel like I need to do to fulfill someone else's expectations for me.
No answers yet, but lots of questions. In the meantime, full speed ahead on several fronts at once. Isn't that pretty much what life is, day to day, anyway?
