Hooky
I’m kind of playing hooky today.
When I called to make a Dr. appointment for last Friday, there was nothing available, so I asked my boss if he minded if I scheduled it for today…knowing full well it was an institute day.
I am no fool.

So (and, here’s where the hooky comes in), when I was told they couldn’t see me until 3:40, I just couldn’t bring myself to say, “Never mind. I can make it to work on Friday. I certainly wouldn’t want to pass up the opportunity to re-write the reading curriculum. Again.”
So I didn’t. I stayed up late (er) last night, reading for fun. Got up at the crack of dawn anyway, caught up on Medium, putzed around the house, took a long walk with the pooch.
It was a lovely morning.
And, now I’m considering a short nap before I get ready to go.
So, wish me luck at the doctor. I certainly can’t ask for a less stressful build- up!
