Good morning from this side of the planet
. It's 11 AM and I am done with the morning chores and now will take a bit of break here with mylotting for a while
.
It's the first day of summer vacation here and the school will reopen from first week of June for a new academic year. Well, class 10, 11and 12 have already started with their new academic year and their summer vacation is cut short by five weeks. They will have school till third week of April. These are three crucial years of school education in India as it's board exam years and also preparing for their future University. Subject teachers associated with these classes get a shorter summer vacation, but they are handsomely compensated for the extra month that they work.
I am not associated with these classes in any way except for being a counselor. So, no more school for me till June
.
Nothing much planned for the summer vacation as my daughters don't have their holidays till June.
So, a family vacation is totally out of question. We might go for some weekend gateways if possible. I might have to take a week break in the new academic year when my daughters have their semester break if we plan for some travel. Nothing concrete yet, we have few destinations in mind. Let's see what is in store
.
And since no one else has holidays with me, I will have house to myself on weekdays except for the day when my husband would work from home
. That's a luxury!!!
I want to start my vacation being a bit lazy and slow till this weekend. I will get back to being productive from next week.
My therapy sessions continue in the afternoon. So, that would keep me busy for few hours each day.
That's all for the blabbering. Now, that the vacation is here, you might see me active here at odd morning hours. I will have to wake up to cook and pack for my younger daughter. And that's good because I can finish more stuffs in the morning and spend the day in other things.
Hope that all is well in your myLot corner.
Stay happy and healthy.

@arunima25 I agree, some of them are nicer than we would ever think them to be. I'm glad your youngest daughter is a sweet young woman.

Today was the first day and I slept till she left. I told her the previous night that I want to watch a movie and stay up late. She happily cooked and packed and left. In fact she made some extra breakfast for us too. She is an angel. You know how innocent and empathetic these autistic youths are. They are gems.

Thank you. I am staying lazy till this weekend. I deserve that after being so busy in the last few weeks with so much to take care of before the semester end.

A lot... have picked up three books to read, few artwork orders to complete. Maybe some creative writing. And I might conduct two summer camps, I am getting queries for that.

Thank you. I am hoping for the same. Life is busy and that's a blessing. I have few plans and I will work for that. Let's see how much I am able to complete.
