If you were here...

I'd invite you over for dinner. I'm starting Monday night pizza this year. Monday's are hard, so having the social activity then seems important. And I'm excited that we have better community among teachers in my program and my town this year. I mean, the third years are already more familar to the first years than they were to me last year. (I realize this paragraph is grammatically awkward in ways that would be clearer if I'd just use locations/acronyms/whatever. Too bad.)

I'd have you play in the rain with me. I've been back for 4 weeks and this was only the second precipitation I can remember. The first was a hail storm in the middle of the night.

I'd ask you for a hug. Just because it's already that wearing some days. Not sure where I'm finding my motivation. And that's problematic.

And then I'd bid you goodnight. Because it's nearly midnight and I have a full day of school tomorrow. Eeep.

You got woken up. That means you were sleeping. All good things.
