Glad to see your words again!

And 2 Darci/ys on one page….very odd.

Sick as I may be, I think it was the euphoria of getting new school supplies…New backback, new lunchbox, a new stack of notebook paper, a bottle of rubber cement, and a Five-Star notebook…I guess it was one of the few times to get new stuff.

It’s funny, when I would see those back-to-school signs, I think my reaction was less sadness for the end of vacation and more tummy flips of anxiety for the season of new (new teachers, new classes, new schedules and routines) ahead. I’m so glad you’re posting again. :)
