I should have expected that I wouldn't get much sleep last night. What I want to know, though, is why I'd become so preoccupied with thoughts of teaching -- including a nightmare where I somehow wound up teaching at the private school that fucked me up so much when I was younger -- when clearly I'm so nervous right now about seeing Penny again?
Anyway, Penny is packing up now, and I'm going to take care of all of my early-morning rituals here and then try to hit the Toledo Botanical Garden early just so I'm there early and I don't have to worry about Penny showing up before I get there. I'll use the extra time I have there (if any) to shoot some photos for the .org; I tried to talk Penny into letting me take some photos of her, but she never gave me a response. Whatever the case, at least now I'll finally have some new photos to put up here after over eighteen months of not updating my photo site.
Everything is in place: my camera has fresh batteries, Penny's present is wrapped up, and before I leave here I'll pack a cooler full of ice so that the water I promised Penny on her way up here is ice-cold. Now to see if I can actually get some other stuff done while my head swims with thoughts of Penny. Wish me luck.
