No locked cabinets for the weary

YES, this is a good thing! My filing cabinet has been locked, with no hope for a key...and I have pulled and banged and pushed this thing a LOT. Today, my dad came up and pulled on it once, and it opened--then, he pried out the locking mechanism with a pair of pliers. GO DAD!! Since we are going to get everything new in January, the assistant principal basically said to do whatever we had to do to get it. YAAAAY! I am so impressed, and excited to be able to get into the filing cabinet!

I had my last day of teacher orientation today. It was a lonnnnnnng 3 days--8-4, listening to people speak and looking at power points. A lot of it was very informative, but some of it wasn't exactly engaging. Anyway, I am so tired as a result of the past 3 days. I went up to school every day after the orientation; last night, I was there till about 8:30 and tonight till about 7:30. I am TIRED and school hasn't even begun yet!

What I want most in the world is a massage. I wish soooo much that I could afford the $85 for a 90 minute massage, but, alas, I cannot. I have to go till Sept 15 without a paycheck, because of how the pay system works. BUT, then I will have some money...but it sure seems that like money is getting promised awfully quickly!! Anyways, I am in need of some relaxation. Maybe if we had a hammock....

*To explain, my parents actually put in a bid and closed on our house and stuff before I knew anything about it (this was in 11th grade). My conditions, once I was let in on the deal, were that we get a tree for the front yard and a hammock for the back. They said SUUUUURE, we can do that. We got a tree, which my dad regularly threatens to cut down...but, it's still standing, so it counts as following through with the bargain. However.............NO HAMMOCK! I think it's clear who is getting the shaft in this arrangement!
