currently (june)

I've finally joined in with Farley's Currently linky! I used PowerPoint for the first time in forever to make this, so let's see if I managed to do this correctly.


My summer job is coaching for a year-round swim team. Not a normal "summer job," since they practice all year, but it's the team I grew up swimming for so they're generous and let me help out. I coach morning practice for one of the older groups, since their normal coach has to work. They're middle-school-aged, which is a nice break from all the little people. The downside is that I still have to get up early during the summer, and I get off of work from evening practice pretty late.

I'm also trying to swim (again.) I think I have said this at least every few months after I got past the first year post-swimming. It's hard to get back into it without a team, though, and one masters group I tried was a really bad fit. Plus, there are a lot of emotional . . . things tied to swimming for me, after swimming so long at such a high level and then stopping. Ho hum.

As for the wish/went/want . . . I want to go to Europe so badly! I think that may happen next summer, though. Maybe. We'll see. Savannah was a quick trip with the ex-roomies. And want . . . a road-trip I probably won't take (Greenville) and visiting family (San Diego.)

    1. Very true! I only got five and a half hours last night, though, so I really did need sleep when I wrote that. Also, I followed you back!

  2. I used to lifeguard and have to lifeguard during swim meets. I always thought it was crazy because they could definitely swim better than me. I want to travel around Europe too! Hope your wish comes true

    1. I used to lifeguard, too! Well, I guess technically I still am one since I keep my certification current. I swam all through school and during college, but went cold-turkey for about a year when I retired.

      I checked out your blog; I'm always stoked to find other special ed teachers who blog!
