Happy first day of school, everyone!
There’s something so hopeful about the beginning of September for me. So much possibility just hanging in the air… my husband works on-call with one of the local school boards, so it was an immense relief for him to get called into a classroom on the very first day, less than 15 minutes after the dispatch line opened for the day. Hooray to work starting up again for him!
It also means for me, as a freelancer, that the sleepy hiatus of summer, when most of my potential clients were probably away from their desks, is over. I really hope that as the month goes by, business picks up.
I decided to celebrate by drinking Demain, a tea that it took me a while to come to grips with, but which I now appreciate for its delicate flavour. Unfortunately, it’s still not foolproof, as I only steeped the leaf for 2 minutes rather than 3. The flavour was a bit washed-out this time.
Ah well. September! School! Renewal! Possibilities!
