A Large Box

A large box arrived for Mark today from his new company.  In it, org charts, process manuals and other stuff that engineering directors need to know.  Lots of numbers, which makes Mark very happy.  Seems he's beginning to work at his new job already.  He had his last Friday lunch at the Corner Pug yesterday...you know you're a good customer when the bartender and the owner get misty-eyed at the news that you're leaving!  They are good folks down at the pug and they've taken good care of Mark over the years.  You know, the place where everybody knows your name...

I went out with friends from school yesterday (our off-site meeting).  Sitting around the big table outside in the Hartford Road Cafe with 20 of the people I've worked so hard with over the past 4 years just made me feel so good.  These are really hard-working, dedicated, loving people who give their hearts and lives to the kids they teach and to each other.  Odyssey is a family, we've always said that.  They are being really supportive of me during this time, and that means so much.  And it's always good to laugh that hard on a Friday (looking at potential Match.com dates on someone's phone...yikes!)

So, today we're going to RI to see my sister and her husband for a few hours then back here to tidy up before the realtor comes tomorrow to talk with us about selling the condo. 

I figured out how to put a picture on the blog, yay!  After I tell the Odyssey parents on Thursday at the parent meeting that I'm leaving I'll link the blog to my facebook page.
