Necessary hard things. And the parts that were about doing something are done now.
I just kept thinking about cleaning out that classroom, after Lockhart, when he was about to start. And there's something right (in the middle of the horribly wrong) about being the one to sort things out again, you know? Like your cycles of prayers, with beginnings and endings.
Don't move back early for me. (Though if you're working, and you want to pause for tea, I'll come join you. Willing to have things explained to me if you need to sort them in your head, too.)
And I think I'd like time to settle myself before there's anyone else.
I think I'd like Fridays, still, please. There's something about ending the week talking, when everything's still fresh, that helps me. And less likely to be disturbed by other tasks. I'd been thinking about maybe opening the tower up Saturday night, for talking, like Alde and I used to do, about other things than stars, but I'll see how it goes, maybe. If anyone is interested. Or if you've some other idea, do propose.
Septima, well, yes. I got to thinking about the staffing today, and how it's changed over time. And how somehow I've been there longer than half the staff if you discard Binns as an outlier of statistics. Very odd. Not sure what I think of that. Must be much worse for her, somehow.
