Somewhere between Izamal and Sudzal, Yucatan.

On a roll

Had a very busy week, replaced one of my teachers who was not well and gave 7 classes on Wednesday. I had 9 on my schedule but decided to postpone the last two... a wise move. I did a nice little Orff orchestration with a couple of Grade 4 classes on that day, and they were brilliant. I love to see them pulling together and make music, it's pure joy for all of us.

My schedule is filled solid until my departure on April 28, so the trip will be a refreshing hiatus from work. It's good to have that candy dangling ahead of me. Keeps me focused, with just the right dose of day dreaming. It will be a 12 day journey, and that's the most difficult part for me. It will be hard to do everything I would like to do... that means difficult choices. I'm not the type of traveler to rush from one place to another, I like to drop the anchor and settle in as much as possible. Fill the dresser and put my empty suitcase in the storage room. But it won't be that kind of trip this time around. Still... it will be deeply soothing to be in Yucatan, as usual.

This weekend will be all about income tax. I have an appointment with my new accountant on Tuesday, and it has to be all sorted and ready. Oddly, I am very much looking forward to it - not the sorting part... but the meeting. It will hopefully clarify a few things and help me settle the plans for the next few years. It's easier to have fun when you know you're on solid grounds!

In the meantime spring is growing stronger here in Toronto, and I like it!
