So far so good - touch wood! I’m using the
free mornings to do some part time language
teaching. I work with a non-profit co in PA
(we’re in WA) that offers online language instruction
to PA public school
kids. So 3 days/wk I get up
at 4:50am, throw on some
clothes & wander down the
40 ft of hallway to my office
(Shortest. Commute. Ever.)
where I don headsets & mic
& class begins (time difference
means their 1st period
class is 5:10am for me). I
teach 2 classes before 7am &
then kids go off to school &
I return home to teach a 3rd
section of Russian 1A. I’m
looooving it! I get to work
in a field that I love & be a
stay-at-home mom! I recently
got an email about the 12
WOSA reunion, to be held in
Seattle- yay! It’d be very cool
if anyone wants to make that
one. I can provide free digs in our humble
guest room (albeit we’re about an hr away
in Olympia, but still...) Anyway, something
to look forward to!—Mohanna
