Caught a fair wind

ceitfiannaToday was a really good day and one that I realized I needed. Yesterday I felt like a zombie thanks to how long Back to School night was, I wasn't the only one either, but long day.
The good started with getting to the school not terribly early but early and having time to make tea. I had left my mug in the library yesterday, which meant that this morning my tea was a lipton bag with hot water from a coffee maker. Now this isn't bad, but my norm is proper boiling water and a nicer tea bag but still it was tea.
Then the library was quiet, there were kids but everyone was just being comfortable. I think they've been listening to me in terms of being respectful of who else is in the library. I took advantage of this quiet to put together a possible schedule for all the school emergency drills as this is apparently my job, then filled out rental applications. I know the one I want and that's the one I'm going to turn in after work tomorrow. Then I hope so very much that the turn around will be quick and I could actually move in by October 1st.
Now the big wonderful part of today was talking to this library designer/consultant person that the library consultant the school had talked to before hiring me recommended. This meeting was full of hearing one of the school heads saying we want a plan and images to pitch to donors. Also he liked my ideas and clearly approved of how I was thinking of the space. It was this great moment of yes, change is going to happen and I will be a major force in it, I think more of a force than the school even realizes. The other fun thing was there's this one student who has really reached out to me and as I was on the way to the meeting asked for my help with some research. We ended up not crossing paths until the end of the day today, but I'm going to help him and I hope other people start to see that I can do that. It just feels possible.
I know a lot of you are having hard times at the moment and I hope that the winds change for you.
I also adore the tropes' meme and plan on making the amnesiac Charles/Erik story into something bigger. Please keep prompting me over there as I've discovered that I do like the idea of writing Jane Austen fanfic as opposed to just Becoming Jane fic. This could be dangerous.
