I ended the day with a swing in the playground with Brenna. Then there was the most magnificent thunderstorm and I adored it.

Today was one of the best days I've had in a while. I'm so happy. I feel redundant but I'm happy, and I had forgotten what it was like to actually smile, for real.

I'm done, except I have to go back twice more between now and the end of the month. I said goodbye to a few influential people. Was knocked off my guard by one former teacher, and regained my faith in her.

Today has been quite amazing.
