Starting next week, Unicorn School will be providing childcare and education four days per week. It's also, like, right before I'm going off the farm for a week. I wonder if this will be a problem. I wonder how many of the kids are going off the farm for Thanksgiving. I wonder how many of the childcare providers/teachers will be going off the farm. I guess I should find out.

Keegan and I are heading to the DC area for Thanksgiving, probably for a week or so. I wish it weren't a holiday season-- all my friends in the area will be busy with family stuff. I've been feeling sort of isolated from family/friends lately-- it's hard to keep in touch down here. My phone doesn't work well, I'm on the computer a lot less, and I just have less free time. The internet is also way slow. It's so easy to get caught up in the things happening here and forget that I should keep up with folks in DC and other places. I wish that my time off the farm could include more time with those people. Oh well. I'll just have to take a vacation some other time, I guess. I really want to head up to Boston to see Matt. I wish Elizabeth weren't so far away. Sigh.

I filled out forms today about the Unicorn School budgets for next year. I'm asking for money. I feel like I have an important job. I also feel like I'm not really sure what I'm doing. Well, no one else has a better idea, I think, so I'm just going to plow on ahead.

In other news, the preteen I've been working with (should I be coming up with code names for these kids?) is having his birthday party on the 18th and I volunteered to DJ it. I'm working on my music collection as I write. DJing feels like a big responsibility-- the fate of the party is in my hands! If I play crappy music, no one will be dancing!
