Last Bus Driving Day

My last school bus route today.
Told my kids, introduced their new driver.
I took out my trash, turned in my time card and id badge

As I walked off the lot, I wasn't sure how to feel.

Part of me wanted to leap and shout and celebrate being free of a 40 mile drive and 430 alarms.
Part of me wanted to run back inside, yelling "It's a mistake, I can't go."
Part of me wanted to cry.

It's the first time I've left a job with mixed feelings.


Also of note:
The First Robin of Spring got in our house yesterday.
Mudd and I got it out without the cats mauling it.

Bird in the house=death
Robins=good fortune.
Even my omens are confused.
