Every time that I go to our local waste dump, a sign on the gates makes me smile. I know what they mean but…

If you can’t dump waste at the Waste Dump, then what is the point of it 😂😂😂😂😂

So Hawklad hits the last week of final school exams. 6 in 5 days. Then as Alice Cooper puts it

SCHOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER

SCHOOL’S OUT FOR EVER….

It’s kind of such an unnerving thought. After about 3-30 on Friday, that’s it for Secondary School. After the world changed, so often I thought just in terms of the period covering mainstream schooling. Plans kinda didn’t go past this School. Plans didn’t go past 3-30 on Friday. Everything seemed so far in the future. Where did that TIME go.

So I guess it’s planning time again. Try to give Hawklad the best summer possible. See where the exams results leave Hawklad and then help him get on the next path which he wants to follow. Currently he would love to do college, focus on History. That particular Plan is very dependent on his exam results.

I also need to think about his Muppet Dad as well. Where does Hawklad’s next path leave me… Is it more of the same or new doors. That definitely sounds like a TWO COFFEE problem to sort out. Just need to get Hawklad through this last school week….

  3. Hopefully better support at college. I hear college supports better. All the best to Hawklad and you Gary. Don’t forget to give yourself a pat on the back for supporting Hawklad with his schoolwork. Where as the school..

  9. I’m sipping coffee beside you, wondering about time, feeling happiness about “history” possibilities for Hawklad, knowing the strength you’ve garnered and the kindness you give will return back to you, a new phase from when your world stopped. You’re still finding laughs (don’t dump waste at the waste dump ~that made me giggle a bunch!). Here’s to a new chapter in a beautiful book. 💛🙏🏻

  10. Public signposts are always worth a laugh. I can imagine this year as being quite a crossroad for you and Hawklad with so many changes and decisions. You have been such a strong team together through these 3 years and I know you will find the right path forward. I wish you both the very best. You deserve it!

  11. So many things to think about and to plan. Then again, a lot of it is beyond our gates for now. When the exams are out of the way, there’ll be time to look beyond the gates and ponder the curve of the land.

  13. Just a head’s up. IF Hawklad’s scores are not good enough for immediate entry t,o college, remind him he can get there in a couple years as a mature student. I know he loves history, so don’t let him think he can never get there. He just may have to wait a bit.

  15. Wait! What? He is graduating (in America we call it) High School? He is ready for college? Wow. I feel like I missed the fact that he was that age! Congratulations to you both for getting this far!
