How weirdly grown up

I'm sitting here in a science classroom, with test tubes and text books and emergency eye wash stations. And this room belongs to Christopher! And on Tuesday he'll have students!

It's still sinking in that this is really happening. Sometimes I forget; I notice job search sites or pass by a high school and immediately I feel sad about Chris's teaching-jobless state. And then I stop and realise that he does have a teaching position. And it's a good one!

Sometimes you get so used to uncertainty that you don't know how to handle certainty.
