Last year I changed that to if I hadn't used it in the last two years. That has worked very well for me.Karunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11695443841134675309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190960057302441902.post-24731015725003658512016-11-21T21:38:34.109-08:002016-11-21T21:38:34.109-08:00It's so hard.

All signs are good that it will work out -- I put a deposit down with the movers today, and now I just have to get busy, day by day, and get everything together. It's exhausting to think about, but I know I can do it!Elise Ann Wormuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11079210360987768732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190960057302441902.post-9124659297800069322016-11-21T21:10:24.192-08:002016-11-21T21:10:24.192-08:00You're moving?

And books are another issue, although I am nowhere near your collection. I did keep the first American Literature text I taught from in the mid-60's. It wasn't new then, either. When my youngest teacher became a high school teacher in 2002, I passed on some of my teaching materials to her; she retired two years ago and finally got rid of them. Sometimes, I just want a stranger to come in and take care of it, because I just don't have what it takes. Evelyn S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02139868988311962712noreply@blogger.com
