It took months and hundreds of postponements before this meet-up came through. And when it did, it was magical.
If only two more (Ms. Yay and Ms. Ciel now both live abroad) made it, it would have been short of miraculous.
Meet-ups used to be often because we were all colleagues in a university, where students addressed us Ms., and where we each taught different subjects.
But Ms. Caroline moved to another university, Ms. Ayet and Ms. Rose opted to teach online, and I was left alone teaching one subject F2F once a week. To say it is was difficult to have the same free time is an understatement.
So how did this finally happen? Health break.
Schools and local governments have declared a week-long holiday because of the outbreak of a flu-like virus (cough and colds) that is highly infectious, with dangers of leading to serious complications.
And so we created our own definition of health break: have a rare bonding time, reminiscing about the good old days. The laughter, food, and unhurried non-work hours did wonders for our health.
It was magical!
