volunteering but not happy.

 I am going to be going back to the local middle school to work with the kids next week. Masks off on Monday but ti am feeling resistance... 

I had a blue and orange project in the works but I thought...why not do blue and yellow for Ukraine?

I had a whole project worked out but the teacher tells me it is too political for middle school...as if these kids don't know what is going on. ...also...there are Russian kids in the school...while I can understand the russian kids part...I guess I have to squash how I feel about it.

Instead, they want me to come up with a project around the ash tree in Vence that won awards for being old and in the center of things. 500 years old....good for the tree and for Vence but I have not one creative thought in that direction...so I passed saying the art teacher will do a great job with that!

I am volunteering after all. 

volunteering has become a sticky wicket. 

I have to slip and slide to things I want to do and avoid the B.S. they want me to do. They are trying so hard to get me to do an architecture in Nice project that I have no interest in and have stated thus for 6 months or so.
