Saturday, May 6, 2023 Happy King Charles III Coronation day! I went to bed just before 10:30 last night, which is a solid hour or more before I usually go to bed, and set my alarm for 3:55am, which is almost exactly two hours before I usually get up. I figured it wouldn’t be hard […]
Friday, May 5, 2023 I was invited to come for snacks to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by the principal this morning. I was delighted. I have been subbing for my favorite math teacher as she recovers from surgery. I subbed for her a few days earlier in the month, then started a week ago doing
Thursday, May 4, 2023 I wore my Baby Yoda shirt today in honor of Star Wars day. All of the kids I saw wearing Star Wars shirts came up to me and said, “May the Fourth be with you,” which I thought was wonderful. I was a huge fan of the original Star Wars. Huge

Wednesday, May 3, 2023 Remember when I was out with a broom, brushing heaps of snow off the crabapple tree? I may have saved some lower branches, but one of the upper ones did break. We didn’t even see it at first, but it was definitely broken. Keith hasn’t had good enough use of his
Tuesday, May 2, 2023 Remember when you couldn’t buy toilet paper because everyone already bought it all? That was weird, wasn’t it? This is not about that, but it sure was weird, so I mentioned it.

Saturday, April 29, 2023 Oh, my goodness, it is my gramma’s birthday. I didn’t realize the date until I just typed the date. She was born 125 years ago and her name was Hazel Maud – named for her father’s two best horses (or so her story went). Happy birthday, Gramma! We had Rocky Rococo

Friday, April 28, 2023 We are off to Madison tonight because my cousin, Sam, wrote a play and we want to go to see it. We coordinated the timing so we can go to friends’ big band concert on the way home on Sunday. Today was such a good day at school (same school!) and
Thursday, April 27, 2023 ***Disclaimer*** This is just a big bit of whining about school today. You can skip it. About a month ago, I picked up a lang arts/critical thinking sub job. Tomorrow I start nine days at the same school for the math teacher I love subbing for, and I thought if I
