Monday, January 9, 2023 I was off to elementary school to be the media specialist today. I went to an elementary school I have never been to – I had to listen to the map lady tell me how to get there. I have been through the intersection two blocks away many times, having no […]

Sunday, January 8, 2022 Our final glass projects were colored glasses. There were four mixed colored frit (small ground glass) choices and we ended up with one of each, because I had time to do two glasses. Keith’s is on the left, mine are in the middle, and Alexander’s is on the right. Each of

Saturday, January 7, 2022 Things I was thinking about today: Drivers! C’mon. Follow the rules of the road. If you screw up, it doesn’t mean you can just drive where you aren’t supposed to and make it dangerous for everyone else. Seriously. We almost got taken out by people traveling on the wrong side of
Friday, January 6, 2023 I was back at Woodbury Middle School, subbing for 7th grade science. This teacher is ultra-organized and always has a wonderful plan for me when I am there.

Tuesday, January 3, 2023 Today is my brother-in-law’s birthday, and it was my dad’s birthday. I am thinking good thoughts about both of them. I worked a long day (with no students), handing over all the information to the new guy. He seems like a good guy. It was gratifying that three teachers I like

Monday, January 2, 2023 Yep, I typed 2022 and backspaced. I have been confused about this year the whole year. What year is it? I kept thinking it might already be 2023 half of the time, because people (and me) kept talking about plans for 2023. Or my brain is spongey and that is that.
Sunday, January 1, 2022 We decided to stay an extra day because the previously forecast weather has decided to delay itself and we think we can get home tomorrow without being in a blizzard. Why I actually believe the weather forecast is an entire mystery. We went to Donna and Michael’s house. They are babysitting
