I ate 4 chocolate chip cookies + chips and onion dip for dinner. In that order.
Was it a good decision? No. Will I try to do better tomorrow? I have good intentions.
How am I like this after only 14 days of school? These are end of term shenanigans.

I’m a type A teacher and today all my lesson plans fell apart. It felt terrible, but the kids were patient and made me laugh. And because I’ve been doing this a *long* time I was able to pivot (yuck). I think I modelled that well for the students. Happy to be home eating chocolate chip cookies now.

This morning, my apple watch recorded 70 min of exercise. I didn’t do any exercise. I was sitting at my desk or walking around my classroom. I didn’t feel anxious and I don’t think my heart was racing. Curious.

A huge thank you to everyone who offered suggestions and help with the engraving machine. I have passed the information along to my colleague and her dad and they are thrilled (and working their way through the suggestions and offers of help).

I work with a woman whose DAD owns an engraving machine. It no longer works because it runs on Windows 98, but he would like to get it working again. By any chance is there someone on here who might be willing to connect with him about whether this is possible and what to do? Hit me up if it’s you, or please boost, if you don’t mind. Thanks Mastodon!

My friend Dave Comden (who lives in southern Alberta) did some travelling around the world and then he recorded an album. It’s folky with beautiful lyrics. You can listen to it here.
