I am too tired to continue being awake today
People keep saying 'you have to make time for yourself'
I'm working to get us out of the red every month
My professional day begins at 7 (though it necessitates arriving a little earlier to prep) and often ends between 5-7. Sometimes later
I make sure the family is fed, then pass out

I think I'm pretty tired of working a minimum of 53 hours a week (not counting preparation time, and since it is attached to multiple jobs, no over time) across working responsibilities, and barely keeping the family's head above water.
And then getting judged by people for money-saving tactics!?!?

Trying to figure out self-talk. I feel like some days I'm a little too tired to fight off the negative gremlin hanging out in my head. Most days I can but I need strategies for when I can't just say:

I personally think that Americans wildly over-cinnamon their apple pies. the prominent flavor of an apple pie should be apple. The acidity of the fruit mixed with too much cinnamon ends up tasting kinda sicky

I feel like when glass is smashed in movies, they never show the people picking glass out of their bodies for hours afterwards.
Like I dropped a jar yesterday, my friends and wife all worked together to clean the kitchen, I took a shower, and I woke up this morning with a piece of glass in my foot!

#D&D is not just creative writing
It's:
- Collaboration
- Improvisation
- Empathy
- Fun in failure
- Strategy
- Math, Science & other academics
- Safety
- Identity
- Adaptable to kids & adults
Between my home games & student games, I see people grow, access emotion, & explore themselves

I gave my level 5 #D&D 3rd-8th grade players the opportunity to strategize against a Lich encounter!
The lesson was, not all encounters end with 0HP
They discussed restricting V/S (grapples/silence/darkness) stealing the component pouch & burning legendary resistances to enable Suggestion
Amazing
