It's freaking December and it's so hot that I'm complaining, and I usually love warmth, but this is insane... it should be raining and freaking cold!
Hate Global Warming and the changes it has brought....
Plus, I'm cranky because it seems there will be blackouts still.

This baby is Luna.
She's jealous, clingy, and intense. She will jump onto my shoulders if I'm not paying her enough attention or being a comfortable enough bed for her (aka working).
Now she seems to think it's enough to sleep by my side.

My mom is deaf, she lost about 70% of her hearing a few years ago to a brain thingy... she has always wanted to sing and she'll be starting lessons this January.
I'm so proud of her 😊

Playing with my llamas again!
I'm going to add some of them to the pre-Christmas sale, let's see how they fare then...

Como sociedad, matamos la curiosidad en los niños, las ganas de experimentar y de explorar el mundo...
Y cualquiera que enseñe te lo va a confirmar, es un mundo distinto trabajar con adolescentes que con niños, y más aún si vienen de entornos más pobres.
Digo porque tengo 1 alumno de 9 y 12 de 18+

Students should study the humanities not because it makes them better workers but because it rips you open and breaks your brain and changes everything you thought you knew. I *promise* you this. I *promise* it has this ability, no matter how smart you think you are. I have seen it countless times.

Yesterday I got scissors for cutting hair because I want to start cutting my own hair... It's not that the experience is excruciating itself, it's the part where I hardly ever get the haircut I want.
Today I tried it after the power came back and I was successful! I got the haircut I wanted! Yay!

A couple or years ago my mom got me a present, suit pants, so I could go to the office... but she got it on a bigger size.
Today I finally can use them! Yay! I didn't like to be so skinny, so this is a celebratory moment for me.

Crocheting my anxiety away... I'm not really getting to be productive as in work stuff, but at least I'm trying to do something about this dark shroud.

But I got a new contract, I'll be giving English classes in an institute an hour away from my place (not thrilled about the commute but thrilled about having more work!)
It's been a complex year… a lot of changes for me... but I'm getting better (healthwise) and feeling more hopeful for next year!

*December deadlines after thanksgiving break

I've been thinking I want one of those elastic fabrics to wrap my cat around me, not because I want to have her over me all the time... but she's CLINGY and JEALOUS, she hates me doing work at home and wants to be in the middle of everything… so, I'm thinking that may be the way.

Son dos días que encontré ese ejercicio y sigo rumiando esa idea...
Transporte gratuito, funciona, tendría que ser público y se necesita un sistema de registro porque eso ayuda a recoger información sobre los usuarios y rutas, y francamente, nos ahorraría el lío de las mafias de los transportistas.

En el libro de inglés de mis alumnos sale un ejercicio y menciona que el momento que en esa ciudad el transporte se volvió gratuito para todos mejoraron un millón de cosas.
Me quedé pensando, cómo haces funcionar eso? Bueno, primero no te sirve el sector privado, pero hay cómo.
Sería maravilloso.

Hoy tengo la venta (de garage) de mis cuadros, ojalá venga gente... esto es la obra de 10 años. Ojalá me ayuden a liberar espacio (para pintar más) y conseguir fondos (para un curso que quiero hacer)
Si estas en Quito, Ecuador y te interesa, comenta para pasarte la dirección.

Mi madre me ha dejado a cargo de revisar cuando están las arvejas listas para que las apague...
He decidido poner el timer que suene cada 10 minutos porque sé que me despisto y se van a quedar sin agua. Mi atención dispersa aflora en la cocina.

Let me introduce you to Idris, this little lady is quite grumpy, she chooses when to get close but you better not move or she won't come back for some time.
She's going g to be 9 years old soon.

Gotta admit I'm not very good at social media...
But I'm going to try again here, let's see how this adventure goes! ☆☆☆
