All the Anastasia books by Lois Lowry. I wanted to be her. To write, to have a bedroom in a turret, to be that free to imagine and explore who I was. Anastasia was magic. And Pippi Longstocking, the ultimate individual.

2 out of 3 for me. They focused, took in the information, and were ready to respond with what they learned. The other one...well, it's amazing how three or four can change the production of 30. Still, an overall win and I wasn't super stressed. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

And my students know it.

This should not be allowed to happen. If he broke the law or committed acts unbecoming, it should absolutely become public record. That's why we're in this nonsense now!! Rich, white, entitled men must be held accountable.

They caught mine before I got there: falling asleep standing up and teaching, drowsing while driving, and generally putting my life at risk. No idea what it was since my previous sleep study showed nothing. Thank God for referrals and revisits. I wouldn't be here otherwise. Thankful that you are.
