It's been a rough few months, but a wonderful highlight is my kiddo. He had prom last weekend. Tomorrow is his last day of high school. 😭 He turns 18 on Mother's Day this year. He's got a 4.0 for his senior year. I'm beyond proud. I love my Cricketbug.

It's been a weird few weeks. Normally, I dislike missing this much school due to snow. This time? Loved it. I really needed the extra time to recover emotionally from the last few months. That'll likely be a different post. In the meantime, enjoy my local forecast for the next week. I'm excited.

Dixie Lou: She's coming up on 12 this spring.
She sounds like Carol Channing when she meows.
She's at least half-deaf and has horrible breath.
BUT:
She's still hoity-toity and thinks she's better than everyone else. Can't you tell? 😸

Practicing some self-care today during my planning period. So glad the weather is nice today. A little Vitamin D and escapism FTW!

Once upon a time, if I needed to cry, or felt the urge, it was usually accompanied by the desire to curl up in a ball in a small space somewhere - like a little safe spot.
At this point, I can teach a full class period with tears rolling down my face, if need be. (1/2)

4 years ago: I was thrilled to be getting the first dose. I've kept up with it, too, just like my flu shot. Thankfully, I've only tested positive twice since this all started 5 years ago. Pretty damn good for someone surrounded by teens all day - esp. entitled rich ones.

Colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra out there. See?

I don't ever recall seeing this photo of #StevieNicks before. I love it. 😍

Two weeks just isn't enough time to recover from the fall semester. Scout agrees. He's very sad that I have Professional Development today.

Early to mid 1980s, Spring River near Hardy, Arkansas, USA. My first fishing trip with my Paw Jim. I was hooked on catching "red bellies" after that. 🪝 I was so proud of my catch. You couldn't tell me nothin' the rest of the day. 😆 I'm grateful for the good memories that help balance the bad.
