A colleague brought me this carton of chocolate milk. It had Mandolorian and Grogu on it
They said student didn't want milk and thought I would because of Star Wars. I replied, "I've got a bad feeling about this."
She thought that I thought it was a prank. The Force is weak here. #AutisticTeacher

A Magic card survived as did the owners. But not much else is left at Main Street Comics and Games in Marshall, NC. Photos take 46 days after Hurricane #Helene.
Shirts and GoFundMe available to help rebuild. Place was a place of refuge for many in Madison County. Links in next message.

Trying to take 8 yr old foster son to his first MLB game and my first Wrigley game.
Turns out, I took his to his first rain delay.
At least the Reds aren't losing. But biy did I want to see Hunter Greene pitch.

Today is going to be a tough day, because of teaching and because of personal things going on. My school will most likely make it worse.
However, I do have nature to comfort and show perspective. Morning view from my back deck.

Today is a teacher work day for me. It is also a snow day for the foster kids, with the older one in recovery from surgery.
Here's to a day of trying to love with joy in the moment and not stress about what I don't get done.
