It’s November 1st, and blogging every day is a thing people do in November.
Shall I attempt it this year?
I do not yet know.
Today was a pretty good day. I used the students-finishing-Coco time really productively and got most of my Spanish 1B free reading materials prepped. Last year was the first year I did it, so I could use the same materials for 1A and 1B, but this year I needed something new for my 1B class and I spent several hours today getting that all ready. I am so pleased it’s almost done!
I was at aftercare to pick up my son by 4:15pm, but he wanted to stay later so I went home and worked out while watching the final 30 minutes of Stranger Things Season 2 with my daughter (I’ve already seen it so I was able to keep one Air Pod in and follow an exercise video while we watched). I was VERY pleased to use that weird 45 minutes so wisely, and was also excited that my son wanted to stay at after care (they were building a LEGO town and he’s been watching LEGO Masters so he wanted to stay and participate).
I got dinner going while I ran back to school to pick up my son, so it was ready when he got home. The kids watched some TV while I showered, and then my son took a bath while my daughter and I listened to our book (currently Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime). It really was an incredibly productive use of after work hours.
And now I should get a little prep done for work tomorrow.
Happy Day of the Dead tomorrow. I know I’ll be talking a few moments to remember those who are no longer with us. Maybe you can too.
Last night your site said it was not available due to some error thing. GLAD TODAY YOU ARE UP AND BACK.
Super glad you got so much done yesterday in odd spots of time and that your son was so very into the lego project.
Hoping November becomes an easier month than October was for you.
Cheers!
That is so weird. I didn’t see that on my end, but I did notice that my post didn’t got to my reader (I subscribe to my own blog to make sure there are no issues), and it’s there now. I wonder what was going on…
I just couldn’t on day of the dead this year. It’s a weird spot to be a newish widow….and have a boyfriend. Don’t misunderstand- he’d get it, he’s also widowed it’s what brought us together, but at the same time….it didn’t feel right. And, that’s probably because I’m so happy in my new relationship. I’ve talked to my late husband a lot, but couldn’t pull it off yesterday. I’m sure there’s some deep psychological reason for that, but for the moment I’m just being. Or, it could be that I’ve been through so many emotions lately- my late husband’s birthday (the first without him, then my birthday, and days before those events the day both my mom and grandfather died, it’s just been…a lot.
Of course. You need to do what you need to do. Always.
