Great source. Thank you!

In 4th grade with Miss Bates. She had the skirt with the tule petticoat and all. It was the highlight of her year… not necessarily our year. Around ‘77.

I just used my 5 Calls app to call my senators & congressman to voice my concern & outrage about a deranged POTUS willing to commit genocide. It didn’t take that long & every voice adds strength.

What’s not to love?

I spent that much for a double scoop of gelato at a fancy place at the Americana at Brand in Glendale, Ca. Much fancier than BR. Yikes!

I have a student who will run in between classes to check out his comfort book (Percy Jackson & LT) when he is having a hard day.

Books are comforting & grounding.

Same.

Who's a good boy?
Who deserves a treat?

But was he flipping a coin?

I listened to as many as I could during lockdown. It was very soothing.

Also listened to lots of Oscar Wilde plays. I think my alter ego might be Lady Bracknell.

I used to reread The Chronicles of Narnia when I was home sick, now reread Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next novels. I also like to listen to Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels. I ❤️ Granny Weatherwax & Sam Vimes.

This was one of the first librarian love notes I received!
This student came by to visit (now in college) and told me it's still one of her favorite comfort reads.

Editing my papers was a long process. But it slowed me down and forced me to think things through. Became a better writer from this process.

A friend took me to see it. I knew nothing about it and had zero expectations. I absolutely 💯 LOVED it. Loved everything about it. Can’t wait to see it again!

I hadn’t been to a movie theater in 3 almost 3 years. Went and saw it in IMAX. Totally worth it. ❤️ed it. Am taking a friend to see it next week.

Microfiche, reel to reel, super eight, Thomas Guide, pay phone, called to talk to an operator, and used a manual typewriter all through college.

Twice.

Twice I walked out to put the trash bins on the curb.
Couldn’t figure out why my neighbors didn’t realize it was Thursday yet.

Why isn’t it Thursday?

TL;DR = too long; didn’t read

Oh, I feel your pain.

20 minute lesson on accessing & using the databases. Made them repeat 3xs before they started independent work: Schoology, App center, clever, ProQuest eLibrary, ProQuest eLibrary, then search.

20 students at my desk asking where the databases were.

SMH

SoCal girl here (born & raised), never use the of.

It’s beautiful there. You hit it on such a gorgeous day!

It’s stunning at Christmas time with all the lights.

Riverside?

Comedies: Twelfth Night & Much Ado About Nothing. Tragedy: Hamlet.

Yep. Every time.

Reminds me of the first time I ate coconut cake. Boy did I love all that flaked coconut on the frosting. Boy did I get a fright.

Orwell was so prescient. I remember reading 1984 in high school & thinking, wow he's so pessimistic about humans. Now, in term 2, I realize he was realistic about man's evil tendencies.

All I know is that I'm living, I'm trying to make a difference, but it's so hard to breathe and feel joy.

There’s a person named Eunice?

It is a lot.
