Random Thoughts, December 2022

A bitmoji cartoon of me, a fair-skinned,
 green-eyed, brunette-with-grey person,
looking thoughtful, in a blue sweater and a
black cap with a blue flower. There is also
a thoughtful emoji in a thought bubble.

Random Thoughts, personal, professional, political, emotional, mental, social, you name it, there's probably a thought about it here.

• I am proud of my kids.

• People need to find something else to do with their lives besides defaming other folks on the internet.

• I wonder if some of those very people will be annoyed at my use of the gender-neutral term "folks" since my blog posts almost always go public instead of friends-only.

• I really adore some of my students this year. All so different, and awesome in their own ways.

• Lizzy is making a birthday card for her sister (Abby was 20 yesterday), as well as giving her three presents and cooking her favorite meal. 

• When Lizzy is invested in something, she does not fool around.

• That reminds me; I need to help Lizzy with her google search terms for a Biology project.

• I was pretty down this fall. And then it rained and I suddenly felt fine. Rain represents normalcy in my area in November and December.

• Had a lovely time yesterday; Dad took the whole fam (except those unable to make it) on a Christmas Cruise and then out to dinner. Lots of masks in evidence, which made me feel safer.

• Pouring down rain, though.

• I did not know that my brother is prone to motion sickness until yesterday.

• Twenty, for crying out loud.

• Not feeling icky anymore, as stated above. But I do still want to hibernate. I mean, fish, berries, honey, sleep. Sounds pretty good, actually. Soy una osa.

• Thank goodness school is out at the end of this week.

• Is it wrong of me to be happy that one of my students isn't going to school on the last day before break, just because I want to sleep in?

• I broke out the socialist snowplow meme again a couple weeks ago. I'll probably need it again in February or so.

• Hoo boy, some of my workmates love their soccer.

• Must put "buy gift wrap" on my to-do list. 

• Must write said to-do list for the week.
