I'm not really sure about my titles for this anymore. I did this as a year challenge, and I succeeded, so now I'm not sure if I need to add the year to the title dates or what. I don't want to add the years, so I won't, but how to keep the days separate? … Continue reading January 3: titles?

January 2: Being Sick Sucks
The title says it all. I haven't had a real virus yet this school year until now, and I had completely forgotten how much it sucks trying to teach while you're sick: everything is more annoying, the terrible fluorescent lights hurt, my patience is short, it's hard to speak loud enough to be heard over … Continue reading January 2: Being Sick Sucks
January 1: 2019? Okay.
I didn't decide what to do for my new year challenge. I didn't really decide anything. I still have a cold that has sort of held on and made my whole day tired and slower than usual. So 2019 started with a lack of motivation and energy. I did a lot less than I wanted … Continue reading January 1: 2019? Okay.
December 31: Peace
We are in the middle of our annual Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie marathon on New Years Eve - it's part of the tradition we accidentally stumbled upon quite a few years ago. We have a smorgasbörd with smoked fish, fancy cheese, bread, fruits, veggies, and treats and watch MST3K. The first year we did … Continue reading December 31: Peace
December 30: Next Year’s Resolution?
Last year I decided I was going to try to write every day for a full year. I honestly don't even remember the decision-making process, if there was one. There probably wasn't. It was probably pretty spur-of-the-moment, like pretty much most of my life. I think I had a lot on my mind, given I … Continue reading December 30: Next Year’s Resolution?
December 29: Chat Pack for Kids
Annika got a "Chat Pack for Kids" in her stocking. It's basically a box with a bunch of cards with questions to ponder. She's been asking me questions for about an hour now. She loves to ask questions and answer them too, so it was a great gift. Right now she is asking about what … Continue reading December 29: Chat Pack for Kids
December 28: yep, I’m sick
I finally got what I think is my first virus of the 18-19 school year. Usually I get it in September and by now I'm onto my second cold, but this autumn was unusually healthy in the virus department. I picked it up from Anders, who came down with it on Christmas. Dak said he … Continue reading December 28: yep, I’m sick
December 27: getting sick?
Today is Dak's birthday and I feel so bad I haven't been able to celebrate much because I've been super sick with something. My guts hurt so bad I thought I might have to go to the hospital, and tonight my throat is starting to hurt. Anders had a virus, so I'm may be coming … Continue reading December 27: getting sick?
December 26: almost forgot
I almost forgot to write today! I was almost asleep, then boom: go write! So here I am. There is a virus sweeping into our house and I've been trying to keep clean and safe from it. I've fallen asleep four times since I started writing this. It's after midnight and I'm exhausted. Thanks for … Continue reading December 26: almost forgot
December 25: Merry
I wish I had some sort of warm, deep Christmas message today, but I'm afraid I'm pretty bland. I seem to be developing a cold and Anders definitely has a virus. We both slept much of the way up to Bemidji, where we had a lovely Christmas dinner with family. They played a rousing game … Continue reading December 25: Merry
