Today was too nice. It was the perfect temperature for doing anything. I went to Art-A-Whirl for a ladies day out, we grilled shrimp and ate outside, I cleaned up one of the small gardens, and did some chores. I'm tuckered out, but I don't want to go to sleep because I don't want to … Continue reading May 20: Sunday night blues

May 10: too much
I have too much going on in my brain to focus enough to write anything worth reading, or at least that's how it feels. Everything is heavy. However, I did try a new snack: almond butter granola cups. They were really good and I recommend them wholeheartedly.
April 28: Migraines
I am starting to get migraines. A couple years ago, I had my first migraine. It didn't hurt; it was an ocular migraine, which means that I had my vision disrupted and I felt weird, but that was it. It scared me a lot. I mean, all of a sudden my vision started to look … Continue reading April 28: Migraines
April 26: Packed Schedule!
I love the spring, but I HATE how everyone decides to schedule all the great events in the spring, but also everyone wants to do dentist appointments and doctor appointments and meetings. All the art groups are like SPRING SHOW!! Art-a-Whirl! The debate association has the annual spring meeting. The circus show is coming up! … Continue reading April 26: Packed Schedule!
April 17: It’s Tuesday again.
Today was super busy and it didn't help that my ear was plugged pretty much all day so I couldn't hear out of the right side of my head. This was disadvantageous, considering 9th graders want to talk to me all the time and I can barely hear them when they are all talking anyway, … Continue reading April 17: It’s Tuesday again.
April 16: My ears are inverted or something
My ears are popped or congested or something. I've tried everything: decongestants, irrigation, yawning, swallowing, pulling on it, shaking my head (just ended up dizzy), blowing my nose... all the tricks I know and that the internet knows. As a result, I seem to have lost 75% of my hearing. This is frustrating Annika to … Continue reading April 16: My ears are inverted or something
April 14: Snowmageddon – April edition
It was an old fashioned blizzard! We were dumb enough to run an errand in the early afternoon when it didn't seem that bad. It was. It was really bad. Or at least it got really bad. It wasn't super cold so the snow would bunch up on the windshield wipers so we couldn't see … Continue reading April 14: Snowmageddon – April edition
April 11: Sick again. Snow again. Whatever.
My throat hurts. I'm tired. I am sniffly and stuffy. I'm not in any shape to think straight or write coherently. It's supposed to snow again. Some models are saying a lot. If I wasn't sick feeling, I might be more upbeat about it, but I feel crappy, so I just want to eat deep … Continue reading April 11: Sick again. Snow again. Whatever.
April 8: Super-Sunday Night Blues
Tonight I'm REALLY feeling the Sunday Night Blues bad. I am not even sure why, because I am all ready to go for tomorrow morning and for the next couple days, I'm up to date with grading (which is weird), and I really like everyone at school so I'm not avoiding anything. I haven't been … Continue reading April 8: Super-Sunday Night Blues
April 1: The World Is Getting Me Down
It's Easter and April Fools Day and it was so cold, we still have to wear winter coats and mittens, and last night, a 61-year-old woman was hit by a sheriff's truck in Sacramento during a vigil-turned-protest for Stephon Clark, who was an unarmed black man shot 8 times by police. I try sometimes to … Continue reading April 1: The World Is Getting Me Down
