I read Who Thought this was a Good Idea? by Obama’s deputy chief of staff, and she had a bunch of suggestions for managing workload, like having a 3 to do lists: DO RIGHT NOW, do soon and do eventually. I guess that helps prioritize. I like to have file for memos so I can refer to them as needed (I have a drawer for…

I could set it up in a cupboard so it’s out of reach and just plug it when I’m using it. Good idea!

It really did seem more so than other Halloweens. It’s always so much better when it falls on a Friday or Saturday. I made one phone call home, where the mom’s first response was, “So I’ll keep the chocolate out of the lunch bag...” Yes, please!

Coffee + hot chocolate sounds like a very good idea! I use powdered milk when I camp (just put it straight into the coffee, maybe add a little extra water- works great unless you mix it up with the pancake mix, and what a sad moment that is!)

I’ve seen reusable k -pods... but the keurig is now out of bounds due to infestation :( However I think I’ll get a mesh filter and make pour over coffee. It’ll be a quick clean-up, which is important when the bell is going to ring in 2 min ;)

Hey, it worked! I can’t upload, but I can copy-paste.

The baby announcement commission is so sweet!

Things kind of calmed down after Friday morning’s Remembrance Day assembly. My current school can be high energy, but it’s manageable most days.

Also I feel like the potential for insect habitat is something Keurig should address? Is this a regular problem? Ick!

It was a traumatic and sad moment because the coffee was already made. It smelled sooo good, and then I saw the scuttling into the machine and had to pour it out. SO GROSS. I’ve been using the coffee maker every day for a month and a half! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Thank you! Maybe a set up like this is the way to go:

I remember I used to carry some of these around with me in university for caffeine emergencies. Thanks for reminding me of them, I haven’t seen any in a grocery store for years. I assume you’re in the UK? I’ll have to search these up in Canada.

Should I google genital captive bead piercing? Because I’ve never heard of that and I’m intrigued. I’m your opposite- zero piercings, not even ears!

I went through something similar my first year of college. I spent so much time focused on getting there, I hadn’t really thought past the first day of class!

Take that, flat earthers!

Welcome back!

People watching? Lose $20 in quarters somewhere?

I make tea and read a book, or cuddle my bunny rabbit. Individual sports, where you can’t really talk to people, like biking, skiing and kayak paddling are all good too. Sometimes a woman just needs to be alone!

Those starbucks packs are pretty good, too. I still feel safe keeping milk or cream in the fridge. I may never touch the counters again.
