Happy Birthday, lucky birthday girl!

thanks!

Thanks!

I finally came to accept that teaching will expand to fill as many hours as I let it. The work is never done, something can always be done better, or more. Especially the first 4 years, it was my life 24/7. I can’t imagine just how busy you must be with a second job and coursework on top of that.

There’s guy at my last school who would steal our stuff. Seriously, he would just go into people’s classrooms and help himself to supplies or books. He was THE WORST on field trips too, like having another kid.

I bought myself sunflowers this week, but I also like to treat myself to something to read and a nice coffee in a shop with a window seat.

Good early date venue! Lots to talk about, so conversation is a little easier.

Just be careful. I took a sleeping pill while I was travelling by train, and blacked out for 3 hours. I thought, “that pill didn’t work,” glanced at my watch and saw it was 3hours later than it had been a moment before. As far I know, the strangers around me were trustworthy and decent people. Use something familiar…

Oh god. I’m so glad you found the perfect block.

I like the label!

You start your Oktoberfest early- I like the cut of your jib.

I read that as “doggy” airline for a moment- different set of problems.

I loved it! I signed up for classes for sept. Apparently there’s somewhere to swing dance every night in my area. Did you find a meetup?

I love Halloween, but I’d like to register a protest about the decorations already being up in stores!

So Mr. Burner is showing all the signs of depression (change in weight, habits, unhappy for a long time, loss of interest in things he enjoys, drinking more.) I’m trying to get him to get help, but so far so he’ hesitant. I get that, but he needs help, or things will get worse. Anyone else been in this situation or…

I had my first ever panic attack going through airport security- now I do a lot of self talk and bring a mint to suck on as a distraction. Is there something else in your life that’s stressful, or did something happen on your last trip? Any changes in your life?

I’ve wanted to try swing dancing for years, and this week I went to a free class. :)

I’m still deciding. Basically I’ve spent the day in bed watching Sherlock series 3.

Oh, September will be hot as hell here too, but the summer holiday vibe will be gone.

Yay! SNS!
