Let it go

Nothing super exciting going on right now. I’m trying to wrap up the year on a good note. Gosh, all these protocols and procedures are driving me crazy! So much grading and paper work—eek. Today, my students had a sub for the first time all year, and I felt like a mother leaving her kids with the babysitter for the first time. Did I leave good instructions? Are they going to clog the drain with acrylic paint and sneak into the storage room? Will they split into rival factions and battle to the death? I know: let it go.

After my meetings, I met up with B and had some of his raspberry lemonade, some frozen strawberry lemonade, and finally a strawberry fruit bar. (That should be enough antioxidants to not only keep Alzheimer’s at bay, but to grow my brain to three times its natural size.) We walked back to his apartment and watched several episodes of Real Housewives of New Jersey, which, given the balance of tangerine-skinned cougars and passive-aggressive catfights between menopausal Italians, was more entertaining than it has any right to be.
