I went on the bad site to check in on a friend who won't give it up...10 minutes later I have a migraine and I want to puke at all the people supporting Trusk.

I've had it with today and all of the mango menace's crazy-making bullshit. Please, someone send him to a pocket dimension and toss it in the trash.

A single word can be a lie. For example, journalists are still calling what Musk and his child army have been doing an operation in pursuit of government efficiency.... www.meditationsinanemergency.com/to-use-their...

I'm always sort of amazed how people can go from zero to furious in the blink of an eye. This morning I received some nasty correspondence for something that was completely not my fault--and in fact, didn't have anything to do with me. (But they thought it did.) Sigh. People are too angry.

I'm not a Boomer, but I'm fixing to rant like one: When did it become ok to ride electric scooters on the 3rd floor hallways in my school building? I'm not cool with that. I think it's dangerous. And also from a purely aesthetic standpoint, it looks really DUMB. Quit it already. (Rant over.)

I hear the frogs croaking and the crickets chirping outside my cracked-open window. It seems hard to believe it's the first week of February, not April.

I've spent all day reading student stories and I'm still not done! One of these days I'll learn not to spend 30-45 minutes reading and responding to each one. (Yeah right.)

Well, FedEX finally delivered my package, 16 days after it was supposed to arrive. And Dump and his ilk want to get rid of the USPS and replace it with private shipping companies? NO THANKS.

PIcked up my first set of papers today, 100-200 word microfictions. So far my students are impressing me!

I am having the worst depression right now. It wasn't so bad yesterday because there was so much to do, but today it engulfs me. I feel so lost and alone. (Sorry about my pity party.)

Up all night with severe food poisoning. Stayed in bed and slept the day away. I feel like a used napkin. But my Mom is caring for me and that's nice.
