Pam also bought me a magnetic word game, where you grab a pile of words and have to respond to a prompt where your language play is either selected by the judge as most clever, or bypassed for someone else's ability to put words onto a metal plate. I loved this game and could play for hours, because I never tire of lying possibilities into sequence for clever play and imagination.
It remains cold, though. I stay determined to walk the dog and get outside (even if I readily admit I took a two hour nap under a blanket after we returned. My sinuses wanted me to rest and, quite frankly, my body is requesting I do the same. It's feeling the punch that my nonstop schedule delivers day to day, week to week).
I need to get on grading today because the two weeks ahead are brutal and depends on my maturity to coach and cheer on the poor graduate students enrolled. We Got This! This is how teachers roll. Sadly, it is how teachers roll. It never ends.
I also rewatched Stranger Things, Season 4, so I'll be ready to tackle the final season should I made time for it in the next few weeks.
Of course, Day 3, I'm also learning that Google, which hosts Blogger (where I keep my daily blogs) is no longer playing nicely with Safari, an Apple browser, so doing a daily post is not as easy as it used to be. Seriously, I wish these big tech people would stop being greedy and simply allow those of us who operate in multimodal settings to simply do what we do, without all the nonsense of trying to get us to use this browser to that one, or subscribe to this company or the other. Just let us be creative in the capacities we want to be....
And with that...I'm moving on.
