okay, i understand that it is going to be legitimately cold tomorrow but the amount of messages my school has sent out reminding parents to bundle up their kids is getting a little ridiculous.

how many are just going to turn this into a four-day weekend?

finished reading: golden son by pierce brown ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

didn’t like it as much as red rising but i want to know where it goes.

the characters are getting older and making their own choices. but i felt like this was an interlude and not a complete story.

great world building.

truly love spending all this time making copies especially on the “slow” copier because the “good” one is broken. #iteach

why does a nice shower fix everything? even though i’ve had a long last two days, i feel amazing right now. but also ready to curl up in my own bed.

okay, trying all of this again. trying to get home via a different route. hopefully, today is the day.

i guess florida doesn’t want me. i should have rescheduled my flight earlier and enjoyed the evening. i guess ill try again in the morning.
December 30, 2025 at 6:27 AM
my flight has been delayed now for over three hours. i have to say to all the parents of littles: you are amazing. i haven’t seen one meltdown; only loads of adorable toddling. i wish i could give you more than praise because i know it’s not easy.

listening to the pantry pick: chips ahoy! episode of the #mates podcast. people definitely think i’m crazy laughing to myself. “you’re mother was a saint!”

best part about being home for the holidays (besides family)? the lebanese food. would it kill the treasure coast to get a decent shawarma joint?

my favorite part of the last day of school before winter break is walking into the wawa and seeing three other teachers in their holiday pajamas and a “i can make it through four hours today” look in their eyes. #iteach
