As much as I’d love to think that 34 is a magic number…it could be 134 and he’d still get re-elected. But, I’ll enjoy today’s victory for what it is.

@Saltssaltgirl Saaaaaaame. This might turn off some edge voters, but it's just going to energize his base.

So I'm just enjoying the fact that as of now he can't vote for himself, at least.

@Saltssaltgirl Exactly. Absorb as much schadenfreude as possible while we can.

I pushed myself to go back to work yesterday, but my body rebelled. Today, I stayed home. Tomorrow, I will try again.
It’s different for teachers. When we miss work, we are letting down a bunch of other humans. The guilt is real.

Student: Miss…how bad are your scars from surgery

Me: Not so great. My stomach looks like a winking emoji with dimples

S: Being old sounds awful, but that is funny

Student: Miss…you good?

Me: Yes. I’m feeling much better.

S: Good because I was worried we wouldn’t get any more snacks if you didn’t come back.

M: Don’t worry. I will always make sure you have snacks. I have a contingency plan.

S: Is that like a snack backup plan?

M: Yes. I have people who will take over for me if needed.

S: Thank you for taking care of us, but take care of yourself too.

M: 🥹

You don’t realize how many muscles you use to sit up UNTIL you can’t use those muscles to sit up.

Abdominal surgery,,?

@Saltssaltgirl To say nothing of how involved those muscles are in lifting practically anything—which I bet you’re mostly not allowed to do now (I had abdominal surgery—bilateral inguinal hernia repair—in Feb 2023 so I remember it very well)

Asking for some good juju. You all came through for me the last time I needed it.

I have my first surgery scheduled for tomorrow and another on Friday.

Please send good vibes and calm. I’m worried about my students who will be without the stability of my classroom for an entire week.

Sending you positive vibes!
What’s the surgery for?
How much you care about your kids is admirable. 💕

Dr. : You have pancreatitis and need your gallbladder out asap!

Me: Okay! (Nice…I wonder how much a gallbladder weighs)

@Saltssaltgirl Well, after I had my gall bladder removed I lost 20KG in 18 months!

I took my students on a class trip today. Even though they live insanely difficult lives, they were able to enjoy the day with childlike joy.

As one of my “kids” was leaving, he turned around and said, “Today was a really good day.” He’s right; it was..

Student: Miss, you’re my favorite teacher. Know why?

Me: Thank you. That’s very sweet. I don’t know why.

S: Because we do so many things wrong and you never leave us or threaten to retire.

M: (choking up)You all do so many things RIGHT! Every day is a new day. I get to watch all of you grow. I’m pretty lucky.

S: We’re lucky. Can I have a snack?

M: (laughing) You’re slick! And yeah, you can have a snack.

@Saltssaltgirl My daughter has taught social studies (mostly American History, regular, honors & AP) for 17 years. Here she is a few days ago with some of her students. I am so proud of her. She is a great teacher full of empathy, compassion and an honest desire to see her students achieve success. In my mind, there is not a job more important than teaching kids.

There’s a mourning period between books. You need to make peace with the words before you can move to the next.

May 9th, 2016 is a day that changed me forever. Every anniversary brings me anxiety & my PTSD rears its ugly head. But, I made it through today. I’ll take this small win.
