Third tornado warning in the past 4 days. Probably not our last one tonight. Happy hour in the basement sounds like an excellent idea!

I am so angry with myself for being fooled, but maybe I can save just one person from being scammed too!

Yesterday one of my tires blew. I was helped by a kind man who had much better tools than I. Suggestion: evaluate your tire tools. $55 got me a 2 ton Jack and better lug nut wrench. I learned to use the jack & used the labeler to add instructions for my future self. Now I am much better prepared.

I am pledging to print out this graphic, write the word “Coward” in all caps and snail mail 10 copies to each Dem Senator who voted yes. Anyone else with me???

“I don’t consider myself COVID cautious. I consider myself COVID competent,” Zebrowski said. “Cautious would imply that I have an unreasonable fear of something. I do not have an unreasonable fear of this disease.” Nailed it 🔥

Whiskey is NOT amused at this whole “sweatshirt” idea to go play in the snow. It’s, quite frankly, the angriest I’ve ever seen her look. 😂#dogsofbluesky

Sitting in the dark, complete silence. A candle and twinkle lights illuminate my takeout dinner. A glass of Malbec. I’m finally feeling some of the end of semester stress temporarily leave my body. Only 87 more school days to go. #fridaynightteacherlife #iteachphysics

Found out today that a colleague’s 6year old has had a series of strokes. This is so sad, and used to be practically unheard of before the-virus-that-shall-not-be-named. Sigh.

Ideas needed! Someone tried to scam me via email for 💵 last night. I have an email and a PayPal account. I know authorities won’t do anything. Anyone know of creative ways to use this info to make the sender wish they hadn’t contacted me?

Just finished watching the Netflix documentary “Martha” w/my daughters. This was all of us when we learned that it was James Comey who brought those BS charges against Martha Stewart. And then we all said…that tracks. 🙄

Cannot recommend enough reading stories about dogs to help detox the brain after this election. James Herriott’s Dog Stories are my new bedtime stories. 🥰🐕‍🦺

Lordy my APC is struggling. I’m trying to teach them FRQ structure and the feedback I’m getting is just so disheartening. I hate to say they are unmotivated, but let’s simply say their intellectual curiosity and stamina needs improvement. Not really looking for advice- just needed a quick vent.
