Happy to be here. English teacher, spouse, cat mom. Likes: morning yoga, long baths, making risotto, having opinions about TV. Dislikes: being late, drivers who don't wait their turn to merge on the interstate, "the reason is because."

Wrapping up 25 years in public education today, the last 20 at the same school. Excited about my new teaching adventure in the fall, but feeling all the feelings saying goodbye today.

I often say that Annie is "helping" me grade papers when she lays on top of them in a bid for attention, but I love how this one looks as though she's actually doing the work :)
My cat Annie standing on a chair with her front paws on the table, draped over the papers I had been grading as if she is contemplating whether the student really deserves that A

Dr. Mel is all of us, pretty much every day of 2026.

Well, that's not encouraging.

In the last 5 weeks, despite my needle anxiety, I’ve gotten a TDAP booster, flu shot, Covid shot, AND my first Shingles shot. Planning some celebratory ice cream and thinking the Yankees should reward me by taking the division. From the Jays this weekend!

Saw this in Liz Neeley's Making Sense Of It All newsletter, and putting it here as a good reminder to myself
What To Say When Everything is on Fire
A poem by Nikita Gill
Everything is on fire
but everyone I love is doing beautiful things
and trying to make life worth living,
I know I don't have to believe in everything,
but I believe in that.

We still call Josie, our almost 11 year old grey girl, and her sister Annie, "the kittens" as a matter of course in our house. She says hi to Bagel!
Josie, a grey and white cat, stretches out her front paws while sitting next to a computer on a bed.

Annie and Josie say, "Hello, Bagel!"

Beautiful sunset on my walk last night.
The sun is setting through the trees, creating pinkish-orange stripes in the sky.

Long time lurker, first time poster, but Annie and Josie thought it was high time they were introduced to Bluesky. Happy December!
Annie, a long haired black and white cat, sits under a Christmas tree.  Josie, a grey and white short haired cat, sits slightly in front of the tree. Both seem to be ready to defend said tree from any enemy advancement.
