Met an 8-yo who asked me these questions in quick succession: Are you a teacher? Do you have kids? Do you want kids? Will you have kids? CAN you have kids? She also complimented my yellow purse and told me I was beautiful, then went to her house next door and returned with a full glass of water.

The bus situation here is… not sustainable. Avalon Mall is a disaster waiting to happen.

Today was my last day at work. One of my fifth graders said to another that he felt our lives would intersect again someday, “When we’re older, in a bar.”

I had to talk to a total prick at the bank today and it honestly ruined my mood

Phantom Thread is an excellent cold November morning movie

I love the wording of this VOCM article: “having too much drink in his system” Did my grandmother write this?

I take a crazy muscle relaxant for period pain but it doesn’t actually make the pain go away, it just makes me stop caring about it, which is.. fine! So get this – my partner just told me MY FACE LOOKS SMOOTHER

Last night I dreamt that a group of friends was trying to get me to play a game with them in French. I drew a card and the man next to me tried to explain what a decametre was. So I said “c’est dix mètres” but he was skeptical. So I went “j’suis enseignante” and got fed up and quit.

It would be great to stop sweating, sneezing, and breaking out

Happy Father’s Day to the man who instilled in me the values of critical education, justice, and emancipation, only to then fight with me about all of them at every dinner table until we die

I’ll be using this to underscore the dystopianism of LLMs with my students.

I found out today that the kids are calling Cybertrucks “garbage cans” During our climate march this morning, they were all pointing and screaming “oh my god, look! A garbage can!”

In the 7th grade, I went to a friend’s birthday party at the only Mexican restaurant in my hometown. When the waitress came to take our orders, my friend turned to her and said, “I’m still vacillating.” To this day, I think it’s one of the funniest things a 12 year-old child has ever said.

Yesterday my student ate an entire apple during our tutoring session. Core and all.

I tried to set app limits on social media so I get a reminder to shut them down after 15 minutes of viewing time, but I keep pushing it aside for “15 more minutes” and now all it’s doing is killing my phone’s battery every day.

Lost my nose ring somewhere in the night. Wondering if I swallowed it.

I only know the smell of eucalyptus now. I only know the taste of mint and honey, of toast and eggs. I have been steamed into oblivion and my cough will not break. I am one with the sickness.

The sun was nearly up when my alarm went off this morning. I’m grateful for that.

On two separate occasions today, a car rolled through a stop sign and tore out in front of me to cut me off while I was crossing the street. I had the right of way both times. I am going to get hit by a car before this year is over.

Not only was it NOT a snow day today, but my feet got absolutely soaked on the way to work, and then I immediately had to sub for a colleague for half the day.

I just tried to make an appointment for a general checkup with my family doctor and the receptionist said “the doctors don’t really do that. They can only see you about something specific.” ??? Honey, I can give you a LIST and you can just have the doctor pick one if it matters that much!

For every parent who thinks their kid is getting too much homework, there are two more parents begging teachers to send home more worksheets.

It’s pretty much a given that if I haven’t been to work in a while (either on break or due to illness) I will hardly sleep the night before I return. Then when I do, all of my dreams will be about trying and failing to get out the door on time. I have never in my life been late for work!

I can’t believe how much of my 20s I wasted trying to gather “experiences.” Doing things just to see, just to say that I did. I don’t give a FUCK about experiences anymore. I want to experience as little as possible.

My apartment is so old and shitty that if my neighbour across the hall has something plugged in in his kitchen, our toaster doesn’t work. But he has someone else subletting his place now and we can’t tell them to unplug whatever it is. So now we make toast in the oven.

Never mind, I used my words and got an apology.

I worked really hard today, but there is no line in my contract to indicate that my duties include stopping the grade 5 and grade 6 teachers from killing each other.

Had a 5pm double espresso, got SO MUCH SHIT DONE, and am now wide awake curled into a ball in my bed and my heart is going to explode.

So irritated by my direct superior at work (on my day off!) that I literally had to stop and MEDITATE just to settle down enough for a meeting with my thesis supervisor

I’m losing my fucking mind about these. I can’t stop eating them. My mouth is on fire.

I met with my life coach and my thesis supervisor, respectively, in a 4-hour period this morning, and now I am brain dead.
