Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 59 degrees F and cloudy here at the Jersey Shore. It was raining earlier but that has stopped for now.
I’m at work as usual. I’m about half way through the work day....

What a clown show. Today was yet another day in court for the Trump hush money criminal trial. He was angry that the crowds of protesters that he called for never materialized. He was embarrassed so then he started pressuring...

What's going on the dinner table tonight? Share with us!
My stomach hasn't been great today. I had a protein bar for breakfast and like 3 bites of my turkey and cheese sandwich for lunch. I was afraid that I was going to puke on...

Today I met with the supervisor for my "summative evaluation". I don't even understand the point. All he did was read me the same numbers that I could see in the staff portal and had already signed off on. This is the first year...

Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. It is 73 degrees F and cloudy here at the Jersey Shore. It looks like we might get rain later. Fine with me. It will rinse the pollen off of my black car.
I'm done with work and back...

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 71 degrees F and cloudy here at the Jersey Shore. Meh.
I’m at work as usual. 2 more classes to go. I don’t have any tutoring this afternoon so it should be a quiet...

Warning: rant ahead
So my neighbor came to pick up her dog and his stuff this afternoon. I watched him for free from Wednesday until this afternoon. You know what she gave me? Her thanks and a hug. I mean I wasn't expecting to be...

We have to do a bunch of pointless "paperwork" that means nothing in the beginning of the year--setting goals, writing a professional development plan, etc. No one looks at any of it for 9 months and then we have to update it all...

It is crazy. I started teaching in September 2001. That was the same month of 9/11. The level of state aid that the district received crashed and has never recovered. The district has always been creative about having alternative...

For real. The guy is rapidly deteriorating. I'm honestly surprised that his campaign allows him to speak in public in any form other than pre-recorded, scripted, and vetted video clips. I guess they *had* to let him do a rally...

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 50 degrees F and raining here at the Jersey Shore. Yuck.
I've been up since about 7 am. I can't say I've done anything particularly productive just yet but I'll get...

Well I will for as long as I can stand it anyway. It is running over an hour late which makes no sense because supposedly Trump was staying at Bedminster which is literally in New Jersey. 2 hours away from Wildwood max. I want to...

In my continuing attempt to clear out the freezer I thawed some pieces of pork loin. I slow cooked them in the InstantPot with sauerkraut and some white wine I had hanging...

Whew. I've been checking it every couple of hours. The past 3 readings have been 101/73, 109/77, and 108/77. My pulse is back down into the 70s too. I'm impressed that just 5mg of Bystolic was able to get it under control so...
