Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. It is 54 degrees F and cloudy here at the Jersey Shore. I feel like I haven't seen the sunshine in months. I was going hard at work today until my 6th period class. I lost my steam and then the students started asking me random stuff and telling me various things. Normally I would have shut them down but its Friday and it was a long week so I just let them go. They were even asking to see my wedding dress. I didn't even attempt to start with my last class. We did do the Connections and Wordle so at least they used their brains a bit. We did well with the bake sale this morning. It wasn't as crazy as the first one when we made $350 but we made just over $200. That is more than enough for what I have planned for December. We sold almost everything. The members loaded up whatever wasn't sold before school onto a cart and I brought it to all of my classes, a class I was covering, and my hall duty. There were just a few strawberry crumble cookies and a couple of bags of chocolate chip cookies left by the end of the day. I put them in the fridge in the faculty room to keep them safe from the mice over the weekend. I'll put them out on the table on Monday and they will be gone in like 2 hours. I'm back at the apartment now with the cat crew. I don't have any big plans for the afternoon or evening which is fine with me because I'm tired. It has been a long week and I've been awake since before 4am. What's everyone else up to this afternoon?

We’re getting close to Texas. I’m hoping dinner is NOT out of a gas station like last night. I didn’t complain, but eating gas station food and Burger King for two straight days is a little much.

Ugh. Find a local restaurant or something. I would be making them stop every hour because I would have to use the bathroom! hahaha

Ugh....gas station food. And Burger King....my tummy would be on high alert and not happy. I hope you got something better than that to eat, Amber.

Glad to hear all went well at the bake sale, I am watching reruns of Master Chef and when Ramsey was yelling at someone making cupcakes I thought of you and your baking club, I hope you and the cat crew have a relaxing evening,l

Pretty woke up at noon saying she was hungry so we went out to eat and brought some home for this evening. The forecast this morning said we might reach 67F by this afternoon but the rain/storms stopped before noon and we reached a high of 72F. Pretty turned on the air for a couple of hours while I was asleep. I'm glad the sale went well and you made enough for the next projects for the baking club. I hope you're getting a good nap in this afternoon.

Glad you made it through the day. I think I have only three or four students this afternoon.

I've been doing Wordle regularly for some time and now I've added Connections as well. I find that harder as sometimes the sets are very much 'American'. Football teams or other US stuff that I have no idea about. But it's all good fun.

I'm glad the bake sale went well. I have nothing planned for today or tomorrow except maybe watch the Browns game.
