Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. It is 80 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. It is nice out there! I'm finally able to turn off the AC and open up the windows. Work was chill today. Being 9/11 I wanted to show them something about it. Yeah it has nothing to do with biology but I think it is important for them to learn about it. I showed them a short video called "Boatlift" which is about how all sorts of boats showed up to help evacuate lower Manhattan. We had a double 8th period which was a pep rally. The noise always makes me anxious. It is just so loud. Luckily the time went by quickly. I did see the principal this morning on my way in. I stopped to thank him for moving me and to let him know that I am so happy there. I think he was surprised when I told him I no longer cry on my way into work. I'm back at the apartment now with the cat crew. The cleaning lady was here. I'm surprised she isn't already blowing up my phone to send her money. I need to do that. I also need to order some groceries. I don't need much but I do need some fresh produce and some things to bring into work. My former students are already hitting me up for snacks. One kid today took some pretzel crisps, a protein bar, and a Rice Krispie treat. I wish I had a fridge in the prep room (more about that in another post) but for now I don't. No big plans for the afternoon/evening. What's everyone else up to?

What’s the status with the Baking Club? I think you were going to post about that earlier in the week, but I don’t remember seeing anything. Of course, it might have been ridiculously deleted and I didn’t know. I am just so happy to know you like your new room situation so much. The pharmacy was on my morning errands, and then I stopped by my dad’s because I knew he was home. He and Diana were getting ready to welcome 20 of the older folks in the church over for lunch and games. I kind of wanted to stay, but you know I’m always going to be an introvert.

I'm glad to hear that you're happy in your new room. It definitely makes a difference when you like where you are. I'm almost done my work day. I am definitely happy I'm almost done.

Glad you had a good day. Blogging took up my afternoon. What are you and the cat crew doing over the weekend?

Glad you're finally out of that old spot, not crying on the way to work says it all honestly. That Boatlift video is a good call for today, kids should see that stuff. Enjoy the nice weather and the chill evening with the cats.
