improvements and impatience
Work: v. v. busy; reasonably good group of students this year. No "worst class you'll teach in a decade" happening this year, hurrah.
Books: still slowly reading Barbara Hambly's Edwardian vampire series and 1830s New Orleans series. With frequent interruptions from other books, none of which I have time to rec at the moment. Maybe this weekend?
(Almost signed up for Yuletide this year, because both Hambly series that I'm reading were listed. And my beloved Andor! I talked myself out of it - not enough free time.)
Slowly watching Rings of Power, season two. Stronger than season one, in my opinion - so far, at any rate.
Made a planned week-long trip during the school year for the first time ever. (I've missed work for a week in the past, but it was for reasons like the flu or Covid.) Anyway, we all survived it: me and the students. And the substitute teachers. Although AAAAUGH, prepping ahead of time for missing an entire week was a nightmare, and I don't plan to do so again if I can avoid it.
Less than a month until Thanksgiving break, hurrah hurrah. Looking forward to visiting parents and some of the siblings as well. And then it will be a sprint from Thanksgiving to Christmas, which means it's time to work on that Christmas present for my mother. (If it's a success, I may post pics here. It's a *crafty* project.)
