Taking a day off and resting. (Which I definitely need.) As I get older, I feel less bad about doing it. #teaching

Mythic Quest was great this week. 📺
Me, riding an octopus, drinking coffee. I get the coffee, but not sure where they got the octopus from.
Walk in door. Still feeling ill, now losing my voice.
Y: Can you make waffles?
E: Can you take me outside to roller skate?
Waffles is only the weekend, we went out rollerskating for a bit.
Finished reading: Morning Star (Red Rising Series Book 3) by Pierce Brown 📚
Finished this yesterday. I’m pretty invested in the whole universe and enjoyed the ending. But will have a break starting the fourth, I think.
Between the three adults in the classroom today we all wanted to write the date differently.
🇨🇳25-2-12
🇺🇸2-12-25
🇬🇧12-2-25
It’s obvious which is correct!
I’d rather be properly sick at this point. Well enough to work but not really well enough to go to the gym.
The Worst ™️
Woke at 12 certain it was the morning. In the night I felt like I should take today off. But, by the time morning came I was feeing well enough.
Perils of teaching small children I guess, always something going around.

Picked this up from the library, enjoying the opening…
❤️
Scroll like TikTok but it’s Wikipedia articles.
Not feeling 100% so being smart and going home instead of the gym. Still disappointed though.
Pete Brown said it well, “the vast majority of iPad owners are using the device to read Kindle books, play Candy Crush, and take bad photos.”
Maybe you’ve seen the London Underground boards with quotes on. Apparently it’s called All On Board(Instagram link) and there’s a book. In a similar spirit, I’ve been doing something similar at school. Once a week I’ve putting a quote or some quotes that I’ve found on a book outside our classroom. I do have a commonplace book to write them down, I have many notebooks actually but I rarely find the time to write them down. Instead I send themselves on Signal. Every Monday I scroll through and pick one. Trying to make it relevant for school and students. Which means no parenting ones. Just, something to make someone think…
Have many people mentioned it? No, not many but also, not 0. So I keep doing it. Affecting more than 0 people is worth it, I think. I should take photos.
Here’s a recent one, I need to get better at taking photos!
It was on sale and then when we went to pay it was cheaper than the ticket price.
(It was kid’s pyjamas that they probably don’t need, but saved money is saved money, right?)
Alternatively, make the batter by blitzing all the ingredients together using a blender.
Of course, put that at the end of the instructions!
Man City down at half-time to Leyton Orient to a , a League One side. Still got to fancy them to come back but making it an interesting game!
What’s it like to live with just 8 garments for an entire year, and how long do the garments last? - I mean I tend to wear lots of the same things, but still have a few full drawers.
As always, I struggle with letting things go!
If Lyra says it’s spicy. It’s spicy. It’s so spicy though, but so delicious but so spicy.
From 5:30am this morning. For some reason, getting up on Saturday is such a pleasure. It forces me to be sensible on Friday (early night and no drinking) and sets me up for Saturday.
The 1 hour and 40ish minutes it takes me to ruck 10ish km forces me to stop. Nothing to do but to keep moving. Though, I don’t normally get my phone out but I did today a couple of time.
Only risk is waking one of the kids as I get ready. Thankfully it doesn’t happen often.
Severance. So. So. Good. My favourite line was, “I mean I know there was no actual ceiling, but this is fucking insane.” And it barely touched on the ending to the previous episode!
