I get bored of eating the same Subway sandwich every day for lunch (turkey, bacon and avocado on wheat with honey mustard) so the teacher from Mississippi recommended a rice bowl. We went together to the KFC inside Homeplus. She got the sweet and spicy one and I, being deathly afraid of spicy stuff these days, got the teryaki one. It was not bad. Not very authentic teryaki, but a nice change.

I got the beginnings of a headache coming on now though. The pain is behind my left eye. I have to teach all afternoon, except for one free period, so I went to the drugstore and bought some Tylenol. Hopefully that gives me a bit of relief until hometime. I’m just going to take my time working on the graduation song and speech. Graduation is not until February but I want to get ahead and get it written. That way I don’t worry about it over Winter vacation.

  • Of Reinventions and Regrets

    Well, I’ve calmed down a bit after my hair disaster yesterday, but it’s been replaced by extreme regret. I wish I had never touched my hair! It will take over a year for it to grow out, so 2026 is the year of the black bob. I arrived at school and the comments ranged from…
