What're we up to
Jan. 15th, 2025 10:09 pmState of the Kat!
I have been back at work three whole days! It's been pretty fine, honestly. We're a little behind the other Geometry teachers, but it's not a disaster and it will probably sort itself out soon.
Monday was really good and high energy and I got a lot done. After library-afterschool-help, I went grocery shopping (good house accomplishment!) then home for DnD (lots of faffing about looking at spell lists because we leveled up!) and date nigh with Austin where we managed to do a NEML (recreational math!) and had good snuggles and it was lovely. On my "earn a die" dailies list, I earned _22_ points, which is 7 above threshold and well higher than any score I had last year (it might be my highest score ever). So that was quite nice.
Tuesday was also pretty good --I got to do more music project, and I also had a lovely last minute dinner invite with friend Ruthie and her toddler. At work, I had committed to grading all of one batch of quizzen, and somehow managed to get that done during class time and my prep and a little bit afterschool. I helped interview some candidates for open positions. Earned 17 points, which again, above threshold and Quite Good!
And then today my brain has just...crashed real hard. I have somehow earned 16 points already (and that's without evening brushing teeth or finishing my words or doing any music org which I still hope I'll have time to get to) so clearly I am still kinda making things happen, but I really did not do much during my preps, and I got a little dysregulated by the Equity Team meeting after school and then did more not much until Veronica called and I was able to get my shit packed up and walk home.
At home I have kinda actually set to a plan (play a Necrodance level, make and eat dinner, do my grading, advertise my keen genderfree SCD class tomorrow night at the NESFA clubhouse from 7-9 wear a mask) but gods, poor Ezri and Rey had to sit through so much whining and I feel very bad for them, because I did _not_ want to do _anything_. I still don't want to do anything, which is an unpleasant feeling, and more so because tomorrow is going to be _slammed_ busy.
(and like, kinda I don't have to do anything else tonight, which is good, I have an hour until bedtime and can do whatever I want, as long as it includes 200 more words).
This weekend is Arisia, which I'm sure will be pretty great once I'm there, but I literally don't know when I'm going to have time to pack and I am definitely not doing any other prep for it. I will want to pick up some volunteer hours, probably (I usually do) but I don't really know how or when. Do I have a membership? That seems like the sort of thing I should probably figure out before arriving on Friday. (Apparently I do).
Anyways, that's where I'm at. I hope you have good plans for the future, and good people to spend them with.

MOOP!
