Mar. 6th, 2024 10:45 pmToday was really long, and I'm still mostly sad, but the end of the day got pretty good.
Wednesdays are always tough days at work --I teach four classes in a row, and then I don't get my second prep and instead go straight into ~meetings party~. Today was even harder than usual, because meetings party was being hosted by the equity team, and every team member (including myself) was headed off to a different department of the school to run the presentation. So basically taught five classes in a row, one of which was to adults, with very little food in the middle because I've been bad at bringing significant lunches to work because that is hard.
The presentation was about language, and basically being more mindful how we talk to and about the kids, and it went fine. I was with the counseling department, which was neat --I don't normally interact with them, and there were several people I didn't know at all. Good to get to meet coworkers!
Then Equity Team had our usual short-Wednesdays-meeting, which served as a debrief session of the PD we had just run, what went well, what needed improving, etc. And then there was...more...debriefing about some other stuff that wound up being necessary but really stressful. And then a final quick debrief about even more stressful but also necessary to hear. Anyways, EqTeam meetings are supposed to end ~3:45, I walked back to my classroom at about 5:30 to complete my attendance and other post-work tasks that on normal days I do during second-prep. Wednesdays, man.
On the plus side, I managed to stay mostly constructive through all of that -somehow, shockingly- and then as I was actually walking out of my room, transit said I had 1min until bus, which means I basically ran for it and just made it. Yay for not having to wait in the rain!
Home again home again, do the dishes since I've been neglecting them forever, and then eat dinner (thanks Ezri for prepping) and playing some actually good-feeling video games? I have almost finished the core levels of Hexcells Infinite, and today was my fourth -and thankfully successful- attempt at getting through 6-5, the hardest level. Gosh was I pleased to finally finish that one, and it almost made up for accidentally killing myself on my necrodancer daily run in a really foolish way.
And then tonight I've had a little mini-date with Tuesday, which has been lovely --it's hard to believe it's only been just over a week since I saw her last. We watched the first episode of the newest season of Jet Lag, and I'm very much reminded that I adore these three little goofballs and I should really go back and watch the rest of their seasons I haven't seen. Having a nice time with my cutie-girl and my cutie-entertainments has gone a long way to soothing my soul, even if I do continue to feel the crushing weight of everything in the universe that wants doing.
(My bedroom is a catastrophe and it really is wearing on me. One of these days?)
((I don't want wireless headphones, but I should probably eventually get wireless headphones specifically so I can move around my bedroom freely while engaging with people on the computer.))
I am pleased to see that I've nearly earned a die today --13/15, and it's good to be zipping along with that after a rocky start. The calendar only holds 31 boxes, I am continually peeved that I average like...four calendars a year or something. And yes, some of that holdup is like, when I go to Pinewoods for a month or whatever, but some of that is just...*waves hand at everything*
So I've been working on this batch since mid-December, and today will be box 23 I think. Progress is non-linear.
((Man, I'm really behind on updating my dice spreadsheet too :< ))
So I'm feeling okay, because good social and good entertainment. Tomorrow will be another long day at work, but at least on Thursdays I have my lateprep and this week I don't have my firstmeeting like I normally do.
I hope you are well.

MOOP!
