Our wings are not tired.

Teacher people question. I have 10 teachers this year for the boys. For their holiday gifts I want to put together a little bundle that includes a lovely mug filled with the mini peanut butter cups and kisses, and a box of hot cocoa mix. (Except for the one teacher who said he needed 8x10 frames, yay for him saying what he wanted) I saw the mugs and thought that would work nicely. Sound good?

Punishingly Intricate

Teacher people question.

Ooh that reminds me that I'm due for a big stash of hand-me-down teacher presents. I get all the chocolate goodies my dad gets from his kids because he doesn't eat it (he does appreciate the gifts though and doesn't expect the kids to know what he would or would not eat).

My next door neighbor teacher used to lay out all his stuff on the table for anyone to grab anything they liked. He had some lovely silver frames one time that were just right for my sister.

Most of my teachers are men this year. I like all 10 of them, which rocks.

edit to spell stuff right

My mom gets a coffee can of a mix of really good homemade cookies every year from this one family, even though she hasn't had one of their kids in her class in 12 years, the first one she had is now 20 and they actually moved 2 hours away about 5 years ago. It's really sweet of them.

And damn, those are good cookies.

My feet are so cold my calves are aching. Hate winter.

The status is NOT quo.

Laura, you are my dream parent.

However, you might want to avoid anything with nuts just in case one of the teachers is allergic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've never been asked to show the contents of any of my packages -- for what countries do they want to see inside?

Back from pain management. Hmmph. They've referred me for biofeedback. Sure. Whatever. I got no energy left to have actual opinions on my treatment.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I've never been asked to show the contents of any of my packages -- for what countries do they want to see inside?

Well, not Australia as it turns out. I just wasn't sure enough about that to make a special trip to buy tape before I went to the post office.

Back from pain management. Hmmph. They've referred me for biofeedback. Sure. Whatever. I got no energy left to have actual opinions on my treatment.

What does Biofeedback do?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have tape at home, and tape in my trunk just in case. I also keep padded envelopes and letter sized envelopes (sometimes CD-sized ones too) in my car.

In case of a postal emergency, I'm well-stocked.

What does Biofeedback do?

That's me controlling my heart rate consciously. Which I already know how to do (experimented with it when they had me hooked up to much monitors for the rib injury), but not how to apply it.

Hopefully it'll cover more than heart rate, because there are too many contexts in which I'm striving for an elevated heart rate. They monitor brainwaves too, I think.
