Kat, I know I've been skippy -- what suicide attempt by a student? That's tough.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I worry that disclaimers aside you would start seeing a lot of fundraiser submissions.
Oh yeah, that too! OK, you know what? I'm just going to give that girl some money myself ad leave it at that.

One of my students tried to commit suicide on Wed. I had her Best friend in class yesterday and tried to connect, but with 8554 things going on, I could only get a quick note to the BFF.
I'm gutted and tired today (I have a book hangover from reading through the night. Curses on Rainbow Rowell!) and am a little overwrought. I can't get into work email so I don't know why we are on lockdown. ARGH.

Amy, I hope you don't feel like I was calling you out -- it's just that this one made me reconsider! Unlike other submissions I've gotten from strangers.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, Kat, I'm sorry. I know how hard that is, not only on the kiddoes, but on you as support. You do what you can and what you can is all you can do.

Aw, Kat. That's really tough. I hope the note helped.

Thanks, Liese. I don't have any students this period, so I'm sitting at my desk, trying to get into email to see WTH is going on.

Because books.
Jesse, not at all! I almost wrote a note to you in the submission, but then I was lazy. It's really not a big deal, and I get the hesitation completely.
Kat, I'm so sorry. You need a day or two to recharge in peace.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am getting Thai food for lunch though, so things are looking up.

I just checked out two books on Mayan Civilization (Casper need info on the Mayan economy for school), three books by Tomie DePaola (Dillo requested I get some - author of the month in his class and he loves them), and two romance novels about Regency spies.
