You'd take a break to pee, Teppy, you can take that long to nibble a couple of bites of banana.

Ugh. I ate the banana...and threw it up. This is ridiculous. My stomach does feel all stabby, though

Teppy, I am worried about you. Can you ask Tim to come home and check on you or sit with you for a bit? Or if he can't do it, is there someone else who could?

He had to take a half day yesterday to take his dad to the doctor, so I don't want to make him leave again. and he'll be done in a few hours anyway. I think I'll try making some toast and see how that goes.

Oh Steph. Do take care of yourself.

This is why I have bad associations with bananas--I always end up eating them when I feel sick, and then half the time I end up sicker and associate the banana with it.

Also, watching How to Get Away with Murder, and all I can think is "sure, they make the black kid go buy the lighter fluid while wearing a hoodie. Yeah, that's not going to unnecessarily be a risk at all, in this country...

HtGAwM is still a question mark for me. People are pretty unlikeable and Dean Thomas is too kermit/muppet in his credualtiy.

In other news, I have to brag about the awesomeness of my students. One kid had a seizure in the midst of class, and everyone else just kept working and acting like it was no big deal. When he was done, he looked around to see if anyone had noticed and because everyone was still working, it was "fine". He gets super embarrassed when it happens and panicking makes it worse. It's the second time this has happened in a week, and they are just busy trying to make him feel like it's okay. (one of the boys at his table came and got the tissue box off my desk and set it on their table and another boy at another table went to go find his mom who works at the school).

I have seriously nice students.

I still can't keep food down (sorry, gluten-free toast; you tried), so I'm suspecting maybe I have a bug that just coincided with the avalanche of work and gigantic ensuing panic attack (although I suppose I could have gotten so upset I made myself sick, but that's never ever happened before in my long history of losing my shit on an epic scale). I've got all the work finished and turned in that I can get done today, so I'm going to see if I can nap until Tim comes home (despite saying earlier than I didn't have time to nap). Meh.

I'm sorry you are having such a pile-on of a day, Steph. Glad you are taking a nap.

I have seriously nice students.

Yes you do! That's a pretty impressive display of care and support.

She asked him how long he had been a vegetarian, and he said he wasn't, but he was a VAGetarian. Yeah, his user name was actually ILoveToFU.

That is hilariously awful. At least he was kind enough to make it clear from the get-go that he was a non-starter.

Sophia, for what it's worth, I was rude to a barista at Starbucks the other day ... was on the verge of throwing the coffee (iced, not hot) at her.

It's been a bad, and very busy week, so having to wait while my iced coffee sat next to the machine while she fixe three fancy/complicated drinks before handing it over and then, when all I wanted was some milk (the insulated jug was empty ... and all they have to do is pull it out of the refrigerator), watch her take coffee from someone who wanted more milk in it, pour her coffee into a larger cup, then heat up some milk and pour it into the larger cup ... I still get angry about it.
