No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

I'm sorry, Gud.

Good luck scrappy!

I've been off work a week and a half but doesn't count. But I feel like I'm wasting precious time off—type A much? "I should be catching up on good tv series! Or learning to knit! Or doing chair yoga!"

I scheduled two weeks off at the beginning of December, because I'll lose time if I don't take it, but I have no idea what I should do with it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Gud, make time to take care of yourself.

Im sorry, Gud.

Relaxation guided meditations, meara?

Such freedom, Tom! Jelly

Owwww. I hate being broken. And I hate having to inject myself with blood thinner, it hurts. And I don't reallt want to go back to work at all, but can't really justify that just because of a broken ankle, when I work from home! I just want to whine and complain, today :(

Our wings are not tired.

I know the classroom management part of it was also a big contributor and I will have to work at that harder, but the lack of administrative support is a big issue.

Responsibility without control sucks. Administration and teachers not working together is rather similar to parents not working together, imo.

Gud, make time to take care of yourself.

Yes. You can't take care of others if you don't take care of yourself first. Kind of like the flight attendant instructions to put your mask on first, then help others.

I scheduled two weeks off at the beginning of December, because I'll lose time if I don't take it, but I have no idea what I should do with it.

Think warm sunny Florida. (I am so predictable)

I'll probably be heading back to Florida this weekend since it is becoming an issue keeping the inside warm enough here. Snow forecast has moved to Sunday, but I don't think I should stay another week just for the fun of seeing Zoe's reaction.

Oh meara, if at all possible you should take time off. Even without the painkillers fogging your brain your body is working overtime at healing, which is exhausting. But yeah, I get the whole 'I should be working' thing.

Dude, that's a serious injury! And you had surgery!

Yeah, meara, recovery is hard work, don't make it harder if you can help it.
