One more day of fall break left. Where did it go? What did we do? Nothing major. Lots of little things... I have this sense of being "nibbled to death by ducks." Not that it's been bad, it hasn't been. It just hasn't been much of anything. (I should make a list of all those little things so I won't feel so discouraged.)
...and I still have all my papers to sort for filing, and my lesson planning to do, and I need to get back into my classroom before Monday so that Monday isn't terrible.
I hate presidential election years. Politics shrouds everything and distracts me and makes me anxious, even though I can't do a thing about it. There's a fine line between interested/engaged and obsessed, and I'm working it.
That other thing, so obscurely referenced in the last post? Yeah, I got over it. It's true that some problems really will go away if you let them. I wish more people realized that -- it's not denial, or giving up, or anything negative. It's an active decision to let something go, and then following through on that decision. We define ourselves as much by the things we choose not to do as by the things we choose to do.
