Tomorrow is math testing at work. Thankfully we don't have a testing schedule. They're just going to take the tests in our two hour English classes. It's an easy day, but we have so much testing!

And so it begins...

But Monday is over. So it continues?

Sunday nights are always so strange. Not ready for another week...

Rain...

It rained all day today which made it a perfect lazy day. It's so much easier to relax when it's raining.

Knitting!

I knit three rows last night! And I enjoyed it!

I also rescheduled my eye appointment for a week earlier. I realized that it's a medical appointment, not an eye appointment, so it uses the medical part of the insurance so only being able to use it once a year shouldn't be an issue. I wrote my insurance to confirm, and they said call VSP. VSP was confused when I called because they don't do cataracts. I told them that was the answer I expected.

When I made the appointment, lots of appointments were available in November. When I tried rescheduling, the earliest was December 31. I tried a new appointment, but only the optometrists were available. I want to go straight to a surgeon. I don't know if that actually saves a step, but it seems smart. So now my appointment is December 31, with the surgeon I originally scheduled with, which is nice because it's during break.

I wish I had thought of the medical vs glasses appointment earlier! But it's a month and a half away. Not that long to wait! I'm a little anxious because I don't want them to tell me something like just keep changing your glasses. That's not working. And it would be amazing to not need glasses, or even need them less.

Almost...

This week was too weird. But it's almost the weekend!

I really have nothing interesting today, unlike the random whining yesterday

This turned into a whining post

Today was fine. Nothing interesting, at work or home at least. I am annoyed by my stubbornness though. I've been annoyed by my new car every time I drive it. I still want it to be a stick shift. I wonder if it's just me being stubborn, I'm really annoyed by it, or if it's just an easy thing to deflect other annoyances onto. I tell myself, nice new car! Lucky you! But apparently whining makes me happier or something.

Although, I am amused that the algorithm suggested a reel with a fake stick shift that fit in a cupholder. How did it know? I've stopped complaining out loud...

Oh! Changing the setting did fix it yelling at me to stop when I was already stopping, but today it yelled at me that I was leaving my lane when I was in an intersection with no lane markings. I didn't change steering and landed exactly in the correct lane. I get irrationally annoyed every time it does something like that. A few days ago I legit left a lane. It was curved and I didn't curve with it. Oops. The car was quiet and didn't care.

Baking...

I made two cinnamon star breads today. Half for me, one and a half for two teacher friends with birthdays this week. I've had a piece. It's delicious..

Weird day

This Monday work, Tuesday off thing made work feel weird today. The kids were definitely off too. But sleep in tomorrow!

And ugh. My apologies for both of my senators caving.

*fingers crossed*

I was diagnosed with small cataracts my last eye appointment. My glasses, once again, aren't good enough after a few months. I made an appointment for January 7--medical, not optical. I really want the surgery and I want corrective lenses. I know my insurance won't agree, but I'll make it work.

And the Sunday night feelings are strong tonight. Just having one day than a day off is messing with ny brain!

Actually social!

I bailed on my plans to go to a gameboard cafe with a teacher friend last night when they got pushed back to 7. 6 was pushing it, 7 was too late. I'm a night person, but I hate being out at night.

Today I went out to lunch with Luci who's in town for a concert. So that was nice!

When I played Wordle yesterday morning they had a notification that you can make your own. Most of my students play Wordle, so today I made one to go with their assignment--an advice column based on the article we read. It waa fun!

You're invited to play a puzzle created by Katherine.

The air conditioning at school was fixed. Yesterday afternoon it started working again. It got up to 81 with the heat running yesterday. It's still in the 80s out. It was a pleasant 68 in my classroom today.

I have no idea how I worked in a room without a working air conditioner for so long. It was 79 in there most days.
