Oh for crying out loud

I am rapidly reaching the point where getting a post started on here is almost as difficult as writing fiction, and that’s something that’s never been true before. But I’ll be damned if I didn’t get to the word “true” in that last sentence and glaze out for a couple of minutes to stare off into space. I had a day of teacher meetings today, with no students– they had an e-learning day– and it actually went pretty well, which probably isn’t an actual first but feels like it. Tomorrow I’m having grade conferences with every student and then it’s the weekend, and then I only have nine more days of school before winter break.

I’m going to blame end-of-semester brain drain and just go with that.
