I had a shower. I picked up a burrito. I feel human.

I’m filthy. I’m tired. I just got home. All I want is a burrito and a shower.

Movers are about 3 weeks away from having all of the books packed. And we opened an eave and found... 21 boxes of a gift stashed. My former colleagues may have heard the scream I screamt.

February, 1946.
Dear Mr. Dwyer,
Thank you for your letter and kind congratulations.
I may tell you just to console you, that to be seventy two is not at all as bad as you young things are apt
to suppose.
Yours sincerely,
W-S Maugham

Also, said envelope included a bunch of letters from him. This was my favorite.

β€œWhy do we have so much Maugham in storage?” *finds an envelope explaining the donation* β€œWelp, I guess we’re keeping it.”

I’ve got really bad tennis elbow and it really messing with my curling. I’m front end an sweep a lot. Tonight was unpleasant

Yes. Birds judge me constantly and I feel it.

Classes are done, so I can breathe a bit at least

I found a photo of a beautiful knit blanket on Pinterest yesterday, and it led back to an old diary/blog of a crafter, and I spent an hour reading back through it. It was delightful and I didn't realize how much I missed that.

I deleted my post yesterday about the gas station because people were all up in my business, assuming stuff about me and what I meant by that photo, but anyway.... the station near campus that is almost $.50 more than everywhere else is actually less today. They didn't get to update yet, I guess

a) that was UGLY and b) what's going on with people freaking out of Dahlin? Did I miss a memo about him?

I’ve been saying for a year he’s our most environmentalist president. Completely unintentionally, and he’d hate that for himself. But his cost of living increases have cut a lot of consumerism and unsustainable growth.

I have three class visits tomorrow, so I am with you

That's what is so frustrating about that first period. They looks disinterested. They are best (and at least entertaining) when they aren't cowering. Sounds like they roared back in the 3rd. Good for them

Take it any way it comes

Well I missed the last of what I guess became a good Penguins game. Much groceries don’t shop for themselves. (I mean I know, there’s a app for that, it I don’t do that)

Lost his damn mind.

When the Penguins go bad, they are just hard to watch. Just frustrating.

Because I don’t need know nothing people clogging my feed making assumptions about me based on a photo I took to share with people who follow me. See yourself out

20 minutes after start time and this hockey game has still not started. Today is not the day to f- with me. My patience was negative eleventy billion to start today.

Yup. Deleting. What a bunch of assholes. Make your holier than thou point without me. Because guaranteed, I am actually holier than you.

We * should * be paying more. The rest of the country * should * have the pricey California formula. California * should * have that formula all year. But also, I didn’t have a say in the infrastructure I’m forced into. I wish I could have public transit. I vote for that shit.

I’m about to delete that post because I forgot that people are seeing my stuff and are being assholes. Don’t make assumptions about me and gas and environmentalism and economic understanding. You’d be really wrong.

08.03.2026 20:10 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

I’m pointing it out. I have a whole lesson is class where my students have to actually see that our gas is cheap and we are privileged twats.

It should be higher, honestly. So, take your assumptions about me as shove them up your butt.

Third best after that and Hawaii. Someone posted $3 in New York and I cry-laughed in Californian. But for what it is and how bad the substance is, it should be expensive.

Also, it skipped spring. It’s been summer for two days and I’m already over it.
