Oy

I hate days when I'm at school for fourteen hours. Today was one such day. On the bright side, I did get a lot done -- not everything I wanted to get done, but a lot: research workshop conducted, sub plans done, room cleaned (well, cleaner; straightened, perhaps), boards up, AP assignment typed, six letters of rec finished/printed/signed. And again I say, oy.

When one leaves school at eight p.m., one wants only to hit the drive-thru and go home. Despite the urgent desire, I went home and had a bowl of cereal. (I added blueberries -- health value!) I probably should not have eaten at all, given the late hour, but going to bed without my supper feels punitive somehow, and I already feel punished by the day. At least I kept to my Lenten rule and avoided fast food. It's been a long day; I celebrate the small successes. Off to bed.
