Oh man, amyth, hope you are okay.

I have had a DAY today. I actually told three students that I have given up on them and I was out. Then another student who got up and walked out enraged me to the point where I made the whole class write about her (to her and things that were about what her potential is), but still.

I got some good news tonight: my brother and SiL are going to be able to come home for Christmas! I cried a little. Good thing he texted me.

Nice, Teppy. But, but, you need to come visit them here.

Yay for a brotherly Christmas!

Oh Kat, that sounds like an exhausting and emotionally depleting day. May tomorrow bring things into balance.

I forgot about the Wiz. It likely repeats? Have to look into that.

The whole San Bernardino situation and most everything else on the news is just discouraging. The whole thinking well of my fellow man thing is tougher than it should be.

Nice, Teppy. But, but, you need to come visit them here.

Totally! That's on the to-do list, for sure. It's been too long since I've been to Colorado.

I'm sorry for many of you being in bad situations and getting bad news. I'm on my phone, not gonna try to type more specific reactions, but I hold you all in my thoughts.

On my phone because I stopped for dinner at the fancy restaurant by the train station - Thursday is happy hour til close, score! But no wifi.

Like Dana, I just can't even with the news right now.

Teppy, have you tried the gluten free candy cane Jo Jos?

How are they?

I don't like mint stuff, so I haven't tried them. It's pretty cool that they exist, though.

Mm, candy cane jojos.

I had a lovely dinner and drinks with a friend of my sister, who I met last time I was in town. Yay. Though if we'd realized The Wiz was on we probably would've gotten takeout and done that!

I made butterbeer!
