I’m too exhausted to post anything but this photo of a gift a student gave me. It’s a snowman made of little jars filled with the ingredients needed to make cocoa. How cute is this? Achievement of the day: final grades calculated and submitted. Disappointment of the day: feeling too weak and sick to attend the departmental party at my favorite restaurant. The #1 enemy of the day: people pleasers who create too much hustle and bustle in their attempt to make everybody happy and who end up causing only trouble and annoyance. Tomorrow I have to be at work, too, by the way. And then I will probably just drop dead.
