Four bees so far

I am having fun with the Honeymakers Challenge prompts: https://archiveofourown.org/works/63536401

It is also fun to see how some of my other works have been noticed. Love to see little milestones crossed and I adore every comment.

I had way too much fun with today's Honeymaker's Challenge prompt of peak male performance. Below is the vision that inspired my ficlet.

Chapters 8 and 9 helped me to focus on my next planned story. Now I just need time to write :)

Meeting the Expert

For my badge, we had to meet with an expert to talk through what teacher advocacy is to them, and run by what we are thinking about for our advocacy action plan. The person that we met with has been in education for the majority of her life, and she had a lot of helpful things to say. When asked about the ways in which she practices teacher advocacy, she told us that in small ways, she does it everyday. Expanding on that, she told us that the biggest issue facing public education today has to do with the image that public education has, and the role that teachers have in shaping that image. Currently, people look down on public education, on teachers, and on the quality of the education. In order to change that, teachers need to change their mentalities. She said that she does this as often as possible, and it is as easy as holding conversations with family members, friends, colleagues, about teaching. It is important that you relay to them that you enjoy what you do, and that public education isn’t this terrible thing that people need to fear. For me, this was the most memorable part of the meeting because it is important to know that being a teacher advocate doesn’t have to be through big political gestures, sometimes talking positively about the profession you love is enough.

I think I'm gonna have to do something different.  To be honest, I am not going to do these in the morning any time in the near future.  But hey, maybe I will.  Maybe, if I do them in the morning, they'll be fiction.  And maybe, when I do them before I go to sleep, they'll be nonfiction.

Today was movies and urine.  My life is never fictional when it comes to urine, and I really wish it were.  Mom and I saw "How to Train Your Dragon 2," then she got a massage and I got a taco and some peaches and some tomatoes, not from the same places.  The tomatoes came with a housekey from my aunt and uncle.  The peaches came with a watermelon.  The tacos came with packets of mild sauce.  Then we went to my grandfather's apartment, which is where the urine comes in.  I mopped his guest bathroom floor with white vinegar.  I used vinegar since that erases the smell at least to human noses, and I mopped it in the first place because that is where his dog pees the most.  We also put on a new duvet cover and dustruffle, but bed linens don't curl my nose hairs the way urine-y vinegar fumes do, so that made less of an impression.

Then we went home, made nachos, and watched "Heat."  Boy that's a weird movie.
