[i-will-not-be-caged]

Someone please remind me that I do actually love my job and my students and that the reason I feel like I hate them right now is just because the end of October is a notoriously awful time of year.

OHGOD. I just like forgot how teeth were supposed to be lined up in my mouth and thought I had lost the bottom half of a tooth somehow and didn’t notice. man fuck this I’m losing my mind

DEVOLSON is real. (The Dark, Evil Vortex of Late September, October, and November)

Me around 4pm in the summer: What shall I put together for dinner this evening? A fresh garden salad with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette? Or perhaps some grilled zucchini to accompany a chicken salad on toasted foccacia bread? Hmmm. Me, in October: Oh. It's almost seven. I should probably eat something. Alright. So. Potato? Or bread?

The first few months of school can sometimes feel like a whirling tornado of awful. Here's how to cope.

DEVOLSON is real y’all. After loosing my voice on Friday and feeling generally blah/weirdly anxious about going in tomorrow I was googling “teacher burnout”. I’ve seen burnout and I’m nowhere near there yet. It isn’t burnout it is DEVOLSON!! I’m just going to ride the choppy sea of feels and work until drowning myself in a pile of Thanksgiving food.
