I looked up and it’s 11:40 pm, so this one is going to have to be a quickie.

I had a mostly great day yesterday. I got next week’s assignments posted for my classes (still far behind where I want to be), and I went to a writing workshop that was AWESOME and that I will blog about later.

Today–not so much. First, I had therapy, which is annoying because it’s therapy. I know some people love it, but I honestly don’t trust people who like therapy (#sorrynotsorry). Then, we had the guest speaker that I thought was coming at the end of this month but was today. Her talk went great, and the students were super into it, which is a world of yay. But I was also supposed to be Zoom-ing it, which is usually easy peasy. Except I was in a room I hadn’t been in before so was unfamiliar with the set up so we started late. Then, I screwed up the link so locked out my online students who were waiting to get into the event. And I also forgot to log into my Zoom account and make myself a host so I could manage all of the technical stuff while the speaker was speaking until she was about ten minutes into her presentation. So, you know. All of that.

But, like I said, the presentation was great, and the students dug it. I did manage to record the presentation so can share it with my online students that way, thankfully.

(Oh and last night I realized that I accidentally booked the late March speaker for the same day I’ll be at a conference so had to ask her to reschedule, gave her some dates, and she agreed to the preferred one. Yay! But I forgot to check if the space is available that day and IT IS NOT, so now I have to ask her to reschedule again. This semester can kick rocks.)

I did end on a good note, though. I went to visit a friend of mine who recently had surgery. She can’t walk so I asked if there was anything she wanted that she couldn’t get because it didn’t justify the delivery cost (like a Starbucks coffee). She requested a chocolate chip cookie. My plan was to get her one from the bakery down the street, but I was late leaving and then it started raining so I had to go change my shoes so was even later leaving. I got to the bakery two minutes before they closed and, miracle of miracles, the door was still unlocked. The display was empty, so I asked if they had cookies and they did. So I got my friend two. She was ecstatic, so I am very glad I was able to do something nice for her.

This is probably riddled with typos, so I apologize, but it’s 11:52 so I have to hit post on this bad boy to make the deadline for today.

Okay, I did give it a quick proofread so it’s now 11:54, so I really am hitting post.

Wait, forgot to give it a title. And now I’m hitting post.
