I’m going to be obnoxious and quote myself from last week’s post because I did exactly what I said I was going to do:

Well, if you noticed, I didn’t talk about any of my creative goals because I did absolutely nothing this week. No painting. No guitar practice. I didn’t even cook much as we survived on leftovers from the weekend. Next week I am going to make an effort to do one creative thing a day. I need the outlet.

Well, I made the effort. I succeeded. And I am friggin’ proud of myself!

After work, I pulled out the paints every day and just dabbled. Here’s the week’s collection…

I’m writing this post on my phone while waiting for my mom at the hospital because it’s better than mindlessly scrolling social media.

Mom’s having surgery to help relieve some of the nerve pain she’s been having down both arms. 

I’m trying not to worry, but that’s par for the course at this age, isn’t it?

I’m not sure what is happening, but time seems to be flying by at warp speed.

I’m back on contract at the college this week, and I’m just trying to stay on top of my active projects and class prep.

Tomorrow I’m giving a presentation on how bad teaching hurts good teachers, and it’s really my way of venting about the current culture of education. I feel stuck between student apathy and a system that doesn’t seem to care about actually educating them. It’s stressful, exhausting, and somewhat scary.

But you know what, I refuse to let work infiltrate every aspect of my life, so enough about that!
