 I had such a bad brain day yesterday. I didn't want to do anything even thought it was my day off & I was trying to spend time with J. We spent 3 hours doing bleh stuff while I failed to pick something to do. I'm stuck at work so I thought I would make an 'I did' list. 

I did

• Block my friends hat & got her address. Now I just have to mail it. 
• Made breakfast, lunch & dinner for both days off. Even if it was cereal it counts. 
• Watched 2 episodes of Gotham with J. (We are in Season 3. J and I both just want Penguin & Nygma to kiss already! Like Penguin said This is Gotham. no one cares!)
• Washed the crockpot. 
• Did laundry. Thankfully it was sunny, if cold, so everything on the clothesline dried except 1 towel. 
• Was polite to my mom when she asked me what she could get us for christmas & then refused my gift ideas, because she wanted to 'give us something we need', not something we want like a game *grumble grumble* Does fun gifts end at adulthood or is this just my mother? 
• I got to work on time & without incident. 

Ok that was nice to get it listed out. The list isn't as long as I would like but thats ok. Now i'm going to try to nap and get some more spoons.

The fun gifts seem to end when people think we should grow up.

I'm now sixty and still wondering whether I should............

Grow up, that is! :o)

Never grow up more then you need too. I am reminded of John Green's nerd quote about enjoying things. My partner J and I are both huge Nerds, so we like a lot of 'fun kid stuff' ; ie. Comics based media, video games, anime & maker culture.

"Nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. Nerds are allowed to LOVE stuff, like, jump-up-and-down-in-your-chair-can't-control-yourself LOVE it. When people call people nerds, mostly what they're saying is, 'You like stuff,' which is not a good insult at all, like, 'You are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness" - John Green

It's why I was a good teacher (and I was a damn good teacher).

The best teachers are those that can connect with kids to teach them, so that makes sense. Did you teach a specific grade or subject?
