Disconnected things

• The downside to a half-decent school administration is that they actually read the lesson plans I turn in, which means I actually have to write them. Sigh. They're due Wednesday by noon, so of course I'm about 1/4 done with them at 9pm on Tuesday night. bleah.
  
• The obnoxious child about whose leaving I gloated is finally ACTUALLY gone. I'm thinking of framing the drop slip. This is horrible and mean-spirited on my part, but OMG she was making me crazy.
  
  • unfortunately, the inflationary addition I mentioned previously does not seem to apply equally to subtraction. 26 is not that much less than 27. Alas.
  
  
• We finally have the social studies curriculum. Yes, this is 2/3 of the way through October. No, we do not yet have the science curriculum. Argh.
  
• Doing my photocopying ahead of time makes my life easier in myriad ways. Not least of which being that when one of the two copiers breaks down at 7:45am, I do not flip the fuck out, because my morning copying is already done. Muahaha.
  
• I have mentioned this before. But eating breakfast has more of an effect on my outlook on life than I'd like. Hooray for cream of wheat, and the extra 10 minutes in the morning in which to eat it.
  
• OK, literacy and math plans written. Time to go to bed before 11pm for the first time in weeks and weeks.
