And how are we all?
I’m learning to love Wednesdays again! When I first moved to Savannah, for the first 2 and a half years, my Wednesday was lovely. 3 classes. I got so much done on Wednesday! I did! All of my lesson planning, copies, extra stuff. I typically ATE OUT! because I had time to go out and grab something. It was lovely.
And then there were changes and my new admin was jealous of every minute any of us had, so she made sure we were packed so tight, there was no time to pee. Add to it admin pets who thought any spare minute of mine (to pee) was flex time for them. I came to very loud words with one in particular and we had a very unprofessional screamfest in the hall, much to the delight of the students. I’m going to be honest – that is one bitch I don’t miss!
But I digress!
Here, in my new abode, I have THREE classes on Wednesday. All three are late, so I have this large block of time in the morning to lesson plan, make copies, deal with life, love, and the pursuit of happiness.
We have a 3 day weekend coming up! The ‘rents are making ‘Come to visit you’ noises and I would like to have the house in some semblance of order come October, when I have a FOUR day weekend and health willing, will probably come. This does NOT mean, everything unpacked and what not, but I would like to have the furniture in place, rooms set up, pictures hung, and all boxes in the garage. Right now, my cave, dining room, family room, and living room are garage overflows. Meh! Spawn and I are targeting the labeled #1 and #2 boxes (Important and Important but not AS important) to get unpacked.
So my weekend project is getting one room (my cave) in working order so I can write and rip albums and get things started. Also clean my room, my bathroom, my closet floor and the kitchen. That’s a never ending project!
I have found both of my kindles. Yay. My fire refuses to go online and has dumped ALL of my books. What GOOD is it? It won’t do anything but wants me to talk to Alexa. No. My old kindle still works, but it won’t go online. At least I can add books to it manually. Just not the things I’ve obtained through Amazon! Might be time for a new Kindle.
Speaking of Kindles, it’s time to get back ON the reading wagon. I DID read in early July – just didn’t get it posted, but I’ve really not read anything in a month. 2 books were hardbacks and I’ve packed them and I can’t remember the name OR the author. (I bought them at a comic convention!) Yeah, they were THAT memorable. \
My archive here is at 89.1% full. Another project will be deleting pictures. I’m starting with the clothes, followed by the ‘scenic’ stuff (vacay, etc) followed by personal. Just a heads up. Some Mancandy might go as well. I remember when we could load pictures from our harddrives and didn’t have to load them into an archive here. I think this was a way to get us into buying packages for this blog space. Sorry. not doing it.
There! That’s plenty of gratuitous Richard. I know several have told me Richard mancandy is all that’s for them, but I have Richard on here all the time, so it doesn’t hurt to look at what the world has to offer.
NOTICE – I said just LOOK!!!!
Sheesh!

You are making great progress!! I am one of those who love (would) love Richard all the time here so please no deleting any of his pics. I wouldn’t mind some David Tennant, Gerard Butler here and any hunky chunky guys in our age bubble that you like.
Such a wonderful diverse Richard pics here
And I just want to say thank you for always being kind and compassionate to all your commenters. I never have to walk on eggshells here …
zeesmuse said:
I post Richard all the time, so ManCandy Monday is simply a buffet!
No, I will NOT be deleting any Richard pics. Only the doubles – I do have some.
This is my garden. It’s my NICE place. Everyone should feel safe here.
Michele Marsh said:
Yup a worldly buffet!! Will add so happy that you are feeling the love of your kiddoes again after last school year. Makes a world of difference too.
I LOVE your garden.. but since not all places model your garden I appreciate your garden especially…

I am SO enjoying my new students. It’s not perfect, I do have some that are challenges, but so far, no name calling, no nastiness and mostly – NO FIGHTING!!!! We get stuff done and we have fun. So much fun!!! This week, I’m sitting in the floor with my olders with a fake drum kit (Crash cans!) and having the BEST time!!! This is such a joy!!!
Michele Marsh said:
That is sooooo wonderful to hear and I know much much needed after last year from hell. It also helps your overall health too to feel appreciated and not spending every minute breaking up fights or being called horrible names by pint size humans..
Nothing is ever perfect in any sphere of life… perfectionism is a delusion too
do the best you can and convey kindness and compassion to people… ignore negative and toxic people…

Well, my blood sugar today is very high – 348. BUT I took it after breakfast (an onion bagel) so I’m praying it was really closer to 200!
Michele Marsh said:
Yeah that is probably the project you should focus on. Did you find your pill case? Take Stabby stabby last night?
zeesmuse said:
I found my pill case. I need to fill it and get it in my purse. I forgot Stabby Stabby last night AND we had pizza.
Michele Marsh said:
ummm well yummy on the pizza…
zeesmuse said:
I love pizza!!!
Michele Marsh said:
Me too!!! that and pasta are my favs anytime!!
zeesmuse said:
I have to stay away from pasta. Pizza is my big big luxury.
Michele Marsh said:
chocolate is my downfall… lately I have been crashing and burning on it…
zeesmuse said:
Spawn had a stash of kisses. he has it no more.
Michele Marsh said:
Mine is more Snickers bars, choc cupcakes, actually anything chocolate I can get my hands on…. Oreo milkshakes in a real pinch..
zeesmuse said:
I want pure, unadulterated milk chocolate. My son will push dark chocolate on me – better for diabetics – but gimme the Hersheys!!! Or Dove!!!
Michele Marsh said:
Yep… see the worse I feel the more chocolate I eat… This year has been a lot of chocolate
dededotti said:
HAPPY that your happy.
zeesmuse said:
I’m just ecstatic!! Bunnies are starting to flow. I think Monday, Spawn and I will picnic and I’ll spend a few hours writing!!
Michele Marsh said:
I’ll second that emotion!!!

I am glad your Wednesday is now beautiful for you and glad you are getting everything in order. Sometimes slowly isn’t a bad thing. During rushing periods one tends to get screwed up now and then. i remember when Wednesday meant something to me. it meant the work week was winding down, now, since I do not work one day just blends into the other and a lot of times i forget what day it is. duh! Thank you for an enjoyable post of posting and pictures of the ever gorgeous Richard. I like the way they were interspersed with different characters and bits of text. Kept it very interesting. Enjoy banging on your homemade drum kit, actually it sounds like fun:) and yes you do have a lovely garden where nice things can grow.
zeesmuse said:
I forget the day in the Summer!!! LOL!
I was talking with my AP and she said – there is so much WONDERFUL noise coming out of your room and we come down to look! It looks like they’re having fun!
They are! So am I!!! Such a turn around!
Mezz said:
Oooh, lots of lovely Richard, we can never have too much! 😘
Things like unpacking still to be done, uncooperative kindles and WP data quota are outweighed by the happiness that shines through in your post Zee, I’m so glad you are enjoying your teaching again.
