Warning: rant ahead
So my neighbor came to pick up her dog and his stuff this afternoon. I watched him for free from Wednesday until this afternoon. You know what she gave me? Her thanks and a hug. I mean I wasn't expecting to be...

We have to do a bunch of pointless "paperwork" that means nothing in the beginning of the year--setting goals, writing a professional development plan, etc. No one looks at any of it for 9 months and then we have to update it all...

It is crazy. I started teaching in September 2001. That was the same month of 9/11. The level of state aid that the district received crashed and has never recovered. The district has always been creative about having alternative...

For real. The guy is rapidly deteriorating. I'm honestly surprised that his campaign allows him to speak in public in any form other than pre-recorded, scripted, and vetted video clips. I guess they *had* to let him do a rally...

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 50 degrees F and raining here at the Jersey Shore. Yuck.
I've been up since about 7 am. I can't say I've done anything particularly productive just yet but I'll get...

Well I will for as long as I can stand it anyway. It is running over an hour late which makes no sense because supposedly Trump was staying at Bedminster which is literally in New Jersey. 2 hours away from Wildwood max. I want to...

What's going on the dinner table tonight? Share with us!
In my continuing attempt to clear out the freezer I thawed some pieces of pork loin. I slow cooked them in the InstantPot with sauerkraut and some white wine I had hanging...

Whew. I've been checking it every couple of hours. The past 3 readings have been 101/73, 109/77, and 108/77. My pulse is back down into the 70s too. I'm impressed that just 5mg of Bystolic was able to get it under control so...

What a joke. I live in a solidly red county in NJ but the state overall is blue. Trump has no chance of winning this state in November. Aside from the fact that this is a blue state, people here have known what a scumbag Trump is...

I've been awake since about 7 am. I've had breakfast, taken Whiskey out, taken a...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It was reported yesterday that Trump's 18 year old son Barron would be one of the delegates to nominate his father in the Florida primary. It was supposed to be him with his other siblings except Ivanka.
I...

What's going on the dinner table tonight? Do tell!
I'm making homemade pizza. This one is not your typical pizza as it doesn't have red sauce. It is a pizza with proscuitto, balsamic onions, thyme, garlic, and mozzarella cheese....

I recently posted that it was about this time that they were going to be issued. It took a couple more days but they are live now on the staff portal. I am now on step 21 (despite the fact that it will be year 24) and base salary...
