Friday Five – TGIF fo’ real!


  1. Oooh boy, Friday! I am very very excited about that. After today, one more week. One full day and four half days of testing. I am just ready to be DONE.
  2. I am really proud of my students; they’ve had a long term project since March and it’s due today. I was terribly nervous that they weren’t working on them but most of them got them in! Granted, I told them I’d be nice and accept them on Monday. But still, they did some good work.
  3. I keep forgetting then remembering we have a meeting tonight for the homebrew club. Not that I mind; once all matters of business are handled, we do drink beer wherever we’ve chosen to meet. Tonight we are going to a place that we went A LOT back in, oh, 2022. That summer we went because they had a nice cool indoor area and a lot of good beer on tap. They’ve gotten bigger now and subsequently raised their prices. They’re “making their own beer” now; in quotes because they’re taking the easy route and ordering pre-made wort and then boiling and adding hops so, really, only doing half the job. But we try to patronize all local places, if possible.
  4. It’s been quite the day since I wrote the above. I got a call from my dad letting me know that my mom went to the hospital last night. Apparently she had a seizure. This is not normal for her so it’s a little weird. She passed out then came to, then they decided to go to the hospital. She’s still there for observation so I am hoping and praying it was an isolated incident. I’m not entirely convinced it’s not a reaction to a drug. I’ll report back when I know more but it’s a little stressful.
  5. That said, I’m heading home after I sub sixth period. I am at the end of what I can – or want – to handle and it being Friday before finals week, I just think I need to be home…having a beer!

One thought on “Friday Five – TGIF fo’ real!

  1. Your mom’s health scare sounds just that- scary. I hope she makes a full recovery and it was “just” a reaction to medicine (because then she could stop taking the medication and she wouldn’t have to worry). So glad it’s Friday- your plans tonight sound fun. I’m glad the students’ writing project went well. Have a great weekend!
