My brain is mush right now. Between candidate interviews, teaching, lots of student appointments, and my kiddo deciding I'm not allowed to sleep, my brain is barely functioning. Here's what I'm focusing my limited energy on:

This post is going up late because... woo!, it was a day. I had several meetings, hosted a webinar, and needed to finish all the newsletters going out tomorrow. At least Thursday and Friday look to be a bit kinder to me, schedule-wise. Here's what's been going on:
It's that time of the year again where I go through more hand lotion than my wallet cares to think about. Our office is incredibly dry. Using my space heater (absolutely necessary), makes it drier. Throw in projects where I'm working with paper (common), and even more moisture leaves my skin. My knuckles look like they've been in a bar fight. I can feel my hands sigh with relief every time I apply more lotion. Here's what I've been working on:
It's frigid today but I was thrilled to walk in the cold because I was taking our kiddo to school after 4.5 days without childcare. That said, I'm thrilled the snow hit DC on a holiday weekend. We got to take her sledding. I lost track of how many times she screamed, "Again!" Here's what I'm working on:
I had a dentist appointment this morning. I followed that up by immediately drinking coffee. I always feel so bad for my teeth. I get them all nice and clean and then drown them in a hot, acidic beverage. But coffee is forever necessary. Here's what I've got going on:
Every time I go to write the year I keep chanting to myself "It's 2024. It's 2024." Usually it takes me a few weeks to stop writing the old year. So far, I've managed to get the date right every time. I'm patting myself on the back for that. Now that the holidays are over, here is what I'm working on:
Anyone else just trying to coast into the new year? I know I am. Here's what I am working on:
It's hard for me to believe that the year ends in three weeks. There are so many things I did not get to. Instead of fretting about that, I'm trying to let those worries go by reasoning that, if said things were truly important, I would have done them. It may be time to do a deep assessment of my to do lists and reconsider what actually needs to get done. Here's what I have been working on:
Some private high schoolers in Michigan were assigned an essay on evaluating websites. Apparently, their teacher referred to a page on our website as a resource for them. This is great! The downside is that they are abusing our online chat support service. We get one or two actual questions and then it devolves in to juvenile antics. Today was not the first time this has happened. It's a mix of fun and aggravating. On top of dealing with teenagers, here's what I'm working on:
At work, I tried something new today. I declared it a "loose ends" day. Instead of working on major projects, I just tackled all the little things I've had lingering on my to do list. It felt so good to finally get those off my plate. I think, if my schedule allows, I will try to do this once a month. Here's what else I'm working on:
