Weekly Update 56

Hey there everyone and welcome back to my website. I am excited to announce… I am uploading on time! What? Thought I might say something else instead? Yeah, me too.

This week was way too short and way too long. I spent most of it failing to teach ten- and eleven-year-olds how to write essays. Some are getting it, but others are struggling. Hard. They never warned me about that feeling of failure when I was in school to become a teacher. “Teacher School,” if you will. I am so passionate about writing, yet I can’t teach it. It is frustrating for both me and the kids.

This weekend I did something crazy: nothing. Absolutely nothing. I watched Howl’s Moving Castle, and that was the height of my activity. What a movie. Top five for my life I assure you. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend you find a copy, light a candle, and sip on something warm while you do. It is the epitome of comfort movies for me. For most people, actually.

I haven’t played a video game in awhile now, and I feel a little guilty. I spent most of my time on Tik Tok today and I am trying to convince myself it wasn’t an entire waste. It was. The sun is gone, my dog needs to be walked, and I haven’t eaten dinner. After all of that I am going to read though. Read and pretend that time stops for me. Just a little.

Ok, back to work doing nothing. See you on the other side adventurers.
