some several things
1. The Faculty Learning Community I'm a part of has some extra money to spend that would have been spent on lunch meetings before these plague times, so we can spend it on books. Does anybody have any recommendations for pedagogy books I might buy: teaching in general, teaching online, teaching writing, teaching literature, etc.?
2. A few days ago in the broad afternoon daylight, one of our resident owls sat on a limb directly in front of my study window, so I got to watch him for awhile. He is huge, like two feet tall.
3. There was a thing at work I've been trying to get accomplished for awhile now, and yesterday it happened!!!! Hurray for the Thing!
4. Fiona has been asking me a lot about my autoimmune disorders lately; I've been going through a flare up and not feeling well, and she's clearly been concerned about me. I'm trying to normalize "sometimes mommy doesn't feel well; it's not serious; I'm okay, but I just don't feel good, and I need to take it easy and I need help from you all." Last night she asked to snuggle with me at bedtime, and then she started crying and saying she was worried about me and hates when I feel bad. Oh, my heart. :( So that was kinda rough.

no subject
Like she asked me if I could give anyone my autoimmune diseases, and I said no that they weren't catching. And then she said, "Not even from a mommy to her baby?" And I was all, "Goddamn it you're smart." So then I had to explain that it was possible she could one day have an autoimmune disorder, but it wasn't something to be worried about, blah blah. *sigh*
