I LOVE new Poppy

Great-aunt Poppy, yup

and I LOVE the notes

Connor: (In amazed awe) I know why they call her 'great'!

Orwella likes her and helps!

Wow, Emma plays hardball

never mess with healer types

"What is this shit?"

"That's empathy... it means you're learning to think how others feel, even imagine how YOU would feel if you were them"

"Take it back, it's horrible!"

Which is Dirk's life experience the last few years 🙂

ahahahah

Yup

LUPE started making grumble noises in the back of my head

hihi!

I'm trying to grade papers while I'm here, so forgive lags.

NP, Rahne!

wen does your break start?

Wednesday afternoon.

the kids will be useless mon/tues

Yup. Lots of staring out windows

D, for Lupe!

that's cute

and I don't even like rodentia

But rats are important to gnawers!

YUP

And unfortunately, because I was kind of useless this past week, I'm behind on my lesson plans and need to RUSH through three things before the kids vanish on break. sigh

Hi Rahne!

I almost feel bad for distracting you Rahne, like I'm a bad influence. Then I feel kind of cool, because I'm a bad influence! Lowers shades

OH! SANTA PARADE JUST CAME BY MY HOUSE!

nice!

Fire trucks and police cars and SANTA and a POLAR BEAR waving from the Fire Chief's truck!

I don't recall them ever doing this in this town before!

Feeling kind of festive. Tree is up and decorated, most of the other decorating done...house is a bit of a mess, but well on the way to yuletide coziness. Fire in the fireplace, etc.

Nice!

I did decorating

Pazuzu did undecorating

he ate the christmas lights, alas
