February 11, 2014

Most of my day today was spent working on storybooks. I made a whole bunch of progress, almost finishing another book. I also had a couple classes in the lab and helped out with second grade reading groups. My first group had a bunch of newspapers and they were supposed to look for words with 'oi' and 'oy'. Fun fact: words using those letter combinations are not very popular in newspapers. The kids became pretty frustrated and at one point I had to take away their highlights, which they were supposed to use to highlight the words they found, because they were instead using them to highlight everything, and draw on each others newspapers. It was rough.

And that was really all I did at work today. The day flew by actually. Oh, I also got a few Valentine's, and two second graders claimed me as their father. It was weird. And then they were hanging on me like a jungle gym. Also weird.

When I got home, rather than read, I started to work on pipe cleaner flowers. I worked on them off and on throughout the night and called it good when I made it somewhere right after twenty. Whatever number that was, it felt like a good number. And my fingers and wrists were tired. I also played a little BF4 (which I'm playing a little everyday this month because you get a free battlepack every day that you play a match), caught up on my DVR, read some stuff online, and watched some YouTube videos. For dinner I made an egg sandwich, which was kind of an omelet until I put it between toast. I've never successfully made an omelet before. I'm also considering giving up eggs because I am halfway through an article about research showing how smart and empathetic chickens are. I have been eating a bunch of eggs recently but before that it had been a really long time. Maybe I could switch to local, small farm eggs.


Anyway, now it is late and I am tired.
