My computer is not charging and I don't know why. This is annoying and frustrating.

Not only is it a late west coast game, it's on Apple TV. Ugh. I can't stay up for this, I gotta go to bed. I have an Orff workshop tomorrow.

Day 114 Let there be light. #enproject365in2026

Anytime I tell someone at work my cart countdown, they’re always like, “But aren’t there [insert # here] days of school left?” I’m like, look, this is my cart countdown. I’m taking a personal day, we have a SIP day, I have a music PD day, this is how many more days I AM ON A CART.

Day 113 Sitting backstage while no one noticed. 🤷‍♀️ #enproject365in2026

Today's Beatles song is Old Brown Shoe, released in 1969 and is available on Past Masters. It was written by George Harrison and originally released as the B-side to The Ballad of John and Yoko. #BeatlesSongADay2026 youtu.be/OQ4kZOg1poE?...

This has been the worst rehearsal ever. And now we’re all sitting but the man behind me spilled his drink where I sit on the riser so I can’t sit. So I was standing on the side but I couldn’t really see. So I’m just sitting backstage.

I had such an exhausting day, I can’t believe I still have to sit through a 2-hour meeting and a 2 1/2 hour rehearsal.

Today's Beatles song is Fixing a Hole, released in 1967 on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It's a tribute to marijuana. #BeatlesSongADay2026 youtu.be/UPBd8eHQqIw?...

I haven’t worn the jeans I’m wearing today since at least September. I’m SWIMMING in them. And they’re even already a size smaller than my most recent size. A good problem.

This morning, I walked by a teacher and we were the only ones in the hallway. I said good morning to her and she said nothing back. It IS possible she didn’t hear me, but I highly doubt it, no one else was around. But also, she didn’t initiate one either!

Can’t park in my parking spot at school because the Scholastic Book Fair truck is in the way. I thought the book fair was next week.

I don't have to tune ukuleles this morning!

I put this new power strip (more like a cube) in my bedroom so I can have my desk (bed?) lamp, fan, and phone charger all plugged in at the same time and there are indicator lights all over it. It’s on, it’s grounded, it’s protected. And the lights are bothering me while I’m trying to fall asleep!

Cubs win!!!!!!!

I was probably complaining about someone not listening to me, can't remember exactly what it was, and a friend of mine said, "If Elizabeth is saying it, it's something that needs to be said!" Biggest and best compliment of my life.

OMG, JD just made my mom's toe truck joke. Actually, I think it was my Papa's. The ultimate dad joke.

Well, that bunt just worked the best that a bunt can work. Nice work, Cubs.

Sorry for my rants tonight. They've been building up and I just had to let them out.

Seiya!!

Nico!!!!

Sharing an office with the health teacher & the 3 science teachers, I am reminded every day why I should have been able to keep my classroom over the science teachers last year. I have way more equipment (and heavier, clunkier stuff) & it's so hard to lug around, even when I try to keep it simple.

I become more and more annoyed with our gen ed science teacher every day. She acts like a know-it-all. I can sense that the health teacher is getting annoyed with her, too. Plus, she is taking up all of my friend's time (4th gr teacher) and going in to talk to her about who knows what all the time.

Walked in a run!

Today's Beatles song is I'm a Loser, released in 1964 on Beatles for Sale. John Lennon was influenced by Bob Dylan while writing this song. (oh wait, THIS is my song.) #BeatlesSongADay2026 youtu.be/f70Z3cvrQd0?...

I feel like April is crawling by at a January pace.

One of my students was wearing an Idaho sweatshirt today, but the "I" fell off. So it just said, "DA HO."

I texted someone a happy birthday message today and she texted back, "Thanks Beth!!" I have NEVER gone by Beth. In fact, I've never gone by ANYTHING other than Elizabeth.

🤣😂🤣

Today's Beatles song is How Do You Do It, released in 1995 on Anthology 1. They reluctantly recorded it but convinced George Martin to release Love Me Do as their debut single instead. Written by Mitch Murray & released by Gerry & the Pacemakers in 1963. #BeatlesSongADay2026 youtu.be/rrqG61MIDaE?...

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙

I had nothing but alone time this weekend and I’m still not ready to start the week. I feel a lot better about it than last week though.

Good Lord, I hate text groups where nothing is accomplished.
