Last school year was a bear for us all. We taught remotely, we taught combinations of remote and in-person, we taught multiple groups on different days, and we taught in person. We were told 6-feet was very important until there were too many kids in school to do 6-feet, then 3-feet became important. And let's see, how many first days did we have? Well, I quit counting so, I'm not really sure anymore! Thank goodness for summer! We have 8 weeks of summer break, and it's been a little more than a month now. When people ask what I've done, I say nothing. Glorious nothing. So I have done the following: watched TV read napped spent untold hours on social media lunched with friends played with the grandkids went on lots of long walks with Ron and lots of no-brain needed things ;) I focused on all those good nothing things that there just never seems to be enough time for during the school year!  But doing nothing isn't quite right. More tangible things have slipped into...

For those of you who like to count something about your food, this site has some great numbers.       Look at these view numbers! Always amazes me when I get a Slide Share update and I see numbers in the 10,000s for views.               Worked on the alphabetizing game started the other day. NOT finished yet ;) Started a new book: Adrenaline [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="314"] Adrenaline[/caption]    

I did write while at the beach. Internet connection at the hotel was TERRIBLE. :/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today we went to the beach early, then walked to downtown. We stopped in every little (or big) shop and browsed, ate lunch on some patio at some grille (can't remember the name but they had great food) and walked back. I've got two books going. I started the Silo Series by Hugh Howey.  I'm in book 1, Wool.  Easy reading. The Abyssinian Proof  by Jenny White features a detective named Kamil and is set in the Ottoman Empire. Took a bit to get into it, but it's grown on me.

or is it 40. I couldn't decide to count the the weekends or not, but I wanted to use the time to get back in the habit of blogging and thought this would the be perfect time to do it. So, for habits sake, I'm going to count the weekends! Last week was a work week. There are so many things that have to be done that just don't happen when the students are there. I don't ever want to sound like I don't love most every minute that I'm with students. I do. So many things pile up though: series needing new call numbers, books to process, books to fix, weeding, shifting, book room, deleting lost materials and that doesn't even touch lesson plans and materials. I couldn't believe the amount of things we got through last week and still have so much left to do. But, today is the first day of summer, and while I'll have to address the left overs at some point, we are going to the beach. I've got items for the library to cut out on the drive and of course bo...
