Today is the day!! At noon EST today the ceremony is scheduled to begin and the past four years of the reign of the cheeto can be in theory behind us. The scars and damage done by this administration will not heal quickly nor will his ilk fade away overnight, but now we can move forward. It won't change the fact that were still under vaccinated, people are still dying, and piece of shit racists still walk among us unfortunately. But hey, we will rejoin the Paris Accord, hopefully provide stimulus to more people, and not be subjected to blatant lies and spoiled tantrums on a daily basis. So there's that. Of course there are still 6 hours left so who knows what kind of bullshit might happen.
Yesterday was rough for me. I ended up with 19 students total. BIG class with varying skill levels. Luckily it is an engaged, excited group of people. I was able to work with them and have fun even if it was draining and tiring. 9 of them will be in today's class, then we go back up to 15 on Thursday. Today should be smoother. We shall see. I didn't finish until nearly 6pm last night. Ate dinner (chicken soup B made), watched a tiny amount of TV, and literally collapsed in bed.
B's friend had their bearded dragon pass yesterday. Chief was 13 years old. Very sad day. It's always sad when you lose a companion you've had for nearly half of your life. Plus in recent times this person has lost their grandfather, another animal companion, and dealt with testing positive. B tried to offer support but with distancing and mask restrictions, it's hard. Still, she was able to give him some of the soup and offer what condolences she could. People don't realize I think how important pets are to keeping a solid state of mind right now. The cats drive me nuts, but I couldn't imagine not having them during this last year. It would have been much worse to handle.
Three hours until class starts. I'm hungry. Maybe make a nice egg sandwich.
