Welcome back!
Three questions 😊 (#sol25 Day 1/31)
Just the essentials (#sol24 Day 29/31)
A skiing morning, Whipped around by snow and rain. Napping afternoon.
It’s true! My phone told me so! (#sol24 Day 28/31)
Anemia wins today and I am totally tapped out. A slow morning stroll with the loaner pooch is the extent of my available output, so up the road we went. Of course I took some pictures. What’s that? Oh, sure, I’ll show ‘em to ya. Here’s one of a resilient tree, hanging on through years... Continue Reading →
Check your batteries! (#sol24 Day 26/31)
I woke up to a 49°F house this morning. Don’t get me wrong, I would much rather prefer to be too cold than too hot, I sleep with my windows cracked open all year round, and I am always equipped with cozy hats and layers but 49° was a chilly entrance to this Tuesday. Plus,... Continue Reading →
Par for the course (#sol24 Day 24/31)
This morning was 53°F and partly sunny. Roads were dry, breeze was warm, blue skies were poking through, and no outer layers were required. Louis the dog, who I get to hang with for the next week, went for a backyard stroll with me and we had this as our backdrop: As we walked up... Continue Reading →
Bring on the books!(#sol24 Day 22/31)
I did a thing. 😬 I bought the gooseneck kindle holder and remote page turner setup. And do you know what? It is just as magical as I dreamed it would be! All cozied up in bed, hands tucked in so they’re not freezing or cramping, and just clicking the little button to turn page... Continue Reading →

In my opinion, the intentional cognitive load of... Continue Reading →
A late but worthy celebration (#sol24 Day 14/31)
I missed National Nap Day. I know. Booooooo! Hopefully you celebrated it on the 11th but I just found out about it today, and today turned out to be the perfect day for me to celebrate this important national day of observance. “But, Kristina, you had student-led conferences all day today and you taught hot...

My words are gone (#sol24 Day 13/31)
I'm tired. My brain has left the building before the end of my contract day. Since I am left holding nothing inspirational to share with the slicing community today, I'll leave my daily literary smiles in the hands of the experts, aka My Students... Here's one: See that? It's a whale shark. Yep. They're the... Continue Reading →
No, thank you (#sol24 Day 11/31)
To Whom It May Concern, As of today, I am no longer interested in this whole SPRING AHEAD! situation. No, thank you. I am canceling my auto renewal. I’ll be awaiting the prompt return of my missing hour of sleep, my alert first and second graders, my morning light, my cozy evenings, and my sense... Continue Reading →
