Today started out a little rough, finding my hackles a little too easy to raise, a little too touchy maybe even as a linguist I might even possibly describe it as bitchy hehehe Phew!

So took a little quiet time in the midst of my various storms, sorting through to see which ones I could dismiss. I read once that the way Turks live around the whirling dirvishes is they just let 'em whirl... could make for appropos advice for today. I decided my neighbor teacher who has missed a whopping 30 days of work due to various "illnesses" is... none of my business. Dismissed. I decided my husband's choice of employment that doesn't pay what I would like it to is nevertheless employment and geez he says nothing to me about my choice to teach instead of doing something more lucrative is... something I can just accept as it is. I decided my mother's choice to take no part in my life nor in the lives of her grandchildren is... a situation over which I have been powerless my entire life. Maybe one of these days I'll give it over to God and leave it there. I decided that the astronomical debt resulting from a marriage with a credit fiend is something again that I cannot fix today and will just have to handle one day at a time. I decided that there are really only a few things on my plate just for today.

I hate being an emotional overeater. I really do.

Breakfast was a quick run to McDonalds for my usual. Lunch was quick, too... low-carb wrap with sliced beef and provolone and a pickle. No ideas for supper but we seem to have a surplus of hamburger. I'm so incredibly tired, exhausted from all the spinning my head's been making today.

And the kids... oh the kids... the natives were quite restless today despite their assigned quiz. I dread grading them judging from their apathetic postures. Maybe it was poor judgement on my part to administer a quiz the day they were nursing their sugar hangovers.
