Day 6!

Today was a really lovely day with my good friend who came to visit. Being alone up here can be really tough and having her visit has meant a ton.

We went to explore the mall and such a little further south and it was good just to wander around and catch up. This was followed by COLDSTONE, boardgames, and drinking wine and talking.

Us and our Coldstone.

The fact that it is March is completely irrelevant. Ice cream is marvelous always when nommed with friends.

Being super silly with our wine and kitchen adventures.

Many shenanigans have been had and I am happy about each and every one of them.

Day 5!

HFridays are, if course, Fridays and this predeposed to be good if only for the fact that they are followed by the weekend.

Today, however, was an exceptionally good Friday. My classes all went very well and I ended up having a lot of fun. My AP students are just as invested and dealing with as many FEELS during our docudrama as I was the first time around. In my other two classes we began a new writing competition and WOW did they engage. They writing round robin ground stories in a free write narrative style and so far they're wacky and highly entertaining! I'll find out in two more Fridays exactly what becomes of them...anyway, it was a great start to the lesson and made all of the learning that came after stay full of energy and be really productive. 

As if that wasn't enough, my good friend from home is visiting and we caught up over delicious BWW.

Hanging out and chatting! :)

I am very excited to have company in the tundra and am hopeful a good day and a bit of relaxing will do me good.

The only scary bit of the day was nearly getting too up close and personal with Bambi on the highway. Luckily there was only one deer and when I swerved my car stayed on the road. It felt like a miracle, for sure, since the deer came out of nowhere and was just bam! there in the middle of the highway.

Happy Friday indeed!
