Progress & Protests

Jimmy is home! All went as planned at the hospital and we were home by noon. His pain was tolerable and under control yesterday with pain meds and hopefully things will keep getting better. They did say that day 2 is the worst so once he gets through today, he should be feeling a bit better every day. 

Last night I went up before Jim and didn't hear him come bed. However, I did hear him snoring away around 1:00. He can't sleep on his side and has to be propped and it isn't conducive for me at all. In the end, he went to the spare bedroom around 2:30 because every time I would fall asleep, he would snort really loudly and scare the shit out of me. I feel bad but I need my sleep. He understood. 

School is already a shit show. Apparently the ICE protest that the kids had planned for the 27th (they're planning on walking out during 3rd bell) got rescheduled for today. Guess why? Because everyone heard about it. Hmm...seems these kids who are supposed to be keeping their mouths shut can't keep their mouths shut. Oh, and one of my former students (we wrote him off an IEP in October) posted on social media that he was going to "shoot up" all the kids who walked out. When that was brought to the attention of our 3 assistant principals not one of them knew how to handle the situation. Our union president had to take things into his own hands to go to central office and inform them of the situation. So now the police are involved. We have an emergency meeting at 7:10 apparently to tell us how to deal with the kids who are walking out. I'm not stopping them. You do you kids...it's a scary situation with everything happening surrounding ICE right now. Ugh. 

In other news, I got a series of emails yesterday from our study hall monitor. Apparently kids were using my absence to act the fool. Love that I have to deal with this and people don't know how to act and/or do their job. I'll be laying into the little fuckers that can't behave and grow up and schooling the SH monitor on how to do her job. Ugh again. 

Dinner tonight: I'm going to make a crispy lemon chicken dish in the air fryer with rice and broccoli. I made taco pie last night and it was so good. 

Holy shit it's going to be near 70 today! I hate this in between weather because I don't know how to dress. 

And I guess that's all I've got. I did have something else to talk about but of course it fell out of my brain. I'm sure when I head upstairs to finish getting ready I'll remember. Annoying. 

Well, I'd best get going since I need to get to work and brew a cup of joe before the meeting. Later!
