In honor of Chaia, I purchased…

!!!!

It will arrive the first week of December. I also will be getting a new snazzy ergonomic chair…which someone should help me build. Hint. Hint.

Meanwhile, the rain is making my hands ache, ache, ache. Ouch. Pray for the rain to stop–it should on Wednesday and it will either rain or snow on Thursday (snow! snow! snow!) My elbow is killing me but I must blog. Glad I listened to Chaia’s advice and purchased something to help me while I’m on the computer but I still can’t seem to get it together to use my exercise machine which lives in my bedroom and doubles as a cat bed.

Friday, my friend Esther invited me over to another friend’s house, my whole Christian crew basically. I will be traif-ing out for the first time on Shabbat and that’s making me a little uncomfortable. Thanksgiving I’m spending at my friend Edwina’s in Brooklyn (hooray!) for an intimate affair since only my sister and I are invited.

Have to go run to Staples and the supermarket. Scratch the prayers for snow and a drought, I need my healthy check to come in the mail!

Oh right, super teacher news because my students will be mucho spirited due to the fact we have Thursday and Friday off, I have decided that Tuesday and Wednesday will be review days. Review days sound boring and they usually are when I’m not teaching them! I organized it so that Tuesday is “Team Olympics” day where five teams compete in five events to win and Wedensday is “Team Jeopardy” day where the five teams finish each other off. The loser team (team with the least points) gets homework over the Thanksgiving vacation. Meanwhile, I will be calculating the points across sections (I teach four sections of 11th grade) and the winning section gets a free homework grade for everyone!
