Thanks, Susan. It’s definitely a challenging time for teaching. I’m planning on retiring in a year or two, so don’t really care all that much about getting great at the technology. Still, it needs to get easier.

I enjoyed the Sue Miller book. It just got a little slow in the second half, but still a very good story.

I’m going to have to take a week off of the blog. I just can’t find time for much but work right now. I pray things get easier because I can’t keep this up. I think I have a copy of Hidden Valley Road here, but haven’t yet tried it. I think the idea of a lot of science was unappealing to me.

I enjoyed Mina, too. Hopefully, I’ll get to a review soon.

I was just checking out standing desk tops. After a week sitting in front of a computer ALL day, my back is not happy!

The lesson planning is very time consuming and keeping kids engaged while they’re all in different places has been a real challenge. And then there’s sitting in front of a computer ALL day. It’s exhausting. Thanks for the good vibes.

It was a rough week. I think I’ll be MIA around the blog for a week or two.

I’m anxious to hear what you think about A Knock at Midnight. I thought it was fantastic in a devastating way. It really made me want to get involved.

I’m listening to more interesting nonfiction right now- Hidden Valley Road. Have you read it? Yikes. A family of 12 children, 6 of whom have schizophrenia.
