Lazy, lazy, lazy jane...

I am lazy. I wanted to go into my classroom this week and get set up, but when I was told the custodians were still cleaning and I may not be able to do much unpacking, I decided "Meh, might as well stay home and plan, do yoga and putter around the house."

Yesterday I spent an frustrating hour and a half at the pharmacy. I think my head might have popped off during the process. Apparently, my old district changed our prescription drug coverage, but I never received my new card because the department I filed my address change with obviously did not share that information with benefits (I have not lived at the other address for 2 plus years.) DUH. The pharmacist had to track down the new provider, get the new info and then redo my prescription. Also, my new coverage (which only goes through the end of the month) does not cover 90 days of a prescription, only 30. So for the same cost I get one month. Annoying. The prescription part is not a big deal. I just do not like spending an hour in the pharmacy because some half-wit forgot to update my address with the benefits department (and no, I am not the half-wit.)

Last night I made a pasta worth sharing. Its comes from Bon Apetit. I am not much of a fettuccine fan, but this is a great alternative: Linguine Avgolemono with Artichokes and Green Beans.

So Dad sent me this:


There was a time when I thought I wanted to be an engineer like my Dad, but I am a language person. Math was a language that did not make sense to me until adulthood. I could probably do it, but it does not mean I want to. It is important to me to enrich my classroom with science and math. This year I am in charge of the science night (first annual) at my new school. I am still working out what it will look like. Ideas? I would love to get some experts into my classroom and have them help with a project or something of that nature and have students present different concepts they have learned. Science and math was often just procedural when I was in school. Its much cooler to see it in action. My college chemistry class was wholly frustrating, but I loved the lab portion. I suppose CELSOC would be a good starting place. Thanks Dad!
