Somehow, during a pandemic, JO and I were still too busy to get our Christmas tree. My students were none to thrilled with this because they all want to see my tree. Thankfully, on Friday night we made our annual pilgrimage to Ricky's Flower Market to get a tree and walk home with it. (Side note, good thing we went when we did because we walked by there today and they had no more trees at all!) Three days later and the tree is still not decorated but that's mostly because finding Christmas lights is currently impossible!
Earlier this week, Breanna Stewart was named the Sportsperson of the Year! I can't wait to get my issue in the mail.
The Huskies played their first game of the season, after having to miss the first four games due to a Covid case in the program. I don't think college basketball should be happening but if it's going to happen, I'll definitely watch my Huskies. We have a really young and really talented team this year and they put on quite the show in the first game!
In other news, Massachusetts is not doing well. Last week we built field hospitals and this week we cancelled elective surgeries. Our governor seems to have given up and the ramifications are going to be quite bad.
There were some pretty moments in the apartment this week and JO and I had some things to celebrate, and of course, we celebrate with bubbles!
On Sunday, the temps were in the mid 50s, making it a perfect day for a picnic at Prospect Hill Park.
I'm going to end with this post I saw the other day. It's very, very true. Teachers are being asked to do impossible things and they aren't getting enough support. If you know a teacher, check in on them. They are probably going through all the feels and still trying to face kids each day with a smile and it gets hard at this time of year in a normal year. I definitely was feeling overwhelmed this week and yesterday I had to close the computer and walk away.
