I&#8217;m not going to backdate this post because I believe in Transparency and Embracing One&#8217;s Mistakes, but know that I feel a bit guilty. I remembered I had a post to write last weekend, but then it was also Thanksgiving weekend and I was making food all afternoon&#8230; in the morning I went to watch a movie at the VIFF with Gloria, and then it was prepping for dinner. So here we are. It&#8217;s Thursday and I have a few minutes before lunch, where I have a little sort-of meeting. It&#8217;s been a hectic start to the school year in general. I&#8217;m not necessarily overworking myself, but the sheer drama of kids (and adults, to be honest) can be overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>Well, anyway. The flu took a lot out of me, by the way. Guess it&#8217;s my fault for not getting the shot all those years. When I was getting better I also went to see a concert. Fear and Dreams. I finally fulfilled my desperate grade 12 wish to see Eason live, and it was great like I had always imagined. Cute and wiggly and wholesome and spooky and bangin&#8217; songs. The best. I felt happy for a while. Gloria also enjoyed it. We went to see two movies at the VIFF, which was fun, and there&#8217;s another one (part of their regular programming, I think) coming up this weekend. It&#8217;s an excuse to get out there and take a break from our usual responsibilities, which is nice. We&#8217;re watching Farewell My Concubine, which was another grade 11\/12 obsession of mine. Gloria hasn&#8217;t seen it before, and it&#8217;s also the uncut version. Exciting.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s tough but I&#8217;m having fun. Hopefully everything will be fine. In the long run, yeah, probably, but I&#8217;m just hoping we can get through the day by day&#8230; and as long as I can help out one kid, it&#8217;ll be alright.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/64.media.tumblr.com\/9659326946b872b209664a34123220a4\/28073839a2a723de-67\/s1280x1920\/3cfce7509f8d40d2bc35bc3d92b58bce3b02affd.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u5bd2\u9732\u3002 Oops.
