The Cigar Life

Monday, June 16, 2025 Long day. Spent a good chunk of it in the emergency room with Mom. She's okay but will be in the hospital for a few days.  She's now got a diagnosis which is a huge relief. I didn't get home from the hospital until about 7:30 p.m. Dale and I were both starving and went to The Lowbrow for dinner. I had a couple Old Fashioneds and then a Macanudo when we got home.  Today marks the end of the first full week of the rest of my life. I'm getting out of full time teaching and my last day was a week ago. It would be an understatement that I'm really excited.                                  

Wednesday, February 12, 2025 It continues to be incredibly cold - single digits. At school, the kids have had indoor recess every day so far this week, the moon is full (today), conferences tomorrow after a full day with kids, and no school Friday for students but I'm doing conferences all that day. Plus we're having our Valentine's party tomorrow since the kids are off on Valentine's Day. This has all made for some really keyed up kids.  Cigar after work and then dinner with Dale at The Lowbrow since we won't be able to do our regular Thursday night out due to conferences tomorrow. Still pretty frigid out. All in all I think I'm pacing myself rather well.
