My wonderful friend Lola sent me a video message today… and it couldn’t have been at a more opportune time. Today was just a bad day. Not only did I feel ugly… all day, but work was just a beast for several reasons.

When I got home tonight, she had sent me a message, and what can I say? She always knows just what to say and when, without me ever having to mention it.

Well… today was even harder… I had a meeting after school, and I had a “get together” with about 40 of my “closest friends” ( ) after work.

I thought it was hard to go in front of my students without a face on, but going in front of my peers and friends looking like a slightly broken out teenager was quite something else.

I am not excited about day 3. Thats all I’ve got to say about that.
