Cellars

Yesterday did not go as planned either. I ended up shopping with my dear husband. We had fun. He bought pants. I bought art. All in all it was a good day.

One day I’m going to get the stay at home and do nothing pajama party, but it wasn’t to be this weekend.

Next weekend I’ll be at the Florida Romance Writers conference. We’re having a dinner cruise Friday night. Then Saturday it’s conference time. So I’ll sure next week I’ll be thankful to be at work and in routine.

Right now though I wish I had a nice cup of tea, a seat at the table and the ability to do nothing but read google news.

At least at work we are finally back to normal schedule. So I’ll settle in and get more things done. Last week we had extra work as the schedule was different. For the day job I teach duel enrollment students but last week there was no college classes for the students. This mean that they spend more time with us. Today i can get copies made, fill out paperwork and be ready in a more reasonable amount of time. So life should be great.

However again, I still wish I had that time with just quietness and a spot of tea. You can tell I’m from New England with this wish. I love coffee too, but tea settles me down in a different way. One day I’ll get to have these things again and it’s going to be great.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does dual enrollment teaching affect a teacher’s daily schedule?

Dual enrollment teachers follow a schedule tied to both high school and college calendars. When college classes are cancelled, dual enrollment students spend more time in the high school setting, creating extra workload and disrupted routines for teachers. On normal college schedule weeks, teachers can complete tasks like making copies and paperwork more efficiently, making the day feel more manageable and productive.

What is the Florida Romance Writers conference?

The Florida Romance Writers conference is a regional event for romance writers that includes social and professional programming. Activities can include a dinner cruise the Friday evening before the main event, followed by a full conference day on Saturday. It serves as a gathering opportunity for writers to connect, learn, and celebrate their work within the romance writing community.

Is tea or coffee better for calming down and relaxing?

According to personal experience shared by someone from New England, tea and coffee both have their place, but tea provides a distinct calming effect that coffee does not. While coffee is enjoyed for energy and flavor, tea is described as something that ‘settles’ a person in a different, more soothing way, making it the preferred choice for quiet, restful moments.
