Our district finally caved this year and gave us the whole week off for “Fall Break.” I’m glad to not have to come up with legitimate lesson plans that work when 1/3 of the class is taken out of school early by their parents for the holidays.

I’m also glad to have the chance to get a cyst on my scalp officially taken care of.

A bit of minor surgery, five stitches, a lot of antibiotic goop, and a friendly doc who commented, “You must have your dad’s calm demeanor” at my apparently easy-going attitude towards medical procedures. Woot!
