Ugh. Just ugh. This is my kid's school district. I will keep saying DEI and standing up for students of color, disabled students, ELL, and lgbTqia+ students.

Here's some of our life in January.
Sharing an incredible woman in STEM. The government has ordered that women in leadership be removed from all online publications related to NASA. We exist. And we will continue to exist.

Dropped prime, and I only use Bluetooth speakers in my house. I do most of my grocery shopping at Aldi. Life is actually going pretty good without as much social media.

1. Write amounts I need in my planner, a week ahead.
2. Make breakfast, prep snacks, fill a 36oz. water bottle.
3. Eat breakfast.
4. AM snack and water bottle come with me. PM snack: fridge.
5. Lunch at home, grab PM snack.
6. Make dinner. Prep grains for next day.
I've encountered a lot of people with strong emotions in the last week. I'm telling myself two things: "Meet them where they're at" and "Let them". Everybody is fighting battles we don't know about. Responding with kindness and patience is the hard bit higher road to take.
