Small victories










Despite being shot at and choked at my final lesson today, there were triumphs.

-getting up on time and out the door
-commuting for only 2 hours and not 2 ½ one way ( is it wrong to be thankful that the bus driver used the break-down lane and thus helped me be on time?)
-dealing with less behavioral disruptions
-having a student be honest and return something she had stolen
-avoiding being attacked by a cat despite stepping on its tail
-not having a sore throat
-getting home before 9 pm

-maybe getting to sleep before 1am? ;)
