back in the classroom. built a utility cart to store my snacks. i measured and was sure it would be too tall to fit under my table. turns out i was wrong! super excited.

a four-drawer utility cart with drawers of progressively darker shades of green. it is on casters. it had a “wooden” top and metal piping. it fits perfectly underneath the tables in the classroom.

he had been glued to my side for two days. i guess i can never leave again.

a white woman, in her 40s, with dirty blonde, curly, shoulder-length hair, wearing a blue muscle tank top is laying on a grey, microfiber sofa with two salmon-colored pillows behind her head and two squishmallow next to her. cuddling in her right arm is a grey tabby cat, with his head bent back, looking at her. he is trying to be extra cute, which is working, but she is also mad that he worried her enough to take him to the vet er.

in the foreground is a tray of drying ravioli that have recently been crimped. in the background is a container of spinach and cheese that is going in the ravioli. in the middle is a chalice filled with a green drink. some ravioli look better than others. some were the first pancake. we got better as we went along.

a blue and white universal yums box is in the background. in the foreground is a st. michel’s madeleine. the package says, “made in france”. the cakes looks delicious, even in the packaging.

#universalyums france box: truffee’s & co powered truffles cocoa dusted truffles with fizzy cola flavor a more traditional truffle but with cola pop rocks INSIDE!!! i didn’t know i needed that. weird but so much fun. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

a blue and white universal yums snack box. leaning up against it is a small bag of truffee’s &co’s cola flavored truffles. the surprise is that the truffle is traditional but the cola comes in the form of pop rocks!!! the bag has a cartoon truffle dressed up uncle sam style holding a glass cola bottle. that is a bold move for a french candy.

finished reading: golden son by pierce brown ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ didn’t like it as much as red rising but i want to know where it goes. the characters are getting older and making their own choices. but i felt like this was an interlude and not a complete story. great world building. #booklyapp #booksky
