So this is how my life is strange & synchronous— I’m grocery shopping now & I walk down the isle with limes thinking about the scene in Little Women— and Amy. And I run into a parent of a student I used to teach— she starts to share some of her frustrations over staff changes. A good reminder that the beginning of a new school year is a sensitive time for many reasons. Anyway— I have nice encounters with parents at the grocery store. We have a Starbucks inside— a mom treated me to an expresso once. I’m still here — need to finish up!
