1. Downs. Here’s a message to all of my high school students’ parents: buy your children the textbook for my class! It’s the third week of the semester. This cannot go on. Because I plan to start taking it out of their grades, and it’ll be your fault.
2. Ups. I finished reading the third and last Rennie Airth book, The Dead of Winter. It was pretty good, though not quite as good as book one. I appear to like books set in wartime London.
3. Some More Downs. I tried to make myself a sandwich for dinner: turkey and Gouda cheese on toasted bread with sliced cucumber and avocado. But the turkey and cucumber were expired and squishy, respectively, and the avocado wasn’t yet ripe. Which I discovered after I toasted the bread and sliced the fruit, so I threw away the lot.
4. Nevertheless, Ups. So my husband took me to Jimmy John’s, where I ordered a #12 beach club, which contains turkey, cheese, cucumber, lettuce, sprouts, mustard, and avocado spread on fresh bread. So I ate a better version (excepting the Gouda) of the sandwich I failed to make.
