Social Isolation - Day 3; The Doldrums.

As I type, Mandy is reading to Ollie and Atticus sits next to me and writes in his own journal.

The other day, Mandy out of the blue said I was a good teacher.  I'm not sure what brought it on; I had been helping her with her online courses a little bit (I got all of mines done on Tuesday) and had emailed my other dual credit colleagues telling them that I could help them all with black board problems, if necessary (I teach online courses, so I'm pretty good with this software for instruction).  I heard her tell me this, and wondered what really brought it on, because I didn't know.  I even asked her why she said it, and she said, "I know why."  But I'm just not that sure; but it's been rattling around in my head for the last few days.

Other than that, I'm not sure I'm going to survive this social isolation.  The kids, man; the kids.  We took Ollie out of school today, and the kids did nothing but fight.  And when I say we took him out of school, I mean at his usual time - 3 o'clock.  So, I guess we'll wait and see at this point.
