Day 7: Wherein the Cats Eat

At first I was going to count days in terms of how many days I had been working from home, instead of being in my classroom. But what I'm thinking now is that marking the days of this whole...thing makes more sense because every day seems the same!  So today, Monday, is Day 7.

In Cannon Beach, Day 7 was much more calm than days 6 or 5. The amount of tourists was truly maddening. The beach looked like 4th of July, with cars lined up and down the streets, and the beach packed. Today, happily, it is a much different story. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen Cannon Beach with fewer cars!

I did have to go out today, and for a really good reason: CAT FOOD!  Last week I went to get food from the vet, and they were closed. These complicated felines of mine eat prescription food, so this was a challenge. I was hoping grocery store food would suffice. I mean, I was thinking it must taste good since it wasn't prescription.  Like broccoli versus potato chips. Wrong-o!  Somehow they have taken after me and are collectively incredibly picky. As in, nobody has eaten in three days. Honestly. They've had more treats these last few days than in their whole lives!

I started a new book with my students: Race to the Bottom of the Sea by Lindsay Eagar. I love it so much - pirates, sharks, true love... Happy sigh. I wouldn't say I've gotten the hang of the video thing yet, but I have dipped into the self amused category. After recording, and recognizing the absurdity of the end of the video, I recorded this part and sent it to my Social Studies co-teacher. We had a similar episode in class a few weeks ago.  😂

Tomorrow, perhaps my Netlflix, CBS, Disney+ playlist!
