Well, it sure was a Monday! We only have 8 more to go at my school. I must find the best way to keep my students engaged, and maybe me too. What's your plans to keep your kiddos zoned in?

When you put it like that, it makes the remainder of the year seem pretty close. I'll have to keep reminding myself that I only have 8 more Mondays to get through. I tell my students every day to "Finish strong. You're almost at that finish line."

Honestly, it's hard for me to stay motivated during the last two months of the year. My students and I take turns feeding into each other. On the days, I'm low on energy, they come in with the best energy and I try to do the same for them.

The only way I've found to keep them motivated is to keep myself as active and positive as possible (even if I DO NOT feel that way at all -- I'm pooped! haha) I crash into my chair at the end of every hour, but the kids seem to begrudgingly appreciate the chipperness in the face of getting to the end of the week. I keep it honest with them; we're ALL dragging our feet, but we gotta make it there!

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

My family mistreated me when I was younger, and now that I don’t live at home, they don’t call or bother to look for me, because frankly, I think they have a hard time admitting what happened - and will never apologize to me either. If I don’t call, or occasionally go see them during the holidays, we would never talk. Some of them are growing old (health-wise), and I’m scared this entire situation is just irreparable. Has anyone ever gone through anything similar? Any advice or thoughts?

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

Hi Everyone, I need your opinion.
I met a girl 2 months into my 6month exchange in NYC. I enjoyed her company and we had fun together. She is really busy (IB) but we made time for each other. so it was late night and weekend hangout. When i was leaving to my home country in UK, we said we would try to make it work. Now that i am home, it has become difficult. I have lots of friends (girls), therefore i am always with them when not working, and she doesn't like it much as my ex is among (TBC)

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
