Challenging my resilience: Key to my front door broke off in the lock. Drew’s not home until 9. At least it’s slightly above freezing.

I aim to be this motivated and resilient.
In 1835 Thomas Carlyle lent John Stuart Mill his manuscript of 'The French Revolution: A History' but, according to Mill, his maid mistook it for waste paper and used the whole pile for kindling. Carlyle re-wrote it from scratch and Mill reviewed it is a work of ‘genius'.
I have always hated stuffing/dressing, but for Kamala I may be willing to try this.

My Presidency students had the option of answering some of their final exam questions with memes. Here are some of the best answers, with permission and attribution (1/14):

However, out of an abundance of caution, early on we asked that healthcare workers not return for 4 more days. After review, we have now decided that it's time to bring the approach for healthcare workers safely in line with that for all other cases. (2/4)
Please, for the sake of all Albertans and our medical system: adopt the federal COVID Alert app. @CMOH_Alberta
It is critical that Albertans continue to work with contact tracers to prevent #COVID19AB spread. This new tool will further supporting Albertans and help speed up contact tracing.
I got mine with no appt, in and out in 5 mins!
Due to the current COVID 19 pandemic, it is incredibly important to take the pressure off of the healthcare system by getting a flu shot. Go to MyFluShot.ca to find healthcare providers near you offering flu shots. #flu #flushot #flu2020 #FightFlu #influenza

Noooooope. Reject and repudiate him with no conciliatory gestures. Find a way forward without condoning or giving in to hatred.
Van, thank you for expressing the sorrow and relief that we all feel. My hope is that those who hoped for a different outcome will take a moment to empathize with the pain so many of us have felt over the past four years.

This moment feels too big, I don’t even know what to say. Is this what it feels like to start hoping again? Congratulations President-Elect @JoeBiden and Vice President-Elect @KamalaHarris!

I’m just not ready to feel anything yet. There’s a meteor shower on my island tonight. That’s what I’m focusing on.
Holding on by my fingernails to the belief that the arc of history is indeed long, but it bends towards truth and justice.
Happy birthday in electoral limbo to @fae_dark, @barnswallowkate, and me! Listening to #Hamilton on repeat, not sure if it’s maintaining my sanity or fraying it. May @Lin_Manuel have mercy on our souls.

Watching Treehouse of Horror II which aired in 1991. Homer loses his job and gets a new one as a gravedigger. It pays $28/hr, which is $5/hr more than I make as an ECE almost twenty years later. #scary
