11/5: flowers!

 From a student!

11/4: making headway

...with designing (and writing descriptions of) some assignments for the upper-level Latin class.

11/3: ordering

...some photo prints to test holiday card possibilities.  I had worked on some options in mid-October but then delayed getting prints made.  I'm glad I took the time to submit an order today:  the cards should reach me by mid-November, giving me just enough time to rush-order a bunch of whichever one I choose for holiday mailing.

11/2: morning, afternoon, evening

Morning:  voting without a long line.
Afternoon:  baking a chocolate gingerbread cake (recipe here).
Evening:  doing 3 school tasks.

11/1: good afternoon meetings

...with students.  It was a tough week in many ways, so I was especially grateful for thoughtful, unrushed conversations in my office this afternoon.

Oh!  And a bonus good thing:  a student gave me a little bag of Halloween goodies.
