Smog Level: 0/3 Mountains
Really glad I prepped that shake for this morning. When I work too close to bedtime, I tend to resist sleep and am not able to shut off my mind. So many things to think about, particularly anything but what I’ve been working on all night.
Classes go well, Aurora is watching again, and the kids are being their usual selves. I don’t know if I’ve ever really gone into detail about these “eye exercises” that they have in the mornings. They play this eerie tune, like mischief is taking place, while counting from 1-whatever in Mandarin. We open the door so they can hear the counting better, and they all close their eyes, massaging themselves in the way they all know. Massage the ear lobe, just beneath the eyes, the forehead, press on various parts of the skull. There are several stages, and some of the kids take it seriously, particularly the ones that voluntarily police the class.
