I had a good first day back with my  students.  Spring semester all the teachers get tense over the high stakes testing, because really the teachers are being judged WAY more than the kids:) Lots of stuff about the interface between politics and the  schools is way messed up, a vast disconnect  from reality and common sense, but I am not going to eat any  comfort over it.  Actually I stay pretty relaxed.  I am grabbing a piece of fruit too often for my  diabetic health, but in general all the quick and easy  ways to combine carbs with  fats(especially fast food) is closed to me now and I am feeling better in the mornings especially.

We had pasta for dinner, because it was quick  and we were out late shopping.  Had planned a black bean soup with corn bread, will have it tomorrow night.  I  had steel cut oatmeal for breakfast and fruit for lunch.
