Well, my long-term substitute job wrapped up on September 19—just in time for our Fall Break! We get a full week off from school, and I’m definitely ready for some recovery time after teaching 7th grade math. 😅
I turned in the keys they let me keep for the week, and now it’s back to one-day gigs for a while. Honestly, I’m pretty happy about that! The flexibility is nice, and it’s a welcome change of pace.
In my last post, I mentioned a new work bag I had ordered—and I finally got to try it out. I really like the Emma & Kate bag! It’s super roomy and holds almost everything I need. One thing I love is how it stretches open so you can find things at a glance (weirdly, it reminds me of a diaper—in the best way possible!).
There’s also a drawstring opening on the side that gives you quick access, which is really handy… unless you’re caught in bad weather. 🌧️ Just something to keep in mind! It’s probably not ideal for carrying a laptop or iPad though—the fit is a bit tight. My notebook doesn’t fit well, which was a little disappointing, but overall I’m still happy with it.
