I went by a room to check on something and a kid ran out into the hallway saying they needed something from me. As I entered the room, the entire class yelled, &#8220;happy valentine&#8217;s day, Mister Michael&#8221; at me. It was every bit as charming and awkward as one might imagine. They invited me back in the afternoon for their trail mix party, which was a delightful mix of cereal and assorted candy. It was nice to see something that wouldn&#8217;t punch you in the mouth with a fist of sugar.<\/p>\n<p>I never actually left for lunch after that. I got a sundae after the trail mix, so I guess there wasn&#8217;t much need for anything else. After work, I went to Summer&#8217;s for dinner, then came back home for some\u00a0<em>PUBG<\/em> before bed. I&#8217;m having a hard time getting into bed at an appropriate time, but I guess it&#8217;s not affecting me negatively yet.<\/p>\n<p><em>Valentine&#8217;s day is just a corporate invention, but we don&#8217;t have to fall for it. We don&#8217;t have to ever enjoy anything.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was all parties at the elementaries today.
