   I’ve been continuing to write about my history with relationship abuse [TW on that], this time reflecting on one reason why I didn’t leave.

   Also waxing frustrated about students and toilet paper as well as collecting clips from my favorite Christmas specials.

   Finally, starting to wrap up a month-long yoga challenge and thinking about how difficult it is for me to leave things undone, particularly at Christmas.

   I just finished reading The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. It’s a young adult book that tackles how girls are treated in high school. It was funny and though provoking. I highly recommend it.
