At some point during the fall, I got the urge to have a little toy to play with for mental breaks during the work days. I'd keep it on my home-office desk. While these MagnaTiles are much larger than I expected (I just didn't thoroughly consider the measurements provided), they're pretty cool to play with. I don't use them as much as I would if I had them on my desk (they'd take up too much room), but when I do play with them it requires me to carve out a bit more time that I otherwise thought I would. That's been kind of nice, actually.

I have never in my career worked non stop on one item. Yes, there are other things I tend to but they are, perhaps, 20% of what I spend my time on. We are incessantly working to create a new normal for ourselves and our students. That is actually fascinating when you have to completely rethink all that you have done routinely but unrelenting at the same time.
