I slept around 13 hours yesterday once I got home. My body no longer has the painful joint aches, nor do I have a fever, and the shakes are gone. Fingers crossed I’m good to return to work Monday.29 Aug 2026 21:29 +0000at://did:plc:y5upo4izd7ppklpr7pjp6qww/app.bsky.feed.post/3muat4ldy622bhttps://bsky.app/profile/kelsapellettiere.com/post/3mu6ob2g3zk26First week back to teaching and students gave me covid. https://static.klipy.com/ii/935d7ab9d8c6202580a668421940ec81/63/e8/ozbEYj1A.gif?hh=250&ww=240&mp4=ubqO5Phx&webm=JEIz9k4zv8Jt229 Aug 2026 00:57 +0000at://did:plc:y5upo4izd7ppklpr7pjp6qww/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu6ob2g3zk26https://bsky.app/profile/kelsapellettiere.com/post/3mthmdhovzc2dGot my faculty parking pass and faculty ID today. https://static.klipy.com/ii/4493325008d34b7bf8cd6813cd5c1619/83/85/RspU5ZJNWkWa2GAxJI.gif?hh=212&ww=320&mp4=PawaupKKWSrLFFzwbeE&webm=uv8y19wPsYJcAMoSCQm19 Aug 2026 20:51 +0000at://did:plc:y5upo4izd7ppklpr7pjp6qww/app.bsky.feed.post/3mthmdhovzc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/kelsapellettiere.com/post/3mt3d55zca22lI’ve lost count over the years of how often people think Ben was a US president but I have never met someone who didn’t know he was real. 🤣 [contains quote post or other embedded content]14 Aug 2026 23:35 +0000at://did:plc:y5upo4izd7ppklpr7pjp6qww/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt3d55zca22lhttps://bsky.app/profile/kelsapellettiere.com/post/3mrjjhtxg522jA part of the final for my first haft US history survey online (term 2) this summer was having students write a reflection essay about what they learned from the course and I am absolutely blown away with their papers! #thekidsareallright26 Jul 2026 04:15 +0000at://did:plc:y5upo4izd7ppklpr7pjp6qww/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrjjhtxg522jhttps://bsky.app/profile/kelsapellettiere.com/post/3mqyyynwtlk2o [contains quote post or other embedded content]19 Jul 2026 14:38 +0000at://did:plc:y5upo4izd7ppklpr7pjp6qww/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqyyynwtlk2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/kelsapellettiere.com/post/3mqyx2qr4zk2jHowever, if one more person says to me “Franklin doesn’t seem like a good guy” or “seems like an asshole” one more time because he wasn’t a great husband I am going to crash out. Jackson was devoted to his wife but committed genocide & Adams came very close to fucking up relations with France ffs.19 Jul 2026 14:03 +0000at://did:plc:y5upo4izd7ppklpr7pjp6qww/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqyx2qr4zk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/kelsapellettiere.com/post/3mqywohrzpc2jI forgot to share that my panel went great yesterday!
