91 & 92: In progress!

91. Bring sack lunch to work every day
92. Only buy coffee for the worst Thursday morning all-faculty meetings

I've successfully done BOTH of these for this entire school term, which would be SEVEN weeks, thankyouverymuch. AND, I'm proud to report that even though this past Thursday's all-faculty meeting was a particular doozy, I resisted Dunkin Donuts on my way to work and had the coffee we brew in our reading lab, instead. I'm going above and beyond, people, above and beyond.
