Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. It's true. That's classic. Silence. I mean, we're recording it, but who cares? Silence. Silence. Silence. Yeah, that's fine. The key. I think because I just did two days of parent-teacher conferences, I'm like, what are you going to throw at me? I'm like, I'm not feeling as nervous anymore. I'm like, ah, it's fine. Me too. Okay. Bye, Heather. You too, Heather. I have a COVID vaccine at 3.30 in Albany. So like 3 o'clock would be my major, my hard stop. But that's like under two hours. Yeah. It's probably a bad thing. There should be a cane pulling us off by then. A little bit, but it's okay. I've been on other podcasts, and it doesn't bother me. I think Kate Bowler was interviewing somebody in England, and they were having tea, and I could hear them set their tea cups down at different points. I'm like, that kind of just adds to the vibe. We got this. So just read it. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you, Lisa, for that incredible intro. That just brought tears to my eyes too, and thank you so much for reminding me of those moments where we have supported each other through hard things and through scary things, through dark things, because it can be really hard. I knew I would cry because I cry at everything, but there you have it. So what has happened over the last few years that has led to more resiliency in my life? That's a big question, and there's been a lot of different pieces that have probably led to that developing more and more in my life, things that I wasn't, frankly, expecting three years ago right now. I remember about three years ago right now hearing a little bit via phone calls with my parents that things weren't going so great for my mom's health, and I was busy with parent-teacher conferences and preparing for Thanksgiving and the holidays, but I started noticing through conversations with my mom and my dad that some surgery that she had gone through probably wasn't resulting as well as I'd hoped, and over the next few weeks while I was teaching during the day on Zoom with my third graders and trying to balance meeting their needs and my family's needs, I started getting more phone calls.
