I made it through the first week of teaching!!!!!!!
Barely.
ha.
The struggle was real and I was yawning through, well we'll just not mention how many lessons I yawned through. But in the end I made it and I was happy to see my students again!
Open for Business!!!
The pink clipboard and I were ready to go!
What you can't see in this picture is how terrible I felt. Sunday as I was getting ready for church I started not to feel well. It continued all of Sunday, and all of Monday. My chronic illness was flaring up and I felt miserable. Pain, pain, nausea and more pain. But I made it thru the day, and thankfully by Wednesday I was feeling a lot better. But it was a rough start to the week!
Tuesday was my day off and boy was I happy for it! After feeling so bad, I still didn't feel well on Tuesday but I was starting to get better. Some rest and laying on the couch watching Sister Wives helped greatly!
Wednesday was a super busy day, I added another student to my rooster that day, so it started earlier than last semester. I treated myself to a Frozen Mocha from Dunkin Donuts. My very favorite! #SoGood
Inbetween and then after lessons I went here there and everywhere. That night I went to Aldi and got groceries as it was supposed to snow a lot on Friday so I wanted to be sure and stock up. I ran into several people I knew and chatted so it took a little longer than normal. But by the time I checked out it was so quiet in there, and i think there was only one other couple shopping. Quietest it has ever been! it was kind of weird!
Thursday I took zero pictures? Not sure how that happened. I didn't have to teach until later so I ran some more errands and then picked up some McFlurries for Baptist Happy Hour! Jboz and I hadn't seen eachother since the recital, and last semester's schedule wasn't great for Baptist Happy Hour. So i was excited to visit with her and catch up! I played with Roman a bit as he was skipping out on his nap. And when Jboz told him to tell me goodbye when I left he ran up, unprompted! and hugged my legs! SO SWEET!!! Made my day!
Friday we didn't get the snow that was forecasted, but we did get ice over night. I had put out salt Thursday night but I think the rain washed it all away. Argh!! It was a cold, blustery day that I was happy to spend inside!!!
Saturday my parents stopped by very briefly to drop off some things I had left at home over Christmas, and to drop off a surprise loaner of a snowblower!! Apparently My Mom found one on a great sale and bought it for their house, but didn't realize you couldn't use it on gravel. Which all of their driveway is gravel. So she decided to loan it to me for the winter, since she can't use it that much, and I have lower back issues. Everytime I shovel I wind up in pain. When I came back from Christmas, I was bringing my luggage inside, and it had snowed while i was gone, and I realized that pulling a suitcase does a fantastic job of getting snow out of the way! Soooooo I might have possibly used one to do my sidewalks. And told my Mom about it. And she made fun of me. For days. But I'm telling you IT WORKED and my back did not hurt! So I think she thought I was a nutcase with my suitcase snow removal. I say, whatever works! It's supposed to snow more tonight and tomorrow and I am weirdly excited to try out this snowblower! Stay Tuned!
Today is my Team's week to serve at church so I put my ever so attractive orange shirt on and layered up. It was -1 when I got out of the shower and 1 when I left for church. My truck did not want to start. Which I knew it wouldn't. Anything under 10 degrees and I have issues. Thankfully it finally started. And by the time I got to church my driver side had thawed out enough for me to get out of the truck like a normal person. The door was frozen shut when I tried to leave so once again I had to enter through the passenger's side. First time I have done that THIS winter. And I know it won't be the last! If only I had a garage......
