a 'me' day
Today was lovely! Aside from not being able to drop off A at work because of the natural gas spill ... he didn't open the shop 'till 11am.
I was paid for my morning to attend a workshop (too much paperwork, but necessary).
Then in the afternoon I was paid and had a TOC cover my class while I attended another workshop. This one was on French country dances. I forgot how much I *love* dancing and how good I (usually) am. And what a fantastic workout with the lovely bonus of free resources! YAY!
I need to get back in the habit of SCA dance practice, I think!
Also, I don't think I ever mentioned it, but I'm rehabilitating a freshwater tank from a colleague at work who passed away. It had been neglected for months and most of the fish died except for an extremely large algae eater who was too big for the tank. I finally decided to take him to a pet store so he could be in a tank that was large enough (long enough) for him and I was so happy. Instead of moping on the side of the tank with his tail and his dorsal fin drooping, he was fluttering around. Too bad I couldn't have afforded the $200 tank, but I think I made the right decision. So although I don't have any fish that were hers, I'll remember her by the fish and the calming effect they always had on me when I was feeling frazzled at the end of the day.
I'm almost finished being evaluated at work. It's my 1st continuing contract so it's a little nerve wracking, but okay.
I can't wait to find out if the school is going to be having a full-time K next year or not!!! :)
I've also finished tonight my last dose of antibiotics for a sinus infection that's been plaguing me for awhile. At least the sinus pressure has died down, but I'll have to keep up with the sinus rinses to try to prevent it. And I'll have to keep up the pro-biotics until my gut starts to feel normal again.
sigh.
So tonight and tomorrow morning I have to:
-re-vamp my schedule
-figure out what PLOs (proscribed learning outcomes) I'm doing for this term and next
-plan my day (yay! for PE)
-plan my day Wednesday with last observation
At least I've had a relaxing bath and will go to make myself another cup or two of tea (probably silk road 'angelwater') then try to get something done in the next 30 mins before packing it in.
I do hope to have the sun room unpacked and have people over. *soon!* Even if it's for something informal like a movie night.
nite all!
