SO Thankful!
My coworkers and some of my prisoner students are convinced I deserve a raise. I agree, but will not push for 1 in this economy. I do a lot that I am not technically certified to do. My main focus is on teaching Thinking for a Change (cognitive restructuring) and Job Readiness for apprentices and clerks (job and life skills). I prefer this to assisting the general education teachers. Of course I have 1 or 2 troublesome students, but most are alright and some are actually better behaved and seemingly motivated than many public school students I've known! I'm still amused to have to remind myself I'm in prison. It's just fascinating to study them and interact thus. The boss remains pleased with my performance and I'm solidifying a few coworker friendships! The experience I'm gaining is priceless.
Hubby is still working strong. Thus, his job is more secure than many who will or have been laid off. He's loving and attentive, though we are bored. We each of time to ourselves, which helps. Honestly, I no longer feel physically attracted to him, but love him in our comfy, secure way. I day dream of others, but nothing more. It's frustrating.
I also have not been exercising as I should. Need to restart on NIA DVD, which is a fun combination of martial arts, dance and yoga! Expecting my new Sketchers Shape Ups in the mail next week, which may also help. Anyone tried these things? Otherwise I fear, as a coworker suggested, that I may have some Syndrome X leading to the diabetes my dad has. I blame lethargy and pasta. I'm always in some sleepy fugue. Though that does make my tangents rather entertaining! :-)
I could write in so much more detail about these things, but don't want to bore you. Also, my sinus infection is acting up, so the right side of my face is in great pain. If you're on facebook, poke me to update here more often? Thanks. Questions?
