Today is my last day at this middle school I've been at since the beginning f the school year. I've been saying goodbye to the kids at the end of each class and gotten some tears--which almost makes up for the kids who go "Yay" when I announce it's my last day. Taking two days off and back to short term subbing next week. I have found out a lot more this past week or so which makes me think it's the right decision to go. I know the classroom management part of it was also a big contributor and I will have to work at that harder, but the lack of administrative support is a big issue.
I'm eleven hundred and twenty years old! Just gimme a friggin' beer!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Aw, Scrappy. That sounds like a tough day. Taking a couple of days before jumping back in to short term sounds really smart.
Actually also taking a sick day - cocooned in blankets watching Marvelous Mrs Maisel just like I wanted. If only some soup and toast would magically appear

Scrappy, good luck with your next assignment.
-t that sounds lovely.
I'm watching a movie while ltc is at school. This afternoon is our last day with her sitter, and I wish I had an answer to how to have more energy.

Good luck scrappy!
I've been off work a week and a half but doesn't count. But I feel like I'm wasting precious time off—type A much? "I should be catching up on good tv series! Or learning to knit! Or doing chair yoga!"

I scheduled two weeks off at the beginning of December, because I'll lose time if I don't take it, but I have no idea what I should do with it.

Owwww. I hate being broken. And I hate having to inject myself with blood thinner, it hurts. And I don't reallt want to go back to work at all, but can't really justify that just because of a broken ankle, when I work from home! I just want to whine and complain, today :(
