Fadedwords

Yesterday was the first day back to work.  It was a really good day, full of lots of excitement and positivity from my coworkers.  I think everyone is incredibly eager to work with our new principal and get off on the right foot.  We spent half of the day in a lengthy meeting, but it didn’t seem to drag on.

Today is a day that all of us can work in our rooms and get things ready to go.  Most of my stuff is cleaned up and ready to go, and I’m waiting on the master calendar before I can start prepping for lessons and whatnot.  I have a couple of things to ask the principal regarding what his expectations are for me, compared to what expectations were last year.

I’m feeling… not great today.  I wasn’t feeling great yesterday either.  I have a headache, a slightly sore throat, I’m tired, and I have a stomach ache.  I’m hoping that I’m not coming down with strep, although it’d be a real possibility with Jake so sick.  I have no time to get sick though, so I’m just not entertaining that thought.

A real positive for me has been that several of my coworkers have told me they can “really tell” that I’ve lost weight.  That lifts my spirits and really motivates me to continue on.   

Off to do some things.  It’s good to be back to work.
