Day 11: Some days are not so easy

I'm exhausted.  My eyeballs feel heavy.  The thought of zoom was hard.  And I'm not sure why today is different from other days. 

I got up at the normal time. I had breakfast, blueberries and yogurt. Everything was the same except sunshine and warmth. 

Today was sunny and warm, 70 degrees. 

And I was inside:

Monitoring zoom
Answering calls 
Staring at a screen 
Teaching 
Attending meetings 
Listening 

I took my book and sat in my balcony in-between calls.  
The sun felt amazing for those 20 minutes.

    Zoom breaks, whenever they come, are so important. Our zooms were in our sunroom, and just being able to close the computer, close my eyes, and just feel the warmth was such a positive! :)

    Bella looks like she's enjoy the sun too!

    Thanks for sharing with us today!

Day 27: Don't open your laptop!

Good morning self, I know there is so much that you can do today but don't open the laptop.   You can get ahead. You can grade writing.  You can check reading logs.   You can watch a PD.  Yes it's true but DON'T Open the Laptop! Because you are worth a day away from the screen.  You deserve a walk.  You deserve eyeballs that are not bulging out of your skull.  So just for today, leave the laptop closed, Get outside and enjoy the sunshine for more than 25 minutes.   You deserve it.  Happy Spring Break.  Love, Me

Day 23: Things that can happen at 12:30 AM

 I looked up and I saw a dark shadow.  Am I  dreaming?  What's happening?  Hun! Wake up! Call Security!  What are you talking about? I was so confused. Why am I calling security?  Mary is on the floor in the elevator room.    Mary is my 90 year old neighbor.  -So many questions flooded my foggy brain:  -Why is she on the floor?  -How did my husband know this at 12:30 AM?  I grabbed my glasses and my phone. I called security.  No answer.  Call nonemergency.   What ? I called the precinct. No one answered. And I couldn't figure out the extension because I was still very foggy.  Call 911.  I called and got transferred to EMS.  My neighbor is on the floor. She is 90 years old and seemed very confused. She needs assistance.  Where are you?  #11 East 35 st.  What are the cross streets?  What?  Is she exhibiting signs of covid?  I have no idea.  Yes, in 2021 I was a...

Day 31: side effects

I think it's weird that I don't remember pain.  I mean the kind of pain that cripples you.   Do I remember the pain during my son's birth? No!  Major surgery? Nope!  Don't get me wrong, I remember what it sounds like and what it looks like but not the feeling.  So that is why I was so thrown off by the side effects of the vaccine. Fever.  Headaches.  Body aches.  Nausea. Cold sweats.  Hot 🔥sweats.  No taste.  No smell.   I must have checked off all of the boxes.   And it was the worst 24 hours.   Was it worth it?  I'm not sure but it's done.
