Day 24: Almost there

When I started this challenge I didn't really think I'd make it.a week.  It hasn't been perfect but I've tried. So writing 24 is pretty great. 

Today I had a new experience. Our new student entered our zoom. It was so hard for her to navigate the device and the platform but she was super determined. 

Trying to communicate over zoom is difficult on a good day. Having to navigate zoom with a teacher who minimally speaks Spanish must be harder. So in the end I'm exhausted but ready for tomorrow.

    "Exhausted but ready for tomorrow" seems like it should be the mantra for this year. I'm glad you've made it this far...just a few more days!!

    This could be a t-shirt for every teacher this past year. And it's so true, regardless of whether you are a virtual teacher or face to face!

    Thanks for allowing us in to see you pressing forward, both as a writer and teacher! :)

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.

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 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
