Day 4,502—One Week—

 

Start time: 5:39 a.m.

Weather: Mid 70s wind 1.8  mi/h, Humidity 93%

       Next week school will start for me and my daughter and things will go back to a new familiar routine. I keep trying to get up early enough this week so next week won’t be such a big change but it hasn’t been easy. Over the weekend it was so hard to get up at a decent time, and I know some of that was stress related. I wonder how I would be feeling if I was still working at the plan or if I was still teaching. At the plan I would be stressed out and usually didn’t have a lot of concrete things to do to help the teachers I supported. Sometimes I would help and they would appreciate it but just as often I would try to help and they either wouldn’t notice or would think I was trying to give them a hard time sometime. As a teacher, I would mostly be looking forward to the first week because those first couple of weeks usually went well. They were stressful but there was a lot of laughter as well. I want to have a plan for the first couple of weeks and this school year but every time I start planning there is always so many different things I want to do to support the kids this year and then I think at this point I have yet to be able to setup my office.
