Griping Old Lady

This has been such an easy week. Can I have about five more of these…in a row…starting right now??? Testing at the MS level is hard on the kids but nice for me. Basically I’ve not seen my kids all week other than to take attendance first thing in the morning. Instead I’ve spent my time catching up on paperwork.

John is gone for a few days. He promised he’d be a guest teacher in Chelsey’s class and do some hands-on science experiments with the kids. After completing the day teaching, he and Chelsey drove up to Portland last night where she is receiving Cytoxan treatment #3 today. I don’t like being home alone at night ‘cause I don’t feel comfortable having the door to our deck open when I'm by myself. Instead I've turned the overhead fan on high but it does not have the same effect as the fresh air from the outside.

I’m not sure if I can explain why I’ve been feeling so down lately. I seem to be more emotional and sometimes feel like crying for no good reason. I've been nursing a headache the last two days that I'm glad to say is gone today. (Thank you John for all the Dutch Bucks. I'm sure the caffeine has helped my head.) My body is aching but in a good way. I like the feeling I get when I’ve been working out. Although I do have one ache that I do not like in my left leg. I think it may be varicose vain related. I had my right leg treated some 18 months ago and was supposed to have the left done shortly there after, but I backed out after being in more pain than I had expected with the first. I guess I need to check into this again. Can’t it just go away? I am such a chicken! I hate any kind of “procedures.” Okay so this was my "griping" paragraph were I get to sound like the old lady I am staring to feel like.

Today I am having lunch with some girlfriends to celebrate one of their birthdays. I’ve made arrangements for my 5th period HS students to go to another teacher so that I won’t have to rush lunch to get back. Thursday is Tutorial day so there is not much do. TGIF tomorrow. I can't wait for the weekend. John will be home either tonight or tomorrow. Yeah!
