Back to School Mode

Friday…Woo Hoo! Back to school mode has officially been activated. Early alarm clocks, real clothes, functioning brain by 8:00am, the works- and while it’s not been easy, it sure has been nice seeing my work family again. It’s funny how easily we teachers slip in and out of teacher mode. I was totally relaxed this summer and didn’t feel stressed or tense and could operate at a slower pace. Now that we’re back on campus, I feel the tension between my shoulder blades, my brain is constantly firing off, I’m even a little bit stressed already. It’s a strange transition we teachers go through and one that no one else can fully understand. Also, the pic above is the only one I’ve taken this week. It’s been busy.

Life Lately

Can you believe we have made it ONE YEAR through this pandemic? I remember this time last year when we were all so scared and stocking up on toilet paper. Thankfully, that toilet paper thing turned out alright! I did have a lot of fear about the virus, though. It took me almost a whole year to actually get it, but now that it’s behind me, I’m glad I’m mostly past it. I still don’t think my taste is 100% back to normal. I can taste almost everything, but there are some things I eat and it just doesn’t taste as good as it once did. Maybe one day… Okay, enough about the virus and the pandemic. Let’s get to some good stuff.
