I’ve been working on a “preschool wishlist” - a girl can dream, right? 

Just dropping it here so I don’t forget about it.  It’s ultimately a list of things I want to buy when school starts back up.

Week two of summer school is done.  It’s been fun and relaxed.  I have 5 adults in my room and only 9 kids.  The student/teacher ratio is nice. I’m enjoying getting to spend time with the students without ALL the paperwork. 

Two more weeks to go!

I told my therapist today that I can be a little “tight with money sometimes” and she just laughed at me. She said that it is a little more than sometimes and for sure something I should think about. 

Spending money is hard for me! I want things, but I also worry that if I spend the money now I won’t have it when/if I need it.

Gonna cry myself to sleep because my hair is thinning due to a stupid medical condition I can’t control.

I got my yearly evaluation back. 

I am “highly effective”!  I was nervous about not doing well, but surprised myself!

Also...obsessively checking my grades even though I only submitted the project last night. 

The professor has a full time teaching job plus this. Logically, I know she hasn’t had time to grade it.

District website says we are virtual until December 9th. 

I have not yet heard anything for admin about it. 

The state is closing high schools on Wednesday. Not sure if that is what is happening with us or not.

I have been trying to focus on myself...mental health and all that. 

I have been journaling and meditating daily. 

I want to add in some exercise. I plan to walk at least twice a week, but am looking for a short youtube workout for inside. 

Any suggestions?  Tips?  I know that a “better” me is going to result in a better teacher.
