7:30 a.m. - It's back to cooperating teacher day today.  According to Mrs. Mitola, her days of student teaching are dwindling down - something like ten.  Admittedly, yesterday it was nice to be up and active rather than passive and struggling to stay busy with something.  I'm tired this morning because I didn't sleep well...lately I often wake up around 3:00 a.m., get to thinking about something, and then I can't go back to sleep.  I think I did fall back to sleep around 4:00 a.m., but the interrupted sleep tends to make me a little groggy.  That's okay, I'll do my best to accomplish what I can.

Things to do for school

• submit another evaluation for Mrs. Mitola

Things that I NOW think about with the coronavirus. (11/10)

Hospitalizations continue to climb, which is not a good trend.  Two weeks ago, the hospitalization number was 595.  61284 zip code added an additional five cases too.  A cold rain is expected today...when weather changes, cold and flu starts to show up.  By the end of the week, more students will be sniffling, sneezing, and coughing, which means they will probably be sent home.

Prayer for My Heart

Holy Spirit...

Help me have... 

    a pure heart, that I may see;
    a humble heart, that I may hear;
    a heart of love, that I may serve;
    a heart of faith, that I may abide in the spirit. 

                                                                     Amen
