Wednesday, October 20

5:48 a.m. - I guess I was just tired?  Yesterday after school, I had a notion to go for a walk or workout downstairs or do some type of exercise.  So came home and sat for a bit just to sit, and then we grilled some hamburgers and chicken breasts on the grill since it was such a nice day.  Then Karrigan came over, and while we were visiting I laid down on the floor and took a little post-supper snooze.  I woke up and made my way to the recliner and started watching the Blackhawks, still thinking I would go for a little evening walk.  Needless to say I fell to sleep again.  Then when I woke up around nine o'clock, I headed to bed but thought for sure I would have trouble sleeping through the night. I figured I had my book, so I would read if I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep.  Nope...slept right through the night.  Geez.  So NOW I'm going to watch a little news to catch the weather and THEN go out with the walking sticks and get some fresh air and a little walk.

Today at school, we have an 11:30 dismissal day...apparently the subject is mental health.  I'm probably going to struggle with today.  I'm probably going to hear about all the troubles that students have and how we teachers should be more sensitive and more understanding.  I'm probably going to hear about how the pandemic has had such a negative impact on students.  At some point I'm probably going to be just more frustrated.  Life is hard; it involves hard work; it involves perseverance; it involves tough decisions; it involves doing things we don't always want to do.  So while I may be frustrated today with my professional development, it's basically a "day off", so I'll take it.  

Later today it's back to officiating - this time basketball but just up at Rockridge with junior high girls.
