5:55 a.m. - Last night, I went to the RHS Drama Department's performance of The Mouse that Roared. It was fun to see students perform, many students I taught last year or this year. I'm always surprised how some students are so quiet in class yet so different on stage. I am glad that I did a little research on the play because our sound and lighting systems are not good in the auditorium.
Today is a Free Read Wednesday, and then tomorrow there is no school. School was canceled for tomorrow due to the boys basketball team at the state finals. Last year the same thing happened, and Amber and I went. This year I'm not going through that again. It was just too much. I feel a little guilty not going and supporting the team, but it was literally dangerous for us to drive home that late last year, and then getting up and going to school after only a few hours sleep was awful. Perhaps if the IHSA changes its state finals format, we will try again to go. Plus, our seats last year were awful. It was neat to see the State Farm Center because I hadn't been there since all the renovations, but I will see the game better on television. Depending on Amber's schedule and the weather, I may go into the Vibrant Arena and watch the MVC women's basketball tournament in the afternoon. If the weather looks like snow, though, it just may end up being a snow day.
Today there is a send-off for the boys during learning lab, so the students will be a bit squirrely. After yesterday's blood drive day, basically this whole week has been and will be a mess, and then we are into spring break.
It's Wednesday, and I've been trying to stay away from my meloxocam prescription and coffee. I was experiencing a bad headache on Sunday, and Monday wasn't so good either. Yesterday was better and today I seem to be okay. I can definitely feel the lack of the medication to keep the joint pain away, but the pain isn't terrible. Hopefully I can strength train, exercise, and lose a little weight that I'm needing to lose...okay maybe it's not just a little...maybe it's like 40 lbs., but I'm going to start thinking "little" in my brain and see if I can see some results.
