Wednesday, October 9

5:20 a.m. - I'm feeling fortunate that I don't live in Florida right now.  Hurricane Milton is expected to hit the east coast of Florida, and it's a biggie.  While it may lose a little punch before it reaches land, right now it's Category 5 and forecasting folks are using language like "historic" and "catastrophic".  Yikes.  

Yesterday was just another day in paradise.  I think I'm starting to get use to the "business", and by that I mean the "busy nature" of each day.  Yesterday was a perfect example.  At 7:15 a classroom teacher entered the building to tell us she was going to have to go back home because I pipe was broken in her basement and she had water all over.  So now it's scramble time to find a sub for the class.  In the middle of the day, a dad contacted me to get information on his son, and he apparently hasn't had much interest in his child's school before, so now I need to look into that.  Upon entering the building yesterday, I would never have anticipated those types of things, but that's how the day goes - see what happens and adapt or bend and do the best to carry on the day as if no one knows any different.  

Oh, and yesterday I had my eye appointment check-up, and that's going well.  And yesterday afternoon I went to Quad City Christian for the first time and worked some volleyball officiating, and that went fine.  And I observed the new music teacher in class, and that went fine.  And day two of the pilot para experiment went better.  

So today, while the only "official thing" I have at school is a post-observation visit with Anna, I also need to get ready for the academic assembly on Friday, and I want to do some work with the pilot para's schedule - adding notes that were put in place by Karli yesterday.  After that, I'll see what else is on the to-do list or tackle the "unknown items" that are likely going to occur today.
