I'm not really sure about my titles for this anymore. I did this as a year challenge, and I succeeded, so now I'm not sure if I need to add the year to the title dates or what. I don't want to add the years, so I won't, but how to keep the days separate? … Continue reading January 3: titles?

January 2: Being Sick Sucks
The title says it all. I haven't had a real virus yet this school year until now, and I had completely forgotten how much it sucks trying to teach while you're sick: everything is more annoying, the terrible fluorescent lights hurt, my patience is short, it's hard to speak loud enough to be heard over … Continue reading January 2: Being Sick Sucks
December 27: getting sick?
Today is Dak's birthday and I feel so bad I haven't been able to celebrate much because I've been super sick with something. My guts hurt so bad I thought I might have to go to the hospital, and tonight my throat is starting to hurt. Anders had a virus, so I'm may be coming … Continue reading December 27: getting sick?
December 22: break
The stress melted away a little bit today; even though there's still plenty on my mind, I felt relieved to have more than two days to relax. I know we have a lot of things to do this week, but I hope we have a few days where there are no responsibilities or expectations. The … Continue reading December 22: break
December 19: I’m upset
I'm just kind of pissed off and things are setting me off and I just need to be left alone for a while. My guts have been sore since I had some unhealthy food the other day and I'm both annoyed by my sore guts and annoyed that I can't eat junk food anymore without … Continue reading December 19: I’m upset
December 12: not giving up
Everything in me wants to give up on things right now. Maybe it's the string of cloudy, gloomy days, or maybe it's the short days, or maybe it's that resources are tight while needs are high, but I'm way off my game. I'm forgetting things more than usual, I'm hyperfocused on things that aren't helpful … Continue reading December 12: not giving up
December 11: brain overload
My brain has been rushing a lot lately - like, my thoughts are flying through my mind at such a fast speed that I can't really keep up with them. They are pretty random lately, too. More random than normal. For example, if I've done anything awkward or embarrassing or "wrong" to any of you, … Continue reading December 11: brain overload
November 20: Food and the Body
I have been really careful about what I've been eating for the past couple months. This has meant a lot of changes in how I feel, how my clothes fit, and my relationship to food. I feel better, I have more energy, I know I am being healthier. But. Today I was really hungry and … Continue reading November 20: Food and the Body
November 8: I don’t have time for illness
Migraine. It hit really early this morning. I made it through my 7th grade classes and stopped at the nurse's office in the middle school to check my temperature, which was normal. My stomach was sick-hungry, so I ate an apple and drove over to the high school, hoping some fresh air would help. Nope. … Continue reading November 8: I don’t have time for illness
November 4: Thankful
Tonight I saw a few friends doing 30 days of thankfulness for November and it seemed pretty cool. I've tried to do it before, but like most social media fads, I forget after a few days. Like, when I was supposed to do the 10 most influential books, I quit on number 8 or something. … Continue reading November 4: Thankful
