On Sunday night/Monday morning, Perry the dog woke me up at about 3:30 and proceeded to barf about six or seven times. He refused to drink any water, even when I offered him fresh water out of a person cup. Finally he went outside to the bathroom, came back in, and drank some water. I … Continue reading January 9: my poor puppy

January 5: I skipped a day!
Yesterday is the first day in over a year where I didn't write. I came home, ate dinner, and crashed out by about 7 pm. I didn't wake up enough to write until 10 am this morning, so at that point, I decided not to do it. I was so tired from this week and … Continue reading January 5: I skipped a day!
January 3: titles?
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
January 1: 2019? Okay.
I didn't decide what to do for my new year challenge. I didn't really decide anything. I still have a cold that has sort of held on and made my whole day tired and slower than usual. So 2019 started with a lack of motivation and energy. I did a lot less than I wanted … Continue reading January 1: 2019? Okay.
December 28: yep, I’m sick
I finally got what I think is my first virus of the 18-19 school year. Usually I get it in September and by now I'm onto my second cold, but this autumn was unusually healthy in the virus department. I picked it up from Anders, who came down with it on Christmas. Dak said he … Continue reading December 28: yep, I’m sick
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?
November 13: something weird
Something weird is going on with me. My shoulder and side on the right side hurts - like, the skin feels like it's burning just to touch it gently. It hurt to take a shower - the pressure from the water hurt. It hurts to wear clothes. It hurts to put my purse on that … Continue reading November 13: something weird
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
October 24: Writing buddy
Annika has apparently been struggling with writing at school, so she's been working on it at home a little bit. She's decided to write when I write here, which would be fine if she'd actually write. I'm good with a couple distractions: how to spell things, what word means ... , that kind of stuff. … Continue reading October 24: Writing buddy
