I woke up yesterday with a bit of a scratchy throat and some chest congestion, which only got worse as the day went on. Today, I spent the day at school blowing, coughing, and washing my hands and/or using hand sanitizer. I suppose it was inevitable that my last days of school would be fraught with feeling lousy.
I had to tell Robin to sleep in her own bed tonight. She works that to the hilt. We are still going through Spider Fear, even though nothing has been in her room for weeks. What she doesn't understand is that Grandma is too old to sleep well with another bed-hogging body in the bed! She still isn't asleep...
We had our 7th and 8th grade Awards program this afternoon, so I didn't have to teach much. I think we got out with 15 minutes to spare before dismissal. Not too bad. The special ed. aide that works with me came into my room during my prep and helped me get the textbooks in numerical order in the cabinets in the room. God bless her for that! Pam is not real popular with the kids because she doesn't take any nonsense from them, but she has been a valued co-worker for me in the sense that she anticipates my needs and does them without being asked. What a pleasure that is!
I have a couple more days to continue the process of getting out of the classroom gracefully. I hope it doesn't carry over to Monday, but if it does, I'll deal with it!
