Day 10

I always forget my sunglasses at recess time, but not today!

I actually did a full day in 1st grade today, but unfortunately I had a "headache from hell"--my head would not stop pounding. Like little anvils pounding on my temples.  It felt so good to finally finish up the school day and my separate tutoring meeting, get home, enjoy a Coke (they always help my headaches), and relax for a bit.

I didn't have too much of a break though--I got home at 5:30 but wanted to go grab dinner with my friend.  We went to a pizza joint called Dolce Vita---it felt really good to enjoy some pizza (it's such a good comfort food) and good company.

Anyway, I am so glad that I can mostly do half-days--they are what I usually do. As teachers know, spending a full day with kids in the classroom can be so exhausting.  And since I'm not always feeling well with all these drugs, and especially today with such a pounding headache, it can be so hard keeping my motivation level up when all I want to do is lie down and take a nap.  At least today, luckily, I had a pretty good group of kids, so that was still fun.

Day 10 shot is done!
