It is rather bittersweet that this is my last of the 'at home' sick days I have been granted. On the bright note, it means the school year is almost at an end and I have a bit of time this summer to focus on what I can do to be as healthy as possible. On the other end, it means I have two weeks left of straight work with HUGE activities and work load a coming. I am scared, frankly, of my year end overnight trip with my class, because of my health. Let's face it, one doesn't sleep on an overnight with kids because they have endless energy. I worry I will go zombie with exhaustion as I have been the past 2 months. I worry I will have an 'accident'. I worry I will make it through but then be dead and struggle to complete the final 8 days.
I worry a lot.
I am so grateful for the admin and staff I have who have helped me make this possible. I would not have made it without these days to rest. I worry for fall, when it's either 1) be healthy enough to work full time or 2) take a leave, which I really do not want to do.
What have I done on these days?
- rest
- sleep
- nap
- catch up on laundry or housework
- budget
- tabulate my loan numbers
- blog a bit
- do some marking
- sleep
- rest
- watch HGTV and SLICE (and a few star trek TNG :-)
What did I NOT do?
- read for pleasure (too tired to focus)
- read for work (see above)
- Plan units for school (which I desperately need to do)
- Figure out how to eat for colitis and eat to lose weight
- find out if there is a colitis society in my area
- go for walks (scared there will be an accident)
- cook much
I am not sure how much I will blog or comment until July 1. It's crazy busy in my world at school and trying to keep in touch with my own children as they head into exams. So if I go AWOL, it's only temporary. I promise :-)
