An acute pain

T5B: 1) My lesson went well today (aside from a slight blunder on my part, doh!). 2) My students made me laugh (stories below). 3) I got three worksheets and a game made today. 4) I made a suggestion to a teacher and she accepted my idea! 5) I finished the Book of Mormon today! :D (Restarting tomorrow!)

basal temp: 36.41

Morning:
- got ready a little sluggishly, but had lots of time
- as mentioned above, finished the Book of Mormon :)
1st-4th - all prep and I worked really hard making worksheets for tmw

Notes: I only got the rest of the materials I needed THIS MORNING to make my worksheets for tomorrow. Sheesh. Oh well. They're ready now - other than not being printed yet.

Afternoon:
- lunch was delicious, locally grown apples are AMAZING
5th - taught 2.1, went really well, they made me laugh
6th - cancelled for a second graders (juniors) meeting
- found out I get to have Wednesday as a planning day next week! AND go home a little early!
- sun set while on the bus home (this is now a thing)
- the bus had a heater - glorious!

Notes: So we were playing Scattergories for the first time, and the first category was color. The second one was animals. One boy wrote up, right away, "Orange." Oh man, Saki-s and I lost it. As soon as he got back to his row they started ribbing him and he went back and changed it. A boy in another row wrote, "Ellefant." His friend said the spelling was wrong, so he erased the two l's, wrote them smaller and then wrote, "Elleefant." Oh man, the two of us were dying. Then he gets irked, erases the whole thing and writes, "Dog." Good times.

Evening:
- made some dinner
- laid in bed
- caved and turned on the heater
- watched an episode of Gintama

Notes: I forgot to mention above, school was ROUGH. I mean, I worked hard, my class went well, but my pain... youch. I may be getting a cold, which will always suck BUT today it was torture. EVERY. SINGLE. COUGH. was like being gutted with some sort of blunt object ripping my left ovary out through a jagged hole in my body. I wanted to cry. The pain was very acute today. Very sharp. Then when I got home and laid down in bed kidney pain, in both kidneys, acts up. Please body, stop! It's very hard to teach and to plan and to just FUNCTION. I wish an end were in sight. :/ Oh well. Still doing my best. Love you all! XOXO, A
