T5B: 1) It hurt my wallet, but I was able to get 3 months supply of Lunabell today. So that's 12 weeks I don't have to go to the hospital in the cold! 2) I finished a book today. 3) I got to message Jerod for a little bit. 4) I picked up my place a little. 5) I'm having lunch Saturday with my Oneechan and the elders. :)

basal temp: 36.54 (that's my body's new favorite!)

Morning:
- icky nightmares, it was hard to get up
- I drafted out three more worksheets
- I got one created

Notes: I was blessed with ideas for which I am very grateful. It just took a lot of research and will take a lot of putting together later for the last one.

Afternoon:
- got another worksheet with its additional materials done
- the teachers all went to a staff meeting so I did the trashes by myself (:) I wanted to serve)
- the VP figured out it was me (lol I don't know why I thought I was being so sneaky when I was the only one there! lol) he thanked me
- I made the VP laugh on the way out when I said goodbye in Samurai Japanese (saraba de gozaru!)
- the bus was HOT going home
- went to the hospital
- talked to Dr. Oyama (Rie)

Notes: As I said above, that third worksheet will take a few hours to put together (only the best for my students!). My meeting with Dr. Oyama was interesting. She apologized for not getting to warn me about the extra bleeding. She said it's likely to happen again. :/ Yay. She said it happens to some women and that's why they stop it. I asked her if she thought I should stop taking it and she said she wanted me to give it a chance. It's the closest to natural thing I've taken (after the Kampo that made me sick) so I acquiesced. It seems to have helped some with swelling so I'm hoping it will get better. In the meantime though, I took my last pill tonight which means my period will start tomorrow. That will make three periods in four weeks. :/ The doctor said it's not a true period but as far as I'm concerned, I'm bleeding, I'm in excruciating pain... it might as well be! The cramps are only slightly less painful. I can already feel that crippling pain coming on this evening. HOWEVER, there is one positive. I feel like my feelings of wanting to quit and having a major burnout have been MAJORLY amplified by my oncoming period. Of course the exhaustion has made things bad as well, but I'm fixing that little by litte. (Or at least trying!) Hope you are all well and in good health! XOXO, A

That's me!

I got so many compliments on this jacket today! (Ok two teachers, but still! That's two more than ever! - Also of note, my Maman gave it to me!)

Crackers and honey - mmm ;)

Cracker and cheese? (So I tried the mozz I bought at the farm - spot on, delicious. This stuff? *shudder* It tastes like bargain basement cheese and it was $7 for two tiny pieces! Oh well... live and learn and all that.)
