I'm done with today

One big news item! Today makes, officially: 2/3rds of my stay here! I've got 1/3rd left and home I go! :) (Oh and thank you readers for more than octupling my views compared to my last blog!)

T5B: 1) I made two more worksheets. 2) I had a dream in which I got to say goodbye to Teresa. 3) I had popcorn for dessert after dinner. 4) It rained today. 5) I was able to message Jerod and Dre today.

basal temp: 35.84

Morning:
- got ready, got out the door
1st-2nd - planned out worksheets for next week and Friday
3rd - taught a class, went very well (2.6)
4th - made materials, planned worksheets

Notes: I forgot one story from ... Tuesday! Yesterday! That kid, D, was teasing Kanamori-sensei that he wouldn't get her anything from Kyoto. And I held out my hand and said, "Presento!" (They really use the word.) He looked at me like I was insane. I said, "Kyoto no omiyage!" (A gift from Kyoto) He pretended to hand me something and said, "Kyoto no cup noodle!" LOL (Meaning literally those ramen cups to which you add hot water.) I said "Ok great!" LOL

Afternoon:
5th-7th - made my worksheets and other materials, was able to message Jerod and Dre a little
- cleaning time went well though the VP had to stop me from vacuuming :/ I'm thorough!

Notes: I'm ready for Friday! (well other than printing out the worksheets I made)

Evening:
- messaged Jerod
- ate dinner
- read a little bit
- had popcorn for dessert

Notes: I hope you all had a great day. I am still feeling emotionally beat up. I had two days where my sleep improved but it's been going back downhill. :( I even got in bed early last night and my sleep was just very poor. :/ Not sure what to do about it. Love you all! XOXO, A (Please pray for me tomorrow - I have an overwhelming ~at least feels that way~ day.)

Also sorry I've been down lately. I always worry you will not want to read my blog anymore. :/ Sorry! I'm trying to bounce back. Here is something positive for you: (my post to Teresa's group on fb)

Last night I dreamed that everyone gathered in Texas to see Momma. As Momma opened Kerri's front door (to welcome Kenny's family), I popped up from behind the porch and yelled, "Momma!" We both cried years of joy as we embraced and then I woke up. I thank my Heavenly Father that I was able to say goodbye in my dreams. Momma I write to you with a heart full of love and pain. You will be greatly missed, but I know you go on to a better place. Your unconditional love has been an incredible blessing that I cherish dearly. Please know that Jerod and I will be vigilant for your presence and will teach our children to recognize the sweet spirit of love that accompanies it. I look forward to us all being together again later. All my (and our) love. May you be free of pain and know the presence of our Savior when you are ready. I am sure He, and definitely Roy, are waiting with open arms. We too will look forward to a reuniting embrace. I love you! XOXOXOXOXOXO
