All the stress and overextension of myself has given me a very bad cold. Note to self: take more time to relax and enjoy my friends and family right after I finish teaching this fast track class at the end of the month; turn in my midterm grades; grade my online students' speeches; write an editorial for the paper to not reduce the music teaching staff; make an appointment for Kenzie to start her Humera shots; make an appointment for Maddy to start tennis lessons; and make an appointment for the dog's hair cut.
Right now I'm going to take the Scarlett O'Hara approach and "worry about all that tomorrow."
I actually find comfort in reading about your "overextension." It makes me realize that I'm not the only one, or even the worst off. I have fewer familial responsibilities, but I'm wiped out.
ReplyDeleteI knew that was a cold. Take care of yourself.
