I'm not even going to try to comprehend the schedule I need to keep today and tomorrow, so I will just say that most of Sunday was spent getting ready for evening classes, because there's no time to prepare during the days. Yes, I told my nurse colleague I could be at their job search because I cancelled my yearly checkup. She wasn't happy. I was honest with her. They will just tell me that my sugar is high, my blood pressure is high, and I need to do something to bring down the stress. I assured my nurse friend that cancelling a doctor's appointment was one way to subdue the stress. I know what they are going to tell me...I just need to find a way to keep up with the job I currently have.
As I talked with her, she pointed out how silly that sounds. It's true. She's in the same boat, and she reminded me that they will replace us within milli-seconds should we no longer be able to work. I agree. I just need to pull away from the dysfunction and stop trying to fix everything (even though that is what I do because I love the job I do and my students). Stand back and let others see it all for what it is.
Karal and I got a long walk in yesterday, although it was very cold on some streets where there was more shade. The warm sun didn't quite reach those areas. But when walking in the sun, it was really nice.
I am, though, forever grateful for my birthday omelette and the numerous spices purchased for me from Pencey's. Yes, barbecue season is around the corner.
I'm read for tonight's class and will make it around 5 p.m. - just in time. Tomorrow night's class...well, I need to figure that out some time on Tuesday.
Happy Monday, folks. Hope there's rye toast somewhere near your horizon.
