Dear So and So

[indysteel]

((((Mimi and Don)))). I hope you both find all the strength, encouragement, support, and care you need on this journey.

Dear self -

Your life is fine. So you hate your job - no big deal. Yes it sucks, but things could definitely be worse. HTFU, buttercup.

Hugs to Pax, and Mimi and Don!

A great philosopher once said, "If work were fun they'd make you buy tickets."

I am glad to hear Don is adjusting to the treatments and you are feeling good, Mimi.
She Fly, no one should hate their job, since we spend so much time there. You have desirable skills. Start looking. And thank God that you can focus on cycling most of the time!

Dear body:
No no no no. You are not allowed to get sick. Finals are in a week, and I still have studying to do. No. Not allowed. No.
I hope this is just a holdover from this morning. Although this would explain why I've had such a bad time with trainer workouts for the past week...

Owlie, I just said the exact same thing to my body today. 3 days ago, I was just recovering from a viral infection that was making it hard to breathe. Then a kid sneezed into my face. And now, hellooo sore throat, headache and sniffles. My job is not giving me enough health insurance for this!

Dear life in general,

quit kicking my butt. Seriously. I walk around with a frown ALL the time because I'm stressed about work, school and well, work. I don't know how to handle the new behaviors in my classroom. I don't know how to set up my dang classroom. I don't know how to defend the decisions I make in my classroom to my co-teacher. And depressingly enough, yes, she's right, all I have are theories because neither of us have ANY reliable training in teaching special ed so I can't exactly demand that she go along with trying my ideas. Also, that flat tire that came when I was about to head off to school was NOT welcome.

Dear Contractor:

Since you have already wrecked the hardwood floors, the piano, and all the electronics in the house it might be better for you to go ahead and burn the place down to the ground. That way I could have all the trauma all at once, collect some money from insurance, and I could be finished with you.

Absolutely! Hating the thing we spend the most time doing is not a very pleasant way to live. Been there, done that. Never again.

Mimi- I was just thinking about you and Don...this is just one more hurdle but it sounds like you guys will get through it. Hang in there on the rollercoaster ride until it all calms down.

Pax- sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Hugs.

Thanks, jobob, Crankin and Tulip! I have started looking, but there's not a lot out there right now. Part of my issue is being picky on location - I don't want to commute like I am now.

I'm usually pretty good about not complaining because I know I have it pretty good. Yesterday was just a REALLY bad day.

Thanks for letting me vent .

p.s.
A really hard hill interval ride after work last night definitely helped!
