Auspicious August 2025 W.I.S.H. Thread

[Summer2018]

I just want to give you all a heads-up that after the 20th, I may be MIA a lot of the time. The beginning of the school year is quite challenging under normal circumstances, but this year I am also working after school, and they took away our paraprofessionals. So far I have 19 students, 5 of which have special needs. I also have 4 retainees, 3 of which I expect to refer to special education. That will mean that almost half of my students so far will have special needs, and I will not have my assistant. 8 of my students speak Portuguese, and 3 speak Spanish. I'm awaiting the last 5 students to register, and God only knows what their needs will be.

So, I will not be signing up to host for September, and possibly October. I will try to pop in, but I am entering survival mode in one week.

If you believe in prayer, I could really use some prayers right about now. Good vibes work too.

Woohoo.. yesterday, for the first time in a very long time, I woke up feeling like myself. And I had a good productive work day with my brain functioning much better. And woohoo that I finished with the antibiotics yesterday.

Woohoo... today I have my first appointment with a chiropractor in my town. After all the coughing and laying around I really need an adjustment, so fingers crossed that I like him.

Woohoo... to kick of vacation I have a massage appointment Saturday morning, then Sunday I head down to the ocean. I'm going to the area I visit every year, one of the towns is where I was born and we lived as a young family, so it will be very nostalgic as well as very ocean-y. Plus I'm going to go thrifting to some of the places my favorite YouTube thifter goes to, which should be fun.

It's Thankful Thursday! - What are you thankful for today?

I'm thankful that I do like the new Chiropractor and his treatment approach. Sadly he didn't do an adjustment yesterday it was just the exam and x-rays. Hopefully my massage Saturday will help enough that I can get some good walks in at the ocean.

Also thankful that I am feeling better in time to really enjoy my week off and not have it just be another week of laying around.

I am thankful for my summer job. Tomorrow is the last day. It gave me extra income that I unexpectedly needed. It kept me out of trouble and gave me a sense of purpose. I grew attached to campers and staff, and they grew attached to me. One of my campers made a friendship bracelet that spelled out, "I love Mrs. M."

I am thankful that summer weather will continue into the next several weeks, so even though I must go back to school, I will be able to swim on the weekends.

I am thankful that instead of gaining weight, I lost weight this summer.
