WOO HOO! Yesterday was a half day!
WOO HOO! We had an extra one-on-one staff available to work with my aggressive student.
WOO HOO! My professional development was manageable.
WOO HOO! Volunteering at the school’s Holiday Spectacular turned out to be fun.
WOO HOO! I have Friday night off so tonight is the last night I have to work this week.

What are you thankful for this Thursday?

I am thankful that my drive to work was uneventful. Roads in parts of my area were icy today with lots of accidents. The highway I take was clean and no ice.

At Thanksgiving there was a conversation with the non-locals about how we don't use umbrellas around here, you just pull up your hood and get on with it. While that is true, I do own several umbrellas, and with today being at least day seven of heavy rain, I pulled one out for the commute to work. It was a delightfully magical little tent that followed me where ever I went, and I arrived at the office relatively dry. So I am thankful for whoever invented the umbrella... which was most likely someone who lived in China over 4000 years ago. I hope they got a patent on it.

I am thankful that I got my flu and covid shots. I’m surrounded by very sick kids and adults who did not. For most people it’s an option. For me, my doctor has made it mandatory. I’m thankful that I listen to the experts.

I’m thankful that the one-on-one staff came back this morning. My aggressive student was without support for only one hour and he caused tremendous trouble in that short period of time.

I second the flu shots summer. 2 out of 3 schools have sent emails about an uptick in cases. At least if the kids get it it won’t be THAT bad

DD lives with her boyfriend now and she was in the ER with him last night. I got a call at 2 asking what they should do. He had a fever that was going up with Tylenol. Within 15-30 minutes it went from 101 to 102 with the Tylenol in him for 2 hours. He has Covid. I am sure she will get it as well. She does get some immunity from her antibody infusions. THankfully today is her last final exam but I am guessing she will not be starting her new job next week. It is working in a nursing home. She works at Culvers right now and it sounds like they all have it. She told her boss she wasn't going to be in tomorrow and he said she has to go in because they are getting to many call offs. The illnesses are getting bad here too. I told DD that she can't come to our house right now but if they need anything I will do a porch drop off.

Happy Friday what’s on your mind?
