I haven't wanted to blog at all b/c I haven't run since last wednesday. I'm trying to be okay with that. I have been trying to keep up with strength but the excuses just roll on in.
I have had this ridiculous chest lung can't breath thing. It was only bothering me at night so I wouldn't sleep and then I take naps all day. I ran out of cough medicine. I finally called my doc today. She seems to think it is allergen related so she prescribed more cough medicine and an inhaler. Yuck.
At this point I can't say I miss running. I have a nagging feeling to go and run. But then it doesn't happen and I get all forget about and frustrated with myself. At this point it seems better to ignore the ugly running elephant in the room.
In better news, I start my new job on Monday (teachers only, Mon and Tues; Wednesday is the kids first day). Which means I can't go to Great America with my bro on monday like we had planned.
I will sign my contract tomorrow. But before that I need to find some liability insurance that I can purchase myself since I"m not hired through the school (i suppose I"m an independent contractor).
I was in my classroom yesterday and I get my own desk and my own students. We will be testing the first few weeks to determine the lowest readers and then provide support. I"m excited. I bought some organizational stuff since typical teacher stuff doens't seem required. I even have a scripted curriculum. Seems like it will be a nice first year. I don't have to do any of the normal teacher stuff (report cards, parent conferences) just helping kids get to grade level reading and writing. I"m sure once I get used to the program I will want to spice some stuff up and offere up suggestions. But for now I will do what I'm told.
