Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 60 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. Where did summer go? I'm at work and I'm already sooooooooo ready to get out of here. I didn't fall asleep until about midnight last night so I'm exhausted. The desktop computer in here is doing what I call the "Blue Screen of Death" which no one knows how to fix except for the district tech guys. It used to happen like once or twice a year but this is the second time in the 5 days that I've been here this month. They need to replace it. Because I can't use the projector the students are working on their own. I have my Chromebook so I am working on grading things from the past week. There is a pep rally this afternoon which will pretty much push me to my limit. The noise usually already gets my anxiety going but today with my stress and exhaustion level. . . it isn't going to be pretty. I will go down there and show my face but I also won't hesitate to leave and come back up here if it gets to be too much. I can't wait to get back to the apartment for a nap. What's everyone else up to today?

I'm sorry you're so stressed out. My knee hurts so bad all I can do is go to the bathroom and back. Hope you have a good weekend.

Linda, if it's that bad can you get to the doctor for some meds or something?

@MarieCoyle It needs to be replaced. I'm 100% sure of that. Knees are so much worse than having hips replaced. I don't want to go through that again. Plus I need to lose weight I'm sure before they will do the surgery.

I am of the opinion that stress is more exhausting than manual labor. After the week you had, you must be completely exhausted. I wish you could take a week to go somewhere and just disappear for a bit, to heal and regroup...you had a monumental loss. Be kind to yourself.

Last week was mentally exhausting. This week it is more physical as I am back to work and being on my feet and running all over the building after 2.5 months off. It is always a shock to the system. My feet HURT and my calves have been cramping up. It is like having to get back into shape.

I plan to do a bit of getting things out of my closet either to give to Camila first or to donate if she doesn´t want them.

I’m having lunch at Chuy’s, going for a walk at the Falls of the Ohio State Park, and going to post a song you don’t know.
