I have been lagging a lot in the evenings, and it is getting harder to remember to make a post here about the day, or whatever, so mornings might be the new thing. I usually have around an hour to do this and that, and usually I am in a slightly better mood than at night.
Those peaceful calming dreams are sort of continuing. No feeling dreams, and lots have included vignettes from NYC (last night I was visiting - along with executives of my former company - the basement of an apartment being built on 12th Avenue in Manhattan, complete with a swimming pool, and it got stranger from there), but no stress and anxiety. Maybe, hopefully, I have turned an emotional corner.
School is about the same. Finally had my video appointment, and the class went rather well. I do lessons easily, script them, remember what to interject, lots of praise. It is when the class won't cooperate, or one or two won't, that throws off the whole game. Friday morning I get to watch it with my guiding teacher, and we will see what I can improve. See ... positive attitude.
Today and tomorrow I am out of the school at a seminar for classroom management and motivating students. If rumors are true, there should be about 10 teachers from my school there - I know of at least 5 so far - and in the past I would have worried about students learning, my sub, etc. I spent a lot of time prepping the room for the sub, so if one shows up (my last one didn't) things will go smoothly. I am not even thinking about it, though. Tomorrow I will still have to trudge back to school, as the parent-teacher conferences from last week that were snowed out have been rescheduled.
