Motivation

I know things go easier when I plan out a week in advance, as we are supposed/required to do. The tough part is - there is one lesson to go in the chapter, which means some review. And Wednesday is a field trip for 50 of the students, leaving 60 at school (if none ditch). Friday during the last period we have students we will have an incentive - Ice cream social...and that class is the one farthest behind. Funny how there is always once class that struggles with discipline and falls behind on learning. That leaves me with two "toss-up" days this week, with a test in there.

Just hard to get things done on the weekends. Weather has been REALLY nice. Dark during my morning commute, so I picked up a front light, not for me to see, but for cars to see me. And since Monday mornings are especially troublesome, I do all my packing up the night before. Breakfast and lunch, clothes, lesson book, etc. in the messenger bag.

My poor breathing machine. One of these days I need to go back and hand them back the replacement part that didn't work. Both of the usual technicians weren't there and the lady helping me gave me something she thought would work, but advised me to just find the part that broke off and super-glue it. Which worked for about a week. At which point I noticed the replacement part doesn't really match the other parts I have. So I have a cobbled together solution. I wish they could just make the mask so it won't break (as this one has, twice, in the exact same spot).
