Speaking of Self-Care...



We’re coming up on it, people.  Winter in the school systems.  And this winter, I will be in 3 schools AND nightly graduate school.  So not only do I need to build an immune system to adjust to a new school, but to 3 new schools in different districts.*  And, if I manage to get that under my belt, then I just have to survive nightly graduate classes where all of my peers are also navigating 3 schools. 

Needless to say, I think I’d better keep the Kleenex handy.

And remind me, when my brain gets fuzzy with cold symptoms, that I have moral and ethical responsibilities to my co-workers and classmates to stay home so as not to infect them with whatever I have. 

*Different school districts is key.  If I worked within the same district, I’d likely interact with siblings at the different grade levels—which would lower the rate of overall bacteria/virus contact. Think about it, has your little brother/sister ever been sick without you eventually getting it?

**This is not a blog for complaining-- posts like this will be rare!
