Easter week

This is what I have been working on this week.  That is after I finished my grading this week.  I spent two days grading this week.  On Wednesday I cut this out.  Thursday I went to Town all day.  So no sewing.  Friday the house was mopped and vacuumed.  Then I got to sewing.  Saturday today I could not find time to sew.  Maybe Easter afternoon.  That means I will likely wear it on the day we go back to school.  Now I see that I want to remove a pocket.  Maybe I can finish it tomorrow.  Hope everyone has a great week.  Once it is done, I will post a new photo of the finished shirt.

Today is the last day of my freedom as a substitute teacher.  Tomorrow I am a long term substitute.  I have many fears.  I am going to the school during his prep period to ask a bunch of questions.  He is confident I will be fine.  The administration is sure I will be fine, I am the worried one.  I will be a teacher for 1 week over a month for now.  He has surgery later this week and will know more after that.  For now they have told him 5 to 6 weeks.  If the surgery has any complications, it could take longer.  A piece of me hopes it takes longer but part of me thinks I can do this too.    I have not had my own class since 2001.  Part of me is afraid it has been too long ago.  Too many things have changed since I had my own class.
Now you see some of things making me crazy.
Today I am making rice, we have re-fried beans, tortillas, bread, bagels, grapefuits.  Not sure what to make with all of those, but I will make meals, and healthy ones at that.  For now I am looking forward to spring break just for the rest.  I still have to plant seeds and grow more vegetables. My plan for now is rest that week and plant food.  I hope the snow is over, but we still need more wet stuff.
That is my life in a nutshell for now.

catching up

So I have been very quiet lately.  Last week I caught a cold and only worked Monday and a half day on Tuesday.  I then stayed home on Wednesday and it seemed to get worse so I also stayed home on Thursday.  Then when I still felt badly, I decided to cancel my job for Friday.  This week I have worked more days than last already with Friday's job making a third full day.  I am not quite well, but I do not feel like I wish I was dead.  That is a start in the right direction.
This week I worked, Monday, Wednesday and will work on Friday.  I went to day bible study on Tuesday. Today I am home and cooking re-fried beans.  I also took little dog for a walk.  It has been good so far.  Maybe I can get and stay healthy now.  Next week I begin a long term substitute assignment.  This is the longest ahead I have ever been asked to work a long job.  I have done another long term job and did not know it would turn into what it was.  I hope this will go smoothly.  He is doing all he can to make it work.  The administration is helping the best they can.  I hope this works.  I should enjoy this.  I may become more sporadic in the meantime.
