My New Work Schedule

I'm not crazy about it.  I walked so much today that my legs are stiff and tired.  My favorite post last school year was monitoring the high school bathrooms.  Now I only get to do a half an hour.  It is what it is.  I got a 60 cent raise so that helps.  


I am happy to have purpose again and of course, paychecks!  Did I tell you about my best friend letting me in on Teacher's Insurance?  I switched and am saving approximately $600 a year!  Just a little perk!

Good morning! Bill, I just started working in the school that my best friend teaches at in April as a hall monitor. I only worked about 10 weeks and then we had summer break for 2.5 months. Walking the halls is basically just getting steps in although I did have some students come up to me asking for help. I really loved my schedule last school year. I got to know a lot of the high school students. Oh well. I am just happy to have a job. I didn't work for over 5 years. I went through a lot of savings. I am thrilled to be working. I will get used to the extra walking. I didn't know that you were in the profession too.

Thanks Mel! I only work a 20 hour week but I'm happy to get a raise!

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
