Back at it

 Yesterday was a long day.  I felt a lot better as the day went on and I am glad I stayed home for that reason, but I felt antsy to be at school.

And that is a good thing.

School is so physically hard and sometimes I think, "I should just quit and be home."  Really, going to school is a big help to me mentally.  It distracts me and I enjoy it, even though it is hard.

I talked on the phone with Braeden and Mark visited me in my office before he went to class and after he returned home from class.  I talked to Adam a few times as he was driving from Nashville to Atlanta.  

He decided it was a wash time-wise between driving and flying when you considered navigating airports and car rentals so he just drove.

Also, he likes to drive. (I talked to Enoch yesterday and I told him Adam would have been a very happy long haul truck driver.)

He said he wasn't going to stop at Buc-ee's and I acted like I believed him.

He sent me this:

I miss that kid.

I am grateful to go back to school tomorrow and I'm glad everyone there is so kind and patient with me.  I have had multiple nightmares over the years about being home and realizing I didn't get a sub.

Well, that happened.

On Monday night I wrote sub plans and sent emails to people and got everything arranged except for the (really big) detail of putting in for a sub!

Yesterday morning, I thought, "I wonder who my sub is.  I didn't see an email."

Then I felt the sickening realization that I had forgotten to put in a sub request!  I quickly emailed Rachel, one of the secretaries.  She said, "Don't worry.  It's taken care of."

So kind!  I still feel very foolish about it, but I'm grateful for the safety net that cleaned up my mess.

I finally got my procedures scheduled for next week!  Guess what I did first thing? (Scheduled my subs!)
