I would definitely say I was in a fog at school yesterday. I was so incredibly tired and a bit nauseous and dizzy. I didn't know where the chemo aftereffects ended and the grief started, but I was struggling.
During math I kept transposing numbers and making simple little mistakes.
Luckily 3rd graders are very forgiving and I have a sign on my wall that states: Mistakes Are Proof That You Are Trying.
They recite it to me when I make mistakes and I gratefully thank them.
Despite the fog, there were lighthouses, which every foggy day needs.
My team wrapped me in hugs, multiple hugs. They had gifts for me. They are truly the best.
On Tuesday Bonneville had sent me a beautiful plant, delivered to our house and at school Camie threw her arms around me. Shawna did too. Courtney stopped me in the hall. The nurse checked in. Elementary school faculty and staff are the biggest supporters you'll ever want or need. I am sure of that.
There was a small collection of teacher appreciation gifts on my desk from my students, leftover from last week.
Maybe one of the best things about the day was the way some of their faces lit up when they saw that I was back.
Me too kiddos; so glad to see you.
