Didn't get a notification for yours either @Faith-and-Hope but did @Former-Member 's ....hope you are already in bed and sleeping Pippi 
I am trying to stay in the present day and just do what I can in the moment - not looking forward but also knowing how much I need to get done. It is a hard balancing act at the moment. I am completely overwhelmed by everything and feel myself sinking quickly ...unable to focus and feel like I am just going through the motions - the hard part with that is I need to be able to think, need to be able to function and definitely need to be able to concentrate to pull it all together. I feel like I am leting my co-teacher down but I also have more to do than her with the dual roles and my timeline does not fit with hers. The reports are not due for another week (Monday week) so I have time - as long as the pressure is not there.
This latest sad news has just further added to the already dark place I have been in for sometime. I am wearing the mask well but it is really affecting me both mentally and physically. It is taking the little energy I do have to get through each day but everyday I feel sick and exhausted ...and my brain is not functioning well at all. I do not have time to grieve but that is also not healthy ....
I know what you mean about letting things wash over me as I can as well as vaguely sketching in what I can but without that future planning (for the week at least) I become more overwhelmed in each day that I haven't planned ahead of time. I just do not have the energy each day to get through work and then plan for the next day as well. If I have a tentaive plan for the week I can get through better.
There is also the emotional toll work is taking on me. We have had our fair share of "issues" to deal with over the past week and a lot of TLC snd talking that has had to go into our roles with the kids. There is support there but we are the ones at the frontline dealing with it all ...and it is not at all easy. I can usually handle these kind of things but when I am not doing so well myself it hits me harder ....I feel like everything is closing in and I cannot stop it right now but I will keep swimming and hope the next wave brings me bacl to shore and allow me to breath again ...eventually....
