Am Not Coping

yeah its getting silly re fires nothing really burnt here except trees. theres millions of hectares of them @Zoe7

Glad today was another good day even if it felt long @Zoe7

Hi @MDT that’s indeed a worthy tome (Carl Jung’s deep body of work) so now I’m wondering if you’ve waded (pun intended) into Oscar Wilde’s “The importance of being earnest”?!?

Go @Zoe7 on dinner & work prep

Special hellos to @Shaz51 & @Former-Member - hoping there have been some easy parts to your day.

Week 3 today of my new job which is going well I think. Must dash out again an to an inservice (unpaid but that’s ok) & am interested to see what we are taught in a practical session about therapeutic interventions. I’ve felt pretty good in terms of mood & cognition over the last few days. Makes me realise how sick & impaired I was in my functioning but I suppose that’s all part of the journey too. Really wish I had more energy & some ambition but I think that might be gone for good with the meds & the hypothyroidism (actually the latter is being effectively treated according to last blood test). Better hit the road now. Have a good evening everyone @Snowie @TAB @eth

Great to see you checking in and updating us how you are going @Sam3 It does sound like there are some positives in your world and that is good to hear. You also sound like you are getting through work better too. It certainly does help when our mood and cognition is better. I hope you enjoy your session tonight and get something out of it

Daily update ... @Faith-and-Hope @MDT @TAB @Sam3 @Snowie @eth @Teej @CheerBear @Sans911 @Shaz51 @Appleblossom @Adge @BlueBay and all following along...

Had a really good morning. My little boy in my reading group that layed on the floor banging like a drum last week actually contributed today. He read the book we were all reading and then read the book he brought with him also but he did give us some relevant facts and talked to me after the lesson so that is real progress. We will work slowly on getting him to do the rest of the work that the group does but I am more than happy with how he behaved and contributed a little today.

Worked with my usual couple of boys for maths after recess and they actually got the work today so that made me feel good as well. They just need one on one time so they are not disruptive in the class when they don't get it.

Took some kids to the library after luch to do their individual projects and got really into helping one girl who wants to look at abstract artists. Introduced her to Kandinsky and Matisse and she had a look at some art from many different artists - it was, as you could imagine, a nice afternoon helping her.

After school I sat with another teacher and helped her to navigate a computer program for recording student learning plans - she had never been taught how to do it so was very grateful for my help. Felt a bit like I was staring into space by the end of it but we got a bit done.

Was asked today to take the 3 prep classes on Friday as we have many teachers out and the prep teachers still need to finish their testing. I am NOT a prep teacher but will read them a story and get them to do some activities around the book - I have chose a Paddington book as they are doing the letter P this week ...and because I love Paddington Bear and it is also about rainbow colours - plenty of arty stuff I can do with that

Fur babies fed and me next then settle in for a very quiet night. Hoping everyone has had an okay day and your night will be peaceful

Thanks buddy. I really didn't want to go to work this morning but glad it was an okay day @MDT

way to go sister @Zoe7
