Thanks @NightFury, it's been a pretty tough time lately and I wasn't on for a while. I'm always happy to chat though if you ever want to check in or ask questions 😊.
Wow I used to want to be a teacher but life never turned out the way I hoped. Can imagine it would get very full on at times though. I've thought about doing the guided recovery but anxiety is a big issue, hope the call goes well for you. Sounds like a busy week for you, hope it all goes smoothly.
I got nothing on this week as far as I know.

@MissGremlin I'm new, I don't know people well and I didn't want it to be weird. I was relieved when I saw a reply from you yesterday.
Teacher life is full on. No day is ever the same. You're constantly on the go and I struggle a little because self-care isn't really a value in the way things are scheduled for teachers.
I don't know if the call will go smoothly but I'll show up and try my best. I need it.

@NightFury we were all new once. I'm a bit weird anyway, normal is boring 😂.
I bet it can be, each day would present its own challenges I'm sure. That sad cos self care is really important, hopefully you get the chance for some self care over the weekends.
Well as long as you show up and try your best that's all that matters 😊

@ale_inmelb you'll get used to it eventually. The summer's are beautiful here and winter is cold, but the day's are crisp and clear.
@MissGremlin I'm a bit weird too so that makes two of us. Ahah.
