@Judi9877 Good evening! Sounds like you've had a busy few days.

I went back to work today after two weeks of holidays. But it was even bigger than that. In 2023, I quit my job as a high school teacher due to severe burnout and moved interstate. I couldn't settle on a career where I wasn't a teacher and so, after 6 months of bouncing around jobs, I took a job as a Kindergarten teacher in a day care centre.

I needed to come home at the start of this year and accepted a teaching position. Last term, I taught small intervention groups, my teaching load was reduced and I only worked four days a week. This term, without really asking me, I am working five days a week, I have been moved to a grade 5/6 class and my teaching load has increased dramatically.

So today was my first day back in front of my own class, it was my first day of a full teaching load and it was my first day back from holidays.

I woke at 4 am and nerves and anxiety told me I needed to plan and prepare, so I did until my alarm went off at 5.45 am. It went well though - I did at one stage question whether I am going to be able to manage an increase in days and an increase in teaching load. But we shall have to wait and see on that front.

I've come home this afternoon to deep clean my house because I have a rental inspection tomorrow morning, but I will be at work so it has to be done tonight. Mind you, it isn't very messy, considering that I just moved in two weeks ago.

But busy busy...

Aww thanks for tag @Judi9877 I hear you're taking the challenges in stride today!! Hope you have a lovely night enjoying the clickety clack of your knitting needles! 😊💜

Hey @Judi9877 ,

Hope you are feeling better.

Your library actually makes you pay fines? I think we have fines, but they don't make you pay. It's more just a nudge to return books.

I hope you are okay.

Hi @Appleblossom

How are you?

I am anxious about my son but he doesn’t want me to be anxious. @oceangirl It can be so difficult being close to people. It is also not good, or even impossible to hide our feelings.

I have to do 2 singing things tmrw.

How are you @oceangirl

ChatGPT wrote me a dating profile 🙌🏼😂

“Looking for the real-life Jack O’Neill—unintimidated by brains, impressed by woodworking tools. Bonus points if you can handle a woman who knows how to drop a tree, manage a viral biocontrol program, and still wear trackie dacks like a queen.”

AI that knows my sense of humour ✅

@Glisten that's hilarious! Now all you have to do is find him! (wandering off to go vote and maybe play with ChatGPT...)

Hope you're having a good day xo
