Today I did something I had never done since becoming a teacher, took a whole personal day to do nothing. The last time I took a whole personal day (2010) I used it to go to court.
While I do take pride in my attendance and punctuality, this district has a way of stressing one out if one (I) allows it! So, while I struggled with taking the day off, because I know subs are rare these days...again...because of the district, I had to. Fighting takes energy and I'm good for nothing broken down and stressed!
Today was beautiful and I did whatever I felt, namely rest my mind and body!
Some call me "Flem"
