Today was the first real day that I actually felt like myself again. I got a bit of my spunk back if you will. I still become nearly speechless if anyone brings up the funeral or why I was out of town or asks how the family is doing. There just isn't words. For all these blogs, there just isn't words.
But somehow I managed to get back to me. I taught an hour long seminar on analysis and I think it gave me the boost I needed. It was all new faces and so I had to go in there gung ho like I normally have to do on day one.
Certain tips I've learned from my WW job like "don't start with Hello" have really helped my teaching I think.
I had a student contact me that hasn't been to class once until today. I told him if he was willing to work then we could make this work. He's already sent me a draft and a revised draft of the paper he missed!
The sun is coming into town. It's all looking up from here.
I'm still really behind and all my grading and my homework. I think I'm caught up at WW, though to be honest I haven't gone through the file from the day I missed and I'm pretty sure I haven't ordered some needed materials since I was supposed to do that on the 1st.
I think it is easier for me. I can be sad about things, but she wasn't a normal part of my life. My Dad sounds like he is doing good, but my Mom sounds so down. She's letting it all get to her center. I wish I knew how to lift her up.
I really want to send the kids some books or something. I should call more. I should call everyone more. I try, but driving is really my only time to do that these days. If I survive to May I should be able to handle almost anything at this point.
