Too much time? #SOLC21

 

Thanks for hosting the Slice of Life challenge,
Two Writing Teachers

This weekend I have four days of no school.  Our school district organized a vaccination clinic for all the employees. I'm so grateful for the opportunity.  We had our second vaccine today, so I'm hoping for limited side effects.

Now I have to figure out how to balance a whole lotta time off.  How much do I work on lessons for school?  How do I get enough exercise and home projects done?  And when do I nap?

Ugh.

Is my lack of executive function showing?

Today I did manage to wash all the bedding and clean bathrooms.  My daughter and I walked two miles at the forest preserve.  I did get some reading and relaxing on the couch time this afternoon.

I think I will work schoolwork for a couple hours tomorrow and Monday.  I won't leave it for the night before (I made that mistake last week and it was awful!). 

I will make a goal to get to the bookstore and finish the book I'm reading.

Come Monday, I resolve to not regret any time choices I made this weekend.

  1. I'm convinced that this pandemic has screwed with all of our executive functioning skills. It sounds like you accomplished a lot today. Let that be enough.

  3. Definitely a gift to have four days off! Love that you're planning ahead. Sometimes I feel guilty after a break and think, "what the heck did I even do?" This year, though, I'm trying to let that go ha! Enjoy your time.
