Summer is Over, Now We Settle In

Well summer is officially over. Well okay maybe not so much when the temps are still like 108 F. But for me it still is the season of summer is over as we have returned to the classroom. Which for me is an amazing and lovely thing for more than one reason. Yes I like working with my students. Yes I actually like my job. However it is way more that makes me thrilled at returning to work this year. It is the final year I will need to teach prior to having my GCS.

I have mentioned that here before right? Of course I have. Well at least I think I have, lol. If I haven’t mentioned it before, then I am telling you now, I am having GCS (bottom surgery) with Dr. Satterwhite in San Francisco. My current date is set for June 6th, 2022. Sounds like a great day to change my physical being right? Right! Well to me it sounds fabulous and lovely and wonderful and amazing, and all I need to do is to actually make it to that day.

To that end, what I need to do right now with my job is to make it through this school year. I have it scheduled such that I will leave for SF the very last day of my job, or even maybe a day or two prior to the last day of my job. And honestly I am having a very difficult time waiting! Ugh! Ahck! Somebody said to me recently that it seemed as though I am getting way more antsy the closer it comes towards my surgery. She was afraid that statement would upset me. I told her that no it didn’t upset me because it was the complete and total truth!

I am for sure getting way more antsy the closer it gets to my surgery day. I kind of feel as though I am often losing my shit! But I have made it this far, and I know I can make it through this school year. Which is all I have to do. Make it through the very same thing that I wasn’t sure how I ever would and yet I have done it successfully 25 years in a row. Yes that means that I have officially been teaching for 25 years. Wow!

Okie dokie!

Keeping my head down. Doing my job. Making it one day at a time.

Love you!
