    Glad the power came back quickly, Meghan! We shut off our pilot on the heater this weekend. I think that was a bit too soon. It is a little bit chilly today. But it is supposed to be warm by the end of the week.

    Hormones make me hungry. I am going to bed early so I don't gnaw someone's arm off.

    Good morning.

    Thanks @KateNkognito we are grateful too! Really could have been A LOT worse. We were looking out the windows and saw the power company trucks come by and then leave and we were like nooooo!!! LOL Luckily they just went down the block and turned around and fixed our issue quickly. Phew.

    I hear you about hormones. Sigh... :( I was so tired from the power drama that I slept literally like a brick last night. Feeling better today. Sun is shining and it is almost 50 F out there. Working from the office today and tomorrow. Was nice having an extra day at home. My boss is currently on vacation in Europe with her family, so it is quiet here! No complaints! The new Assistant seems to be working out nicely too. Phew.

    Having more leftovers for lunch today. Had a nice ham sandwich for lunch yesterday. :)

    Have a good day and see you soon!

    I had a headache and felt fat and awful today, but one of my less-than-enthusiastic-about-school students said, "This is some cool science *kitten*, Miss!" You can't go wrong with lazers! :D I am gonna call the day a win.

    @Meghan509 Quiet days are nice days. Glad the new assistant is working out well. You seem less stressed.

    Good morning!

    Came in this AM to find that my coworker thinks she is positive for Covid. Ugh. The good thing is I did not interact with her in person yesterday. We went and wiped down the whole kitchen area, copier, front doors, etc. where she would have been. Fingers crossed. I don't really panic about getting it. Would just rather not have to deal with it or bring it home unknowingly. Sigh...

    Other than that, yes definitely feeling less stressed in general. Thanks, Kate! The office is pretty quiet today but I sure don't mind!

    Your kids are too funny, Kate! :smiley:

    Going to get a hair cut and highlights after work. Looking forward to that! Couple more weeks and then vacation!!

    Have a good day and see you soon.

    Hi all! I hit a 100 day streak then bam! Lost it! Ha! Well I’m taking that as a sign to smarten up!!!! All good here weather wise, yesterday was gorgeous! Today total rain! It’s spring, that’s the drill.

    I did end up with buying a Turkey on Sunday!! Went down to the store around 10:30 am bought a few other items & came home prepared it and in the oven by 12:30!! Delish!!! Super easy since I wasn’t having to clean up, vacuum, make a dessert or even have a shower!!! :# We used good dishes though!! Lots of leftovers and making soup of course!

    Kate I used to go to great lengths of hiding candies and one unusually warm spring I bought those plastic pull apart eggs you stuff yourself and I hide them all in the backyard and all over the lawn… it was so adorable! Until the raccoons thought I did it for them!!! I placed them all late at night but when we all got up the raccoons made such a mess of them all tearing apart foil wrapped choco eggs !!! Hahaha… if only there was video proof!! Glad you had a nice weekend! Lol & congrats on your science kid!

    I saw the weather Meghan and thought you might be in the middle of that!! Glad your MIL was able to enjoy yummy dinner with the rest of you!

    I’m having tea, contemplating the day. Gave the dog a bath yesterday… I think she loved it!!

    @mamainthekitchen That's a happy lookin' puppy! Glad you got your Easter dinner without the fuss! I laughed so hard about the raccoons! I can absolutely picture that happening here, too! :D

    @Meghan509 I hope you stay healthy! My neighbor's significant other, got it a month or so ago and only knew because they were headed out of the country and had to test.

    Today was... a day. Let's just say I know why PTSD is so high among teachers and leave it at that. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!

    Good morning!

    @mamainthekitchen Glad you had a nice Easter and thank you for sharing the cute doggie pic! She is adorable! Love your beautiful flowers too. I should take some pics of our spring flowers for you ladies!

    @KateNkognito hang in there! Before we know it the school year will be wrapping up. The year is already flying by.

    So far so good and feeling good. No Covid symptoms or anything. Thanks! Just a slight headache lingering, but those are lovely hormones. :(

    My coworker with Covid was prescribed a medicine called PAXLOVID. I Googled and it looks like it is a Pfizer medicine she said is supposed to help cut her symptoms down to nothing by early next week.

    Got my hair cut and colored last night and feeling new again. LOL I don't really have any gray hair, just a few flecks here and there but either way nice to feel blond and sparkly again. :blush:

    Hope you have a great weekend! See you soon.

    Today was better AND it's Friday! There was a kitten in the bushes in front of the school. It got rescued and shall be our mascot! (Seeing as how we're the Jaguars)
    Funny of the day: I said, in an absolutely serious voice, "Why is everyone sniffing his shoes? We do not sniff other people's shoes. Give him back his shoes. I don't care if they're real leather, I'm not sniffing them and neither should you. That's just weird." Be a teacher, they said. It'll be fun, they said. :D

    @Meghan509 Always nice to have a fresh new 'do! And glad you are still feeling good.

    Took a nap earlier. I'm good to stay up really late. Like 8 or maybe even 9. ;)

    Gooood morning!
    Light clouds in the sky here now but it’s going to be a sunny day and up to 13C today! (A balmy 55F)…. Should’ve cleaned all my windows yesterday!!!! I’ll really see the winters mess on them today! :sB)

    Lol on your students Kate!! I don’t know how you cope each day but if naps help then nap every day!! In fact, I’ll try to nap for you ;)

    Thanks for kind words of my sweet golden…. She is just such a lovely dog. I just shared my mango with her!!

    I cannot believe it’s going to be May soon!!! Ugh… I haven’t done anything I thought I would yet! Zero check marks on my lists!!!

    Ate well yesterday but last night was craving protein so I had some cheese… seemed to help! I’ve gone off cottage cheese lately… that used to be my go-to for lunch! I’m craving toasted sandwiches lately which is NOT what I should be having!! Sigh… more tea for now….

    Have a good weekend people!
    You’ll be looking fabulous with your new do Meghan! Hope those Covid germs stayed far away from you!!

    Good morning!

    Happy Monday!

    Thanks for the nice comments about my hair cut and highlights!

    Yes, no Covid here so I think we are safe! Phew. My coworker said her medicine has helped and she is back to feeling herself. She said she will be back in on Wednesday. Sounds quick to me... :o

    On the home stretch for almost vacation!! This week and next week and then we travel. Woo hoo!

    Last night we went to a concert. Good times!

    Have a good day and see you all soon!

    Good morning!

    Right, @KateNkognito!? Jeez. Yesterday turned in to one of those crazy days. Ended up having to call an ambulance for a colleague who was feeling weak and faint. Thankfully she is okay, but talk about stressful and scary. :(

    Today seems quiet with a lot of folks who should have been working remotely yesterday, are doing it today. Fine by me. Get outta my hair! LOL

    Hope you have a nice day and see you soon!

    @Meghan509 That's scary about your colleague! Glad they're ok!

    I went to work this morning but got sick on the way. Thankfully there was a sub available. I'm home. Slept like a rock for a while. Took some medicine. Feeling slightly better. Going to take this opportunity to catch up on a few things.

    Good morning!

    Oh jeez, @KateNkognito I hope you are feeling better today! Hope you were able to get some rest yesterday. You deserve it. :)

    Not too much here. Rocking and rolling. Busy day but okay. Productive!

    Hope your "Friday Eve" is good! Have a good one and chat soon.

    I slept for like 20 hours and felt MUCH better today! But progress reports are due tomorrow so part of today's assignment was "be good and let me catch up" :D

    Have a great end of the week!
