A break from school work is always nice. Usually I spend my school vacations catching up on school work but not this past week. I had a nice relaxing time (for the most part) I only did school work for 6 hours on Saturday and 4 hours today (Sunday). I caught up on my shows that were on the DVR and I did some reading. I love when a book can actually make me laugh out loud. Laughter is a good thing and I need more of that in my daily life.
My vacation wasn't totally stress free. Thursday I spent over 8 hours in front of the computer trying to get an appointment for my Covid vaccine, but thanks to the awful way the state runs it's website, I had no luck. First the website kept crashing then when it worked I would find a place with 89 appointments available and I would click to start filling out the 6 pages of questions but never got past the 4th page before getting the message "No appointments available" as other people already filled up the spaces. The website should hold your place once you click on "schedule appointment" . I suppose there wouldn't be so many people trying to make an appointment if our Governor didn't say "You don't need proof of medical condition, we are using the honor system" BIG mistake!!! so now people like me with 5 risk factors can't get a vaccine but perfectly healthy, but not honest, people can get a vaccine. Oh well, I will try again next week. Some day this year I may actually get a vaccine.
Tomorrow I return to school to complete the last 77 days - I can't believe after 35 years of teaching I only have 77 days left. WOW. I just hope I can keep it together and do what I need to do for my students. I already have what my seniors call "senioritis"
Now time to relax in front of the TV to watch some sports. Nascar race at 3:00, Celtics basketball at 3:30 and then Bruins hockey at 7:00
