Last Day of Winter Break

-
Two weeks of Winter Break is up today. What a break it was. Kidney stone blasting and recovery, not much else going on. Yesterday at my follow up appointment I had the stent removed. So this morning I certainly feel much better. It was really hard to function with that tube inside of me. Very uncomfortable and I am not being a cry baby here. Speaking of being a cry baby, word must have gotten to this doctor that I was one, as he suggested I had the choice between getting it removed with sedation in an outpatient surgery or just in the office. I chose the office method since I didn't feel like missing a day of school. It really wasn't bad. So now I must get a grip on things and get myself physically prepared for school next week. The mental part is no problem. Lesson plans were made out before we even left school and submitted as well. We are covering clothing and shopping for clothes in both French and German classes. That should be easy to handle and fun at that. So the physical aspect of teaching, standing up, walking aorund, doing the paperwork efficiently every day, that's the part I need to get ready for most. My friend said to take the dog out for a walk. Too bad it's raining today. And tomorrow I have to take my grand-son back to North Carolina to his mother's which will take up half of that day. That leaves Sunday to walk. I will attempt to walk fo 20 minutes with the dog, ten minutes out and ten minutes back, or the entire mile loop around the school complex here which is a mile. That's the goal. Sí se puede.
That's Ollie and Chris, my son in law in Portland I think.

2018 is gone, Thank God. The last couple of weeks in December were the absolute worst. I had to undego kidney stone surgery last Friday. Still haven't quite recovered from that. They claim you recover in two days, not true. I tried to go to Ingles for a few items yesterday and couldn't really function too well. Checking out and talkng to the cashier was too much, I just kind of smiled. Well, on the bright side, my co-teacher and I started a YouTube channel. It's called The Dualing Language Teachers . This title is just too funny. My co-teacher came up with it. So we are planning to do weekly videos on there. Let's hope it will be a success. Something to look forward to in the new year. I am so glad that my brain worked overtime the day we got of school and the one after that, as I got so much stuff done for the new semester, unbelievable, really. It's like God helped me because He knew I was not going to be able to do any school work after the surgery. So here is 20

Spring Break in Tennessee

It's been a really nice Spring Break and I got to do lots of trail walking at our awesome Fort Loudoun State Park. There is nothing better to clear your head of all of the clutter and negative thoughts than going out into nature every day for a week. Monday we are heading back to school and will enter the end phase of the 2018/2019 school year. I would say it was a good year, full of challenges and new lessons to teach. On April 6, we will do a presentation on the Metaverse site at the TFLT Association Regional Workshop . I love that site. With so many components available, it really is up to the student how far he/she wants to take augmented reality. So, it's time to head back to reality on Monday. We can do this!
