Hello there! Happy Sunday! With it being a short work week for me, this week went by fast. No complaints at all. The sooner the days go by, the sooner we are much closer to Summer Break. Three more months to go!
This week went really well. I began working with my coach again and enjoyed my runs. Much of the snow has melted and it is slightly warmer. There were some days where even if it was 20-30 degrees, there was no wind or little wind. I ran everyday (no surprise there) and also took a short bike class (too much?).
I finally used the stack feature for the bike classes and like it. However, I wished you could do that on the app. To stack running classes you can only do that on the website, but it will be so much easier to do it on the app too.
Some of the fun classes I took are below. I am not a huge fan of Shakira but there were some good songs and, of course, Matty is always great.
I took this one on Saturday and did not like it at all. The music and her constant talking really annoyed me. I could have sworn I took a similar one by Robin but now cannot find it. I actually enjoyed that class.
I also took a Feel Good Ride with Ally and nope did not feel good. 🙂 The music is a HUGE factor for me as well as the instructor. I think that is why I love Cody. He always makes me laugh and smile.
On Monday I took my mom to get her second vaccine. Last time I mentioned about the long walk to the actual vaccination room. Someone was nice enough to take her in a wheelchair but she had to walk back. This time someone took her in a wheelchair, waited for her, and then brought her back to the lobby of the hospital. She didn’t have to walk too much. Oh, but then we got off on the wrong floor of the parking lot and we ended up walking one level up. Yes, we could have waited again for the elevator but only one was working. She was not happy about it. 🙂 Throughout the week I checked in on her. She said she was fine. No effects.
On Tuesday I went to get my second vaccine. They were running behind a bit so I was there longer than when I went for my first one. I felt fine afterwards. The next day is when I felt awful. After my workouts, I got home and felt so tired. Not the usual tired from working out but a different kind of tired. Throughout the day it got worse. My students knew about the vaccine and I told them how I was feeling. I also told them that in case I had to log off, they had work to do that was posted on Google Classroom. I managed to hang on with them, but once class was over, I logged off and went to bed. I knew I had to sleep and took a melatonin. I also did a Calming Meditation class. I had chills, my body ached, and I had a slight headache, but no fever. I felt better about 24 hours later. It is interesting how the vaccine affected people in different ways.
On Friday I mentioned how in a few weeks I will have a new work schedule. With this new schedule (hybrid) I will still be teaching online but there will be students in my classroom. I know I will have 2 students two days a week and beginning on April 7th I will have 3 more students. There are two groups, Group A and Group B. Monday will be a remote day for everyone. Group A will go to school on Tuesday and Wednesday and Group B will then go on Thursday and Friday. Even though I will have students in my room, they will still be learning virtually. I will still be teaching everyone online just like I am doing now. Everyone will be wearing a mask. If students that are in the room have questions, they will need to ask me on the computer just like they do now. While I am happy that I will have a new schedule, I really do not like this arrangement. I’d rather teach everyone in the room or everyone online, but not do both. Is this ideal? Probably not but I do know that no matter what schedule or plan is put together by the District, not everyone will be happy about it. 3 more months! 3 more months! Oh, and two weeks till Spring Break.
Whew, those are long paragraphs. Yikes. 🙃
