Wednesday state of the Saber: work!
Work has begun in earnest, with the expected MEETINGS appearing at unexpected times (ad hoc, folks - when do people ever learn?)
I am enjoying it so far, though they are giving me classes out of the blue and I am the 'dogsbody' for emergencies (read: expendable). Tuesdays are my horrible days with only an hour for a breather. Mind you, I am taking completely new classes and they need about two months to get used to me and my style. Hope the school isn't expecting me to perform a miracle (I have a feeling that they might).
The exhaustion was expected. I haven't taught for two years. But wow, I slept heavily! Perhaps the 5.15am wake-up time is playing a factor here.
Writing is now on a standstill when I grapple with this new thing in my life. Changes.
Cub keeps asking me how I am coping with the job. Dot knows something is going on and greets me enthusiastically whenever I return from work.
Need to get my energy levels back on par. Going to PHEMAS will kick my butt into action (hopefully).
