Good morning myLot

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127409) • United States 10h

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 73 degrees F and dark here at the Jersey Shore. The high for today is 89. Going to have to turn the AC on again. My poor bank account. I woke up at 3:15am. 3am is my...

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127409) • United States 20h

Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. It is 83 degrees F and cloudy here at the Jersey Shore. We are expecting a storm, I can hear thunder, and there is a tornado watch. I have the windows open and a table top fan on...

What the heck happened to my pill case?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127409) • United States 21 Jul

I went to take my morning meds today and everything was broken up and dissolved. It was literally just sitting on the counter. Its not like my poor book that Claire knocked into the bath. It was just sitting there. I have...

Trying to get work to bring back home ec

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127409) • United States 20 Jul

When I started working at the high school the push was for all students to go to college. There were like 5 AP English classes and I was like "there definitely aren't enough students who qualify for that". I saw parents refusing...

What was up with that World Cup half time show?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127409) • United States 20 Jul

I have zero interest in soccer/football so I haven't watched any of it. None. I did see terrible reviews of the first ever half-time show today for the final match here in NJ and they were pretty scathing so of course I had to see...

I have to go into work this week

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127409) • United States 19 Jul

I make it a policy to stay the heck out of that place from the minute I walk out on the last day and the minute I have to show up on the first day of the next school year. There is absolutely nothing that I need to do for the...

Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. It is 84 degrees F and cloudy here at the Jersey Shore. We have a tornado watch which is very unusual for this area. I'm not worried about it. Just bring on the thunderstorm! I wound...

Do you dream at night?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127409) • United States 18 Jul

I do. Doesn't matter if I just fall asleep or if I take melatonin or a prescription sleep medication. Hell even chocolate causes dreams. I have very vivid dreams. I occasionally shout (which my neighbor has said), my heart races...

I'm getting my own classroom again!

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127409) • United States 18 Jul

There are all sorts of things that cause stress as a teacher but not having your own classroom and having to "float" is up at the top of the list. When you are a brand new teacher it is kind of expected but as you work your way up...

Where did the day go?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127409) • United States 17 Jul

Oh boy. I guess this past week of insane sleep finally caught up with me. I had plans to go to the pool today but I pretty much slept the day away. Like hours upon hours. I woke up at 10pm and well here I am catching up on the...

Where did the day go?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127409) • United States 17 Jul

I was up in the middle of the night so I took 100mg of Seroquel to get back to sleep. Yeah that got me until 11am. I don't even remember why I laid back down but the next thing I knew it was 5:30pm. I lost a whole day! This of...

The biggest surgery scar that I have

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127409) • United States 16 Jul

Oh it is nuts. I've had 5 full surgeries by now as well as an endoscopy with propofol which knocked me out and had me paranoid when I came out of it. Good times. The gallbladder was supposed to be taken out back in 2010 after...

So about Trump's pathetic attempt to improve the Reflecting Pool

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127409) • United States 16 Jul

Of course it was going to be a disaster. That's what Trump does. He had the ginormous Reflecting Pool by the Lincoln and Washington monuments drained so he could give a buddy a $13 million no-bid project. Of course later when...

Lots of turnover at work in the upcoming year

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127409) • United States 16 Jul

I'm talking about administration. In April or May it was announced that the building principal was retiring. It made sense. He's got both the years of service and age. He and I were always friendly and ready to talk about Jimmy...

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 87 degrees F and cloudy and hazy here at the Jersey Shore. It has something to do with wildfires up in Canada. The high for today is 97 and there's supposed to be a...
