Long Friday, working Saturday... Lazy Sunday.. Prayer in heart

Good morning from this side of the planet. It's 10:40 AM here and we have a cloudy Sunday today after a night of rain.
I always have a long Friday and I work from 8:30 in morning to 3:30 in evening on Fridays. But this Friday was way too long. I worked at a stretch from 8 to 5:30 in the evening with 3 small breaks to of 10_20 minutes each. And then Saturday too was a working day starting 7:30 in morning to 5 in evening... Phew! It was two long days in a row and that left me fully exhausted. 
I had to work so long as it was PTM ( Parents Teachers meetings) for our school. Each parent set is given 30 minutes with teacher. So I could cover almost all parents that I need to meet in these two days.
Friday was like a regular working day and on top I could accommodate half a dozen parents by stretching my work time on both ends... One set of parent early morning before my classes and rest five sets after my classes for day were over. And that left me so exhausted that I had no energy left for a late Friday night TV / movie watching with husband. We shifted our plan to Saturday. And on Saturday after dealing with another 18 sets I was really exhausted. But still I gave company to my husband for some drinks( his beer and mine banana shake
) and we watched some comedy show together.
Now it's Sunday and I have not much on plan. I am exhausted and need a full lazy day. I deserve it. And definitely when I have another two long days Monday and Tuesday in a row. Still left with another 10 sets of parents and I have given them the time slot before and after class time. So again I will be stretching my work time.
But I had a good time because I got positive feedback and responses from parents. 
They could see noticeable positive changes in their children. 
That explains why I was not around here in last two days and why I will not be much around in next two days.
I am leaving you with the image of prayer plant. We all need a little prayer in this crisis time. I just got this plant few weeks back and didn't know the name. But while putting a query of nerve plant ( fitonia) in one of my posts, I received a response with picture of Prayer plant. And I was like "Oh! I have a prayer plant! "
Keeping you all in my prayers and thoughts

@RebeccasFarm Oh! I see. This is my first time with this plant. SO got worried if it is a fragile one and might die with little carelessness.

@arunima25 I never heart it called Prayer Plant, I know that in nature it is a vine, it climbs on the trees.

Yes that's the biggest per we get in our teaching job. That keeps us motivated.
I have been resting the whole day. My body badly needed it. I loved this plant the moment I saw it and wanted it for my home

@crazyhorseladycx I agree. Now I am more motivated to work. Such feedback work wonders in boosting my energy levels.
I am hoping that it would do good and thrive like other plants in my garden. I treat them like my babies

I just go them few days back. They are vines in Nature. You might have seen them climbing on trees in places that have lots of trees. Soon it will need support to climb.

Very exhaustive. I woke up late today, did very few needed chores, took my brunch and went to sleep at 12. I slept for a little more than three hours. So I guess I am living a real lazy Sunday

Yes. And a physical PTM is better than this online one. This becomes tedious. No wonder I slept like a baby post lunch. I have woke up after 3 hours to be here
