Good morning from this side of the planet. It's 11:40 AM as I write this post. I am done with the work at school and it just got over at 11:30. The two teachers are back and I had no substitution classes today and I finished at my usual timeI enjoyed the last two days of taking their classes. I did some singing and dancing with the preschool class and we learnt a song about Photosynthesis in Grade 2.. Children learn better and with joy if some fun and music are bought to the lesson.Oh! I love to work with children and of all ages. Today, one more teacher from High school is going to take her shot and if she is sick, I might have to substitute for her in the coming two days. And that would be in the afternoon after 1. She takes Maths and Science. I have a background of teaching those subjects last year and so it should not be a big issue. She will email me the lesson plan and problems that I need to handle in her absence. Seems, it's teachers taking turns to get vaccinated and substituting for each other. This will go for some time as we still have teachers and staff who need to be fully vaccinated. We woke up to light drizzle in the morning for some time. It was great to have two days break from the rain and some sunshineNow it's clouded in the sky but no rain. If it does not rain, gardener might come in the afternoon. The garden needs some good hours of work. Today I went for a morning walk with my husband. I had half an hour of walk in the premise and we walked few kilometres. It was my first outdoor exercise since I contracted the virus in April. Felt really good and I was happy that my energy level could keep up with a walk at a medium pace and for few kilometers without getting exhausted. Now before I shut down the laptop and head to the kitchen for making lunch, let me be here and enjoy mylottingTake care and have a good time in your mylot corner

It is good to walk if you have a companion.

Some people are naturally good with children and develop a quick rapport with themThat's a real quality. My mom suggested I be a teacher but I never took that seriously. And now destiny took a turn and I landed up here and I just love it.

@arunima25 Yet tackling the more nuisance making or troublesome kids could be an issue. I see some students in my kids' class disturbing the whole class and being disrespectful even with the teachers.

That was quite a big update! A walk in the park is always good. We have started a few but not so much. Good that you have recovered quite well, but of course I know that you are very disciplined as well. It is still good if teachers can perform backup for others. At times, we get phone calls even on our off days. Here we are handling hot and humid weather and a few rains here and there only bring temporary relief. Have a nice Sunday.

@arunima25 Yes streets and roads get flooded with just a few heavy rains. But the humidity needs much more rains. I remember that it rained much more in 2018 and last year.

Yes, I always have a lot to talk. We have a good work culture in our school. We have very friendly and cooperative colleagues. It feels comfortable to be working with them. I saw the videos of flooded streets in Delhi and Gurgaon. Oh! That humidity can be terrible. Today I took some dose of Vitamin D walking on my terrace. It's rare these days that we get sun.

My stroll in the garden several times in the day - ofcourse if it is not raining - is my exercise. Good you had the energy to complete that walk.

Several walks in a day are actually quite healthy. I am happy that I could do few kilometers. I have to increase the duration and pace. My husband and I have decided to go at least thrice a week for walks. Rest day my indoor yoga, cardio, and weight exercises are good.

Glad teachers are getting vaccinated there. You must be recovering well. Take it slow and easy. Hopefully, you can add a few more steps a day.

Yes, the government is very particular about getting all teachers vaccinated before the states decide to open the physical school. The threat of a third wave is looming around and it has started in many countries already. I plan to go more regularly to walk whenever I get the company of my husband or daughters. Planning to slowly increase my pace and duration of the walk.
