Good morning from this side of the planet. It's 10:43 AM as I write this post. It's another damp and cloudy day. It's drizzling right now. We had heavy rain last night for few hours.
I came to school at my usual time at 8:30. And there is no work for me here
. Well, the two morning sessions could not happen as the two children didn't come to school. They haven't informed the reason, they would usually do. I hope that all is well in their corner. If I would have got the information earlier, I would have started late and came here at 11:30 for my weekly art session with 4th Grade. Happy that they didn't inform. I sticked to my morning routine and could do so much in the morning. And even here in school, I could be productive making few worksheets and clearing up the art corner. Well, a teacher's job goes in cycle. There is more to do behind the scene than actual class and teaching.
So, I worked for 2 hours as my work schedule and got a few pending things done. Had I known about their absence, I would have gone lazy and slow in the morning and would not have been productive. So, there is a silver lining here.
Now, it's my break time/ coffee time. I would sip the coffee and enjoy some online work. I have stayed away from gadgets since morning and don't mind sending 20 minutes on my phone.[
I enjoyed walking in the drizzle to the work. I have my umbrella. If it keeps drizzling, I will walk back. If it rains heavy, I will get a ride in my assistant's car.
. We both work till 12:30.
Hope all is well in your myLot corner.
See you in notifications for now. If I have more time, I will move to recent discussions.
Take care

I don't mind walking in drizzle, as long as it's only drizzle. Once it changes to raining, I want inside a building or car.
I was reading a book but my phone battery needs to be recharged now so I'm online, instead. I cleaned up the kitchen and put the last of the steak, chicken, potatoes and onions into a plastic container and washed the pan I cooked it in. More room in the fridge. Pretty says she wants lasagna tomorrow so we needed room for that pan in the fridge when it's done.
I hope you enjoy your day.

It was not raining..and I walked back home. I love walking when it drizzles. Seems like we have alert over bad weather and heavy rain in coming days. Schools might get closed if that happens. We will have to go back to online classes.
Making space in fridge....that would be an ongoing process. You clean up and then again the things pile up. My refrigerator needs some space management.

@arunima25 I hope the weather doesn't get too bad there. Good luck with it!
I usually "clear space" in our fridge by eating everything in it.

@DaddyEvil That's a nice way of clearing up the fridge
. Nothing goes waste.
It's a bright sunny day since morning after a long time. Not sure, how long it stays this way.

Here I think schools are closed on account of bad weather. Atleast that is what my maid who has an adopted child said she was at home.

It happened with us last month, we had to close the school and go back to online mode. Once again the rain has picked up here. We have alert again. If it continues as per the weather predictions, we might have to shut down the school and go back to online mode.

@allknowing Yes, there is. Monsoon has been really bad in many states. Thankfully, we have good sunshine after a long since the morning. Not sure, how long will it last though.

Yes, there would be always something to be done in home or at work. At workplace, I feel more motivated to do stuffs related to work. I would have taken a longer time to do these worksheets at home as I tend to get distracted and even go lazy

Yes, it is. Had I known it earlier, I would have started late and wasted my morning going slow and relaxed. Somehow, at workplace we stay more focused and productive.

That's the case with most part of India right now. This year, we have monsoon mayhem everywhere. We have rain alert and predictions for a heavy rain throughout this week.

I am so sorry to hear about your job loss. The current times are hard for economy and job market. Many are loosing jobs. I hope that you land up in some good job soon.
I am grateful to God for having a decent job. It's a blessing.

Why do you have a few number of students? Is that an ordinary school, or is it a private school for specific courses only?

@luisadannointed I love my work. My students are challenging and some are really challenging with multiple disorders. But then that makes me more passionate about my work. I want to help as many special needs children and their families as I can in my capacity.

It's an alternative school based on Anthroposophy. We have good teacher student ratio. Each class has 25 students with one teacher and one assistant till middle school. High school has one teacher for 25 students . It's an inclusive school with few children in each class with special needs. I am a special educator and counselor. So, I am there for one to one sessions and small group therapy.

Yes, I am happy too. We get that work vibe at workplace. We are focused and productive. Else I would have gone slow and relaxed at home and wasted the morning. We tried reaching the parents, but they didn't pick the phone. Hoping that all is okay.

@cabuyogty Agree. It's a bit tough to stay motivated with online curriculum. What are you studying online??

Actually, I love my work. It can be challenging and exhausting from time to time. But I am passionate about my work and really look forward to it. It's never been stressful. In fact, it gives me a cause and motivation to wake up each morning
