Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. It is 90 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. Top down weather!
Work today was easy but annoying. Yesterday I had them define 19 terms from Ch. 1. I told them I would give them a few minutes today to finish if they didn't get it done. Most of them didn't. So they got going finishing them today. It took I'd say 25% of them 2 entire periods (80 minutes) to copy down 19 definitions. It wasn't even like I was having them synthesize anything or that it required any thought. Just copy them down. These are 15 and 16 year olds I'm talking about. I'm sure my nephew who is 10 could get it done in a class period.
Anyway aside from that it was a good day. Look at that--I said it was a GOOD day. I never say that about work. It really is such a different vibe where I am now. The next time I see the principal I have to make a point of thanking him for moving me. I was hesitant about going back to the 2nd floor but overall it has been okay.
It has been more than okay the past 2 days. I've been cruising around at a faster speed and am not weaving like I'm drunk. The stairs I still take care with but that has improved as well. I don't know what is making the difference but I'll take it!
I don't have much to do this afternoon. For some reason my Apple Watch isn't syncing with the new iPhone. I think it was but now--nothing. I'm really really really bad at tech stuff. I can always ask my ex to help but I want to try to do it myself without bothering him.
What's everyone else up to this afternoon?

I spent most of my day taking son to his appointments. And it actually DID pour finally, but it only lasted a little while, it was good while it lasted but not enough rain yet.
A few years back, I was given an Apple watch. It synced fine with my old iPhone but when I got the new phone for Christmas last year I couldn't get it to sync. Son found a YouTube video on it and did the deed for me and now it's fine, you might try that?
Good to hear you had a good day and you like where you are! Just great news.

Top down weather sounds amazing, enjoy that. 25% of kids needing 80 minutes to copy 19 definitions is wild, no wonder it was annoying even if the day was good overall. Glad the move upstairs is working out for you, and good luck with the watch, try turning bluetooth off and on again that fixes half my tech problems somehow.

That all sounds like such a wonderful change! I am so glad for you, girl. I can’t imagine how nice it is not to deal with OCD guy.
I’m finally home after a long doctor appointment, and then a brief lunch with my dad at his house. It was a nice treat. Now, I’m home with very little air conditioning because it is only 84 F due to rain in the area. I hope it hits soon! Temperatures go back up tomorrow, but oh, today will be enjoyed!

That's great that work is continuing to be a bit easier than last year. I hope it continues.
