tired

i forgot how tiring teaching is.

and getting up at 5am.

but i've enjoyed being back teaching. and as crazy as the seniors are driving me because i'm making them do work i am happy to be teaching. i know i am cruel and horrible to make the seniors do minimal work in an elective in the spring. what can i say - i have standards.

and i'm continuing to deal with drama with physical therapy with insurance issues. part of it is with the insurance card issue from the state in january which we are trying to fix. the other part is well my pt office made a huge mistake and finally admitted to me yesterday that - ooops, we made a mistake. it is our fault. so at least it isn't going to affect me, just that most likely they won't be paid by insurance for 8 visits. (aka a lot of money). and now i'm waiting on the insurance company to authorize more visits because well i need them still. so fun all around. but i jogged for 5 minutes on monday! woooo! it hurt a bit after so just taking it slow to get used to the new motions. but wooo!

and one perk of being in nj is getting to be back with my nj zetas! i've been able to go to a few events in the last few weeks and it makes me happy going to see these lovely women so often! i'm looking forward to brunch this weekend and then a dinner next week too!

and i'm trying to figure out my march schedule. it looks like the position i'm subbing in will end on friday. so i'm sad about that - i'm going to call the other district i sub for in nj and let them now i have some availability in march too. plus i have two conferences to look forward to! i'm off to chicago (sooo excited about!) and then just down the road in princeton (not as exciting) but the chicago one will be a blast with some amazing coworkers and i'm hanging around a few days to actually explore the city, since i've never been! so any good chicago recs? i'll have almost 2 full days to explore after the conference is over.

oh and happy leap day! it was a nice day today because we got some snow so we had an early dismissal from school! wooo! very nice to get that message ar 10:30 that we're done at 12!
