I often tell my kids, we are making history! This week we will make more history by taking MCAS remotely. I have so many feelings but I'll keep them to myself because I don't want to get in trouble. As a result of MCAS stress and some other life stress, this past week had me feeling like a combination of all of these at once!
Despite the craziness (and I mean craziness) I was able to meet up with a great friend for a real visit for the first time in a long time. We met up a few times in the spring and summer but this was a real visit. We weren't picnicking and we were both fully vaccinated. We wanted to pick a good place for our first real outing and what better place than the fire pits at Bow Market! We started at the first pit table and then moved up to the balcony to continue the evening. The hostess was surprised I wasn't dining with "Jarod"and mentioned to my friend that everyone thinks we are a "cute couple." We try! It was a beautiful night to be at Bow and as usual, the food and drink was top notch but more importantly, I got to visit with a great friend thanks to our vaccines!
I also managed to hit class 300 this week! I so enjoy the XTend Barre and Pilates classes. It took less than a year for me to get to my 300th class. I really hope I'm able to keep this up when we return to normal.
Speaking of normal, I had a lovely conversation with the saleswoman at Origins about not going back to the "old normal." As my calendar starts filling up again, I'm feeling that stress creeping back in. We both agreed that normal needs to be different. We were all running around like crazy before and that wasn't great.
One thing I am looking forward to is the return of the ballet. I was so excited to get this email talking about next season!
As a teacher, seeing the White House recognize teachers and what they have gone through this year warmed my heart. Very refreshing!
Since it was Teacher Appreciation Week, JO was nice enough to take me to a fire pit at Bow Market. This year, JO deserves some teacher appreciation love. He's been my IT guy, my facilities guy, Google Meet tester, gotten me coffees and lunches, and all along the way he's listened to me laugh and cry, and cheered me and my kids on all year. JO has already appreciated how hard teaching is, but this year he got a front row seat and I think it was even more eye opening for him. We had an awesome time at the fire pit and it was just what I needed heading into MCAS week.
And finally, I couldn't agree more with this guy! The shot was enough for me but if someone else needs to get something free to get their shot, be my guest.
