Hopefully it’s something you’ve taught before, so you could call on some prior syllabi? Sorry you got sick. Being around so many people is hard :( — Breaks are healthy.

Yes, thank goodness. I am teaching my favorite class, the first freshman composition. I have used much of my previous PowerPoints and exercises. But I know of four people who were sick the first week. I don't remember so many illnesses so fast in the past. Thank you for checking!

Having taught for many years, I can totally relate. And starting late, before the prep work, is stressful. I admire your can-do nature and willingness to meet your school's last-minute needs. May your week go well, my friend. Your writing projects will get done when the timing is right. I will enjoy catching up to your novel's chapters. Be well.

Thank you! When things hit as a perfect storm, I typically take to forcing myself into action. This time, I felt that it would be better for me to slow down and work through my individual journeys at a pace that was kinder to me. I appreciate your honoring that with this kind comment!

I don't feel like I am accomplishing much at all! I really do need a few naps!
