Kids are the Future

Report cards submitted 🥰. Life with AC outside of the classroom 😂. Can you believe we have 2 weeks left?!

In a lot of pain and waiting for my next painkiller dose. Currently on medication and wishing for a speedy recovery but it really upset me that this was my automatic response to my doctor upon receiving medical news. Spin class was my stress reliever and I can’t coach or ride either so right now it’s healing by resting (with fever sweats and cuddles).

In a capitalist society where people are productivity machines, we forget that we can easily be replaced but who we are at the core and as family members cannot be. Even with a medical note, I was asking my dr if it’s necessary to take time off and she had to talk sense into me.

Please take the time to go to the doctor if you feel unwell. I was hoping to ignore symptoms I’ve never experienced and still showed up to work on Monday (terrible idea) until my intuition told me I really needed to seek medical attention when minor things didn’t improve and started feeling more intense. I’m glad I did. If your body is in pain, that’s your body talking to you!

The chronic stress isn’t just due to work but a multitude of factors. Including the future of public education :(. Don’t forget IG is a highlight reel if me being stressed is a surprise to you.

Sending love and light to all and letting this remind you, you are not just your job. Your health comes first and don’t forget it like I did♥️
