First day reflections

Today was the first day back at school.  Wow.  It's going to be a difficult year.  3 of my 4 classes are very full.  I felt weak today at the end of the day.  I likened it to the first day after practice or conditioning for a sport - my body was so out of whack.  Ryan and I go to the gym in the morning and I'm so glad we do because I simply have no desire to go later in the day.  Ryan was so sweet too.  He put a little "good luck/I'll be praying for you" card in my bag last night and I didn't find it until after the school day.  He made me dinner tonight and let me veg and listened to me go on and on about my students.  What a great man.  I do love him.

I will be having my surgery next Wednesday.  I met the doc last week and it should be a fairly low risk operation.  I'm gonna have a nice 7-8 inch scar on my leg.  I will be out of school for about 3 days and I'm not too happy about leaving my new kids with a sub for that long.  Ryan, the trooper, is going to be with me at the med center that day and i'm sure we'll get plenty of documentation.  Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts.
