Classes are still rather boring. I'm not sure why, exactly, although my leading theory is senioritis. I try to be peppy and get people talking but I just get stares. I'll keep at it even though I feel like they know I'm forcing the small talk. It's good to stretch out class time too but my second block always goes faster than the first.
The hubs says boring is better than mayhem, which is true.
In other news, I got my crown today. I still feel a little zing when I bite down and eating a blueberry muffin proved uncomfortable chewing on that side. Not so much the pressure of the bite but a cold sensation-another zing. I will see how things improve the next couple days but so far it's not nearly as uncomfortable as the first stage.
Today we had our first parent-teacher conference! The teacher is so nice and seems really on it. Apparently BB is suffering from a lack of focus or motivation. Unfortunately he's in the back of the room so she says it's a bit hard staying on top of him. We have to work on his eye contact and heeding clean up warnings (we're cleaning up in 5 minutes and so forth) because he just doesn't want art time to end. We were more concerned about his letters performance, honestly. She isn't too concerned yet but he's somewhat on a watch list.
Been thinking about going back to a gym program. It's been a long time since the injury took me out the spring before last. I was going to the gym when we were back in WA but nothing near the intensity of CrossFit and I think I need that higher level of stimulation. It's not just about the physical, it really makes me feel better about myself too.
My first therapy appointment on Monday was cancelled and I see him this upcoming Monday now. Still not sure what to talk about or where it will go but I'm feeling hopeful that this will be a good therapist. He looks to have a grey beard so I would think he's been around the block and knows his stuff unless this is a second career for him!
Anywho! Been watching a lot of "Nailed It!" on Netflix and just got into "Stark Trek: Discovery." Other than that, just plodding.
Well wishes all and welcome fall!
Boring is definitely better than mayhem.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for BB.
Boosting up your activity levels again sounds good - I remember how much better you felt.
It sounds like BB may take after you with his love of art. All kids are different. One of my kids was sick every art day at school because he didn't like it that much. The open ended assignments were too overwhelming for him.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, boredom is much preferred over mayhem. High school students are notorious for not getting enough sleep, so maybe they're just tired.
