GELS going well thus far

cute little stinkbug

She was frightened at being blind at first.  We got her over it....well, mostly her partner got her 

over it.  The child is only 7, a bit too young for GELS, but we made an exception.  Not sorry we did. 

It's been good to teach science again.  Subbing does not really allow me to do that.  It's someone else's classroom  and plans. Not the same.  Not a complaint, just a fact.

Will it be the same at Clermont Middle?

Every situation is different. But if I didn't attempt this, I would never know.  And that is more than I want to allow.

Some have told me they think I am going crazy, returning to the classroom.  I could never make them understand.  I don't need to. Simply put, I don't need anyone's approval anymore or their permission to do what I feel i must.

Going to Val's funeral. Four hour drive.  Not a far distance for me, lately. 

This might be crazy too, as I chance an encounter with the Griffins.  Not exactly sure how I will handle that.  One of the first things Mike is likely to remark about is my weight regain. No one else I know has, but Mike is an ass, an arrogant ass. Only hope he doesn't try and assume center stage and perform, as he usually does in  social gatherings.  I plan to walk out if he does. Not gonna tolerate it.
