Not too much happened on Monday.  School all day, came home exhausted which makes it hard to do anything.  Grade worksheets and get ready for the next day’s classes and then it’s 10pm.  How does that happen?

Tuesdays are my busiest teaching day.  I only had one hour free all day and it consisted of being told by several teachers that I needed to move into my new office.  Then I had to go home and get my printer since it wasn’t working and one of the teachers was going to try to fix it.  She was able to fix it!  At the market I bought some doughnuts.  I’d seen them every time I went to the market, but since they aren’t my favorite type of sweet, I never bought them.  But, today I wanted cake.  The cake seller only had chocolate, but directly across were the doughnuts so I decided to try them.  I went up to the gardens by the dam to read and eat doughnuts.  There was a lady there in her workout clothes doing stretches.  I felt kind of bad eating doughnuts while she was exercising, but not bad enough that I was going to not eat them.  And, of course, as you might guess, one of the doughnuts had a hot dog in it.  Because…..Thailand.

Today, more of the same – school – tired – lesson plans – tired.  I was very light headed today.  I think my body doesn’t like the lice shampoo, or I’m fighting off the flu someone else had a week ago, or something is shifting in my nervous system or I have a strange unknown illness.  I feel like I did after giving blood.  Yea, my head started itching again so I did the lice shampoo again.  I tried a different shampoo, but it didn’t seem to help so I went back the one I had done in March.  I did this on Monday and haven’t felt quite right since.

The guy living in my home wants to buy it.  He offered $35,000 less than it was on sale for last summer.  I had another realtor do a price evaluation for me this week.  He came back with the same number the renter offered.  So, it doesn’t make sense to put it on the market and risk it not selling and go through the stress of waiting.  So, I’m going to sell it to the renter.  I now need to coordinate getting my furniture out.  I’m waiting on the sale documents and what ever comes up if he has someone do a house inspection.  Hopefully, it’s not too bad.  It feels so overwhelming to try to do all this from here.  But it also feels good knowing it’s going to sell.  I love that house, but I am ready for it to not be mine.

I’m posting a couple of pictures from Teacher Day last week.  This week, some of my lessons were on body parts and I had them draw monsters and then tell me what body parts their monsters had.  I’m also posting some of my favorite monsters.  Each monster was drawn by 4 different students so that is why some look disjointed.  There are certain body parts I didn’t teach, but they ended up on some of the monsters anyway.  I even got my monk class to draw monsters (and put post-its on themselves test body part knowledge.
